I actually just had my first mushy food since the surgery. And it sucks!!!! I have this pain in my chest that comes and goes. But other than that everything is good! Lost almost 60lbs since I started my journey in January. So overall I'm happy!

How are things going for you?

Lol ... I remember that stage it did suck ... Be careful with the pain in your chest , don't just ignore it . That's a great loss , I'm a slow loser and so far I'm down 66 in 6 months hey ill take it ... things are even slower now going into my 7 month but I'm pretty positive that I will get to goal ( another 40 lbs ) ...

That's awesome!!! Yeah I ate too much this morning, I think that's why I had the chest pain. I just ate about an hour ago and listened to my body a little more, AND NO CHEST PAIN! AWESOME!!!

It's so good to hear that you're close to your goal! I'm still along ways from mine.

Hello Everyone! I'm (reluctantly, work related) a Jersey girl...Spotswood / Englishtown (Middlesex) area. Had my surgery on March 25, 2013 with Dr. Glassnap from NJ Bariatric Center, Springfield. I can happily say things seem to be going well so far. Anybody from around my area?

      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!!
