I'm still alive. WOrking on Homecoming this week and next. Then I can relax for the rest of the year! Gus turned 3 on Wednesday...big party at Chucky cheese on Saturday!

I'm scheduled for a fill on the 8th and I'm planning on being at the meeting that evening too. I don't think I will have a fill though. I'm never hungry and can only eat a little still, but I'm no longer sick to my stomach. I've only gone about 2 weeks without being sick and I'm not ready to give up my comfort yet. If I can lose 1 lb by Monday, I will have lost 10 on this fill. If I deny a fill, and need one in say about 2 weeks, will they let me get one or do I have to wait?

LO2us, glad to hear from you! I have never denied a fill, but I think you may have to wait. Not real sure but I was thinking someone said that on here. Doesn't sound like you need one anyway. Dr, H said if you are sick and or can't eat enough, you are too tight. He told me that last visit. He said if that doesn't ease in a few days, call them. I was a little surprised at that. Thought you had to wait longer. Anyway that never applies to me. Sometimes I wonder if I have a leak, like Susan did. I think it was Susan. I am 7 months out now. I am so glad you are doing so well! It feels wonderful, huh? I am looking forward to seeing you Mon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUS!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone. How's everyone this morning?

Shannon, Dr. H told me that if we didn't get a fill, we would have to wait until the next scheduled visit to get a fill.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Talk to yall later.

Got an email from Mrs. Betty. YES, the meeting is on for Mon. (tomorrow night.) 7:00 p.m. I don't know why it didn't get posted on noscales. Guess Dr. H is super busy. Hope everyone had a great weekend. We went to Nashville, AR to hear Cheryl Wright, think that was her name. Anyway we really enjoyed it and the weather was beautiful. I haven't been getting out much these days, so I enjoyed it more than usual.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
