The Flab Battle in Seattle



Recommended Posts

I was thinking how success happens more rapidly in a team environment. Lets get this group rolling and maybe in a month or so we can start planning quarterly group meet and greets and some fab Soup joint! Who's with me?

Hi, All -

Sounds like a plan. I am still pre-sleeve, but will likely have my surgery in late spring or early summer.

This would be fun but to far away. Western Washington but not in Seattle.

There are at least 3 of us Westsound/Olympic Peninsula. Perhaps if everyone gets organized to plan periodic events, members east of the sound might be willing to hop a ferry at some point. Also, I sometimes ride the Olympic Discovery Trail from Blynn to Port Angeles. Could be an opportunity to meet up at a coffee shop or something. (Although admittedly, I'm expecting to get scheduled for surgery in the next 30 days or so, so I don't imagine I'll be doing a lot of riding for a few months...)

Anyway, just some ideas.

      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.

      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!!
