Marie, it was great meeting you. I'm sorry your appointment didn't go well...the bright side is that you will come out here again soon. When that happens, we'll set up a Red Robin night just for you.

Thanks! You are so awesome!

So I got my port revision scheduled for the 17th of June. I am driving out with my Mom and two sisters (DH is staying to work with the boys we nanny or he'd be there). I am looking forward to the beautiful drive through the mountains! Is there any chance that you ladies might want to have a Red Robin night on the 16th? It's a Wednesday, so I totally understand if you can't make it mid-week. We are going to drive back the 18th, so I can make it back for a surprise bday party I planned for my best friend. Crazy, I know. But DH tells me I'm crazy, so I might as well go with it! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

YAY! I am so excited to get to see you both again! I was wondering where the Red Robin you guys usually meet at is? I will be alone at my preop and until about midnight which is when my mom will get there, so she can take me to surgery the next day. I am going to be staying at the sleep Inn on Arapahoe and the freeway. I can book it for about $50 a night. I am taking a shuttle from the airport to the Dr but if I could get a ride from there to RR it would be much appreciated!!

My appointment is at 3:30, but Natalie said it might be later, because Dr K has surgery that day. So just having to kinda play that one by ear. Not sure when I will fly in yet, but I can hang out at the Dr's office bldg for a while if I need to. I will bring movies to watch on my laptop or something.

do you still have my cell number? You could call me after your appt is over and I could pick you up at Dr K's and take you to the hotel to rest a bit before dinner! Or take you to the Walgreens for your Rx if you needed them. I have no problem doing whatever you needed.

Thank you so much! You are wonderful! I do still have your number, had to go to my PM inbox, as I left my phone in a pair of pant and washed them, so lost all my contacts. You are so sweet! I really appreciate it!

      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.
