Here are some before and after pictures of my honey and I. He didn't have weight loss surgery however he chose to lose weight with me. Pre-surgery we weighed a total of 518 pounds. We are down to 375 pounds. He has lost 88 pounds and I have lost 55. God is good and so is this journey!

@@sweeteyes504 Congrats on your accomplishments so far! That's great! I'm 5'10" my HW was 368, SW was 333, in the before pic I was 342, I did a 3 day liquid diet before surgery. I hit that dreaded 3 week stall, and stalled again last week. As far as eating, I just starting holding down meat after downloading an app recommended on this forum called Eat Slower. A typically day for me would be BF is usually a Premier Protein shake, lunch a small chilli (the only 'meat' I could keep down since week 4) and dinner a quarter of an avocado with a little Evoo and balsamic vinegar. Now that in adding 2 oz of chicken, the avocado slice is smaller, but I still can't eat it all. I'd be lying if I told you I get all my fluids in, I try, but 36 Oz seems to be my max. I have a 16 oz coffee every morning, regular caff, with skim milk too. As far as exercise, my office is very fast paced, so I'm running around there for 7 hours a day, hit the gym after work for an hour for a little more cardio. I just began strength training again on Monday, so I'm at the gym a little longer now. My son does judo 3 x's a week, so on those days, I hit the mini gym at the judo center to do an hour of rowing. Saturdays and Sundays are cleaning and family days, so they are my rest days.

      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!!
