I have so much going through my head right now. I'd like to share some of them in hope for some feed back... One of things that scares me is sipping Water, I have NO problem drinking water.. But I drink it fast especially after a good work out and then the saggy skin .. I just turned 50 in July and my skin is already sagging . Ive been working out with a trainer since april and its still sagging ... however i do know that working out doesn't tighten the Skin... but it was worth a shot.. Then the happy thoughts .. I can't wait to have this new tool to help me with my weight loss Journey.. I've already lost 30 pd since I started my option classes in April and I feel soooo much better already and really looking forward to taking off 60 + more...

Good luck to everyone

Just look at sipping as just not taking huge drinks or gulps. In my first couple weeks I had to take baby drinks or sips but now at 5 weeks I can drink good amounts , I just can not gulp or drink fast like I used to. The gas pain sets in and you will stop trying to gulp....

Hello, I'm doing very well, Thank you . although I was having a hard time getting all the Protein and Water in the first few days. But the last two day I've been able to get in 60 grams of protein... Woot woot. Far as pain or bad gas none :) I'm a very happy camp. How are things with you?

      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!!
