Yeah' date=' I did Friday night. eggs topped with lf cheese. Couldn't help it. Was so dragging. But I'm not going to beat myself over it. Back on track and focused. I'm not a big eater, my problem is I don't eat normally and when I do its usually dinner, I don't like to eat by myself, I don't want people to look at me and judge me, so I usually eat with my family in my home. Which is bad, I know because it forces my body to store everything as fat. I still have a week and have committed to finish it out.[/quote']

hw much have u lost

Did you have to swallow barium for your preop tests? If so, it is the same thing. They give you contrast---yuck-- and make you swallow it to make sure the sleeve is working and not leaking. My first test failed because my sleeve was too swollen to let anything through. Yesterday it went great!

Congrats to you and thanks for the explanation

WOO HOO!!! 1 week from tomorrow for me!! I am down 10 pounds so far from my shakes. How are all my August 19th surgery mates doing on their pre op diets so far?

I'm down 10 pounds as well LSU and the 19th can't get here soon enough. In our pre op we have the choice of Protein Bars or shakes. Thanks to you guys, my newfound discovery of Quest bars and adding crystal light to vanilla Protein Shake powder to "customize" them has made it more interesting.

Side note: as an Ole Miss law alum, this may be the most cordial conversation I've ever had with a LSU fan lol

      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.

        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.

      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!!
