*WITHOUT WANTING TO OPEN IT UP AGAIN*

A BMI of 30 is obese (just). If someone has made good attempts to get to a healthy weight and can't (like all of us) I say the sooner the better.

You are a very smart man Dean...very open minded, sympathetic, understanding, and non-judge mental. I believe that is the kind of man His farther and i created in our son and I'm so proud of him on his 21st bday!!!!!!

Life is about opening up our minds and hearts to love and understand others whether their lives or experiences are the same as ours or not.

I don't know about very smart :) , but I try my best to live all of the other attributes as best I can.

21 - I can only imagine what it will be like to see my kids at that age, young adults with their lives ahead of them.

Wish your son a happy birthday from VST - and congratulations to you and his Dad, I'm sure you've done a wonderful job!

This thread and others like it give all the reasons why I no longer come to this site. Thought I would just visit and see if things have changed, but no, it's still nasty, unsupportive and unwelcoming. Everything a site like this SHOULD NOT BE. A shame because there's some really sincere, nice people here.

No irony there, just good advice,but it's apparent that you only see advice as good if it matches your ideas. I think you have been given a lot of good advice on here and if I were you I would seek counseling before I considered undertaking this surgery. It is clear that you have not taken any good advice onboard and consider yourself an expert in a surgery for which you have no experience and absolutely no idea what you are talking about. There, I have said my piece, back in 3 months to see if uneducated and inexperiencedcexperts like you have gone elsewhere.

I'm not going to read through the thread at what I missed. No need, since I know too well I'll have to say something and sometimes things are better off without my two cents. Plus.. I'm too lazy

Marvelous Monday morning too y'all

The "Fatties" thread was a sane conversation compared to this one :o

"an expert in a surgery for which you have no experience and absolutely no idea what you are talking about" this is my favourite part because when I asked for info from people who "had surgery in India" you jumped on with quite a few snarky judgmental comments w your uneducated thoughts on people going to India for surgery --- for which you had not had.

I don't know why u say I have not taken any good advice on board? I'm asking lots of questions on here to better prepare myself for what may come. NO ONE knows exactly how they will feel after this surgery all we can do on this side (pre op) is be as prepared for anything that comes our way. And thank's to BFL advice I will def look for a group or someone to talk to post op to use "more tools" that are offered to me and make my life/journey easier ... Can't wait to catch up in 3 months!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
