...it's so strange. I'm 6 weeks out, and I haven't craved anything at all - no steak, pizza, none of my "favorites". I'm not hungry, and have to set my alarm to remind me to eat. :( But popcorn? ? OMG! I think I'll fight Godzilla for a handful of popcorn right about now. This time of year, I'd order my usual holiday Garrett's Popcorn out of Chicago for myself, family, and friends. But if I can't have none, then they can't either! :). Good luck, and thanks to everyone for the info.

Best of luck to you..YOU will WIN the Battle... Focus on your Protein for now...... you will be able to enjoy a FEW BITES of popcorn later... FOCUS on WHY you did the surgery (FOR YOU).. you will FIND that you WILL NOT MISS FOOD!..... Keep your mind strong....and remember WHY you did the surgery!.. ALL I have to do is look at a previous photo,,,, and I am back on track!

Keep those goals UP FRONT! and you will succeed!!!

I am HALF the person I used to be

Just wanted to send out and see who and who IS NOT eating popcorn! There are many WORSE things you can eat, and it is not like we are gulping down gallons like we used too..... I still can eat about a half MINI bag and be happy. I have seen SEVERAL have the surgery, and THEN "TRY TO BEAT" the system... Yeah, OK WHY............NOW you have gained most of the weight you lost back, SO WHAT WAS YOUR POINT and WHO REALLY WON?????????

Those of us that were serious STUCK to the plan and we are very HAPPY and healthier today!

      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!!
