You will be okay, the first time you get on the scale and see the weight that has started to leave your body that will be the constant reminder that this is why you did it ! I promise it will be a struggle of mind over matter and remember food does not matter! I am one month out and 43 lbs lost I thought I was going to starve to death but realized I did not get this way over night and have been given the ability to be in control of my life and I will make the best out of it Good luck you can do this !!!!

Um....pretty sure I was allowed Soup at five days post op. stop being down on yourself. There is no way you were able to consume more calories then you should anyways. The surgery stops us from physically eating to much....now you have to work on your head hunger. Good luck!

Thanks but I'm saying this because the soup had carrots, potatoes and chicken in it.. Even though it was very soft..

I did the same thing post op, though it wasn't soup..i was worse :( I did mashed potatoes.. God it sucked they tasted so good. I had to remind myself my stomach is still healing and to not push myself. Next time do your best to remove the bits from the Soup, having been cooked with all the bits, the broth will still taste amazing!!

you have to take this one day at a time.. and remember you did this to yourself to BE HEALTHY and BE HAPPY. Like KBurns said, once you get on that scale, you get so excited. I would step on mine almost daily..and each day a pound or 2..it made me want to do better.. First time I hit 199 (first time in 18 years I had been under 200!) I cried...and I Knew then, everything I had done and was doing was beyond worth it. I would never change my decision. I had 'buyers remorse' the first couple of months thinking of all the place I couldn't eat or buffets I wouldn't go to..but seriously? really? I would miss that? I THINK NOT!

Hang in there and don't be so harsh on yourself!

      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!!
