Went to a baseball game last night. I'm 9 weeks out and had my first ballpark hot dog ( no bun) ;) and handful of peanuts! It felt good to feel normal again and not have to take my Protein Shakes to the game. Thus far down 67 lbs,no issues.

Side note; this delicacy will not be a regular part of my diet but we do have to enjoy the pleasures of life in measured proportions.

Currently now exercising 30-60 min six days a week. Taking in around 1000 cals/ 80+ grams Protein a day. No carb counting. Losing approx. 3 lbs a week.

Having an issue! Mine was 4/17. I'm down 42 however, I'm slipping into my old ways. I ate a candy bar and I just prayed that it would make me sick. But it didn't..... it was yummy. And now I'm scared that I will eat one every day. My Protein is low due to Protein Shakes make me throw up. Of course the good for you stuff I can't handle but any thing that is bad my tummy can handle. I'm loosing hope at the moment. I know what I need to do but afraid the little devil on my shoulder is going to win. That tricky little f***er! I do use my fitness pal but I only have 1 friend on there and it's my mother in law! And she loves to feed people. God help me.. I'm a mess.

I was sleeved on the 22nd of April and have lost 21 pounds. I'm having trouble with my large incision. It continues to break open spilling blood and infection. So I can't walk on my treadmill yet. My surgeon had to reopen it and clean it out today. No shower for 3 days and no walking for 3 weeks. Hell with no meds!

I am 3 wks out and have 2 open draining wounds about 2 inches deep that i have to pack twice a day with guage. Its super frusterating cuz i cant do any exercise or move my upper body much so i know how you feel.

Surgery 4/12, 245 lbs

Today, 213 lbs

32 lbs in 8 weeks

I'm very happy with my progress but every once in a while I find myself munching on Doritos or some other junk food. The good news it's not half the bag like it used to be, just a serving! So I log it into MFP and move on.

      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.
