Today marks 6 months postop. It has not been easy mentally or physically but I'm doing it slow but sure!

When I met my surgeon 8/29/12: 332

When liquid diet started 11/25/12: 315

Day of surgery: 300

Today: 241.9

Im officially down 90lbs total!

Thank you all for your support over these last 8-9 months. I wouldn't have been able to do this without this group or my other online groups. You guys understand what we go through as supportive as my family and friends are and want to be. They still don't get it. Thank you again!

How tall are you? My goal is 165 too. I'm 5'9" and the reason I ask is 2.5 weeks ago on surgery day I was 268 and now I'm 242 so we currently weigh about the same...it would be cool to try to get to goal together.

Its been going great. ..only weighing once a week so I dont know if I changed since Thursday. But feels good to be eating some soft foods like eggs, tuna salad, etc. You look great!

      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!!
