Not if I go there and club your knees! Know go sit down and let some of us slugs be heroes for a month.

:D

You better hurry. Another week and I don't think you'll be able to catch me.

I am still about six weeks away My Insurance requires a six month managed program.I started in June, so I am almost there! Currently I have taken one of the required four weekly pre surgical skills classes. When they are complete (Nov 7) my file is sent to the surgeon, for appointment and scheduling of the surgery. I have been trying to focus on the plan and losing as much weight before the surgery.

Thank You. The program that I am in has done a good job helping me be prepared. The Exercise Psyiologist has me doing 20-30 minutes a day of cardio, minimum. I have also begun light weight and stretching exercises 3 times a week. I figure it is good to establish some routines now, so that I can get back to it as soon as able after the surgery.

Oh I did so well today! 3.3 miles of walking/hiking uphill, 60 mins of snorkeling half of which was against the current. I prob put on 2 lbs from just swallowing sea Water. Btw, don't waste time snorkeling the Garrafon reef. Nothing to see!

Anyway puts me at 46.7 miles on walking/biking.

Tomorrow is cake hiking and snorkeling so we shall see. Can my fitbit go snorkeling with me, does anyone know?

oh fricking heck! WHY AM I THINKING OF CAKE? Cave. Cave hiking. No cake for me. :(

You know something weird? We went to a grocery store here, and they had samples out. One of the samples was an entire fricking cake! Like a whole wonderful white cake with red gooey things and icing and whatnot just sitting out. I guess the idea was you just walked up to it and cut yourself a slice? I was amazed there was anything left. Like, people were just walking by it and I was going "People! There's CAKE there!" At the very least you would have thought there would be a stampede but nope.

But then I walked by it as well, left it untouched. I guess my subconscious hasn't let go of that cake yet. Sigh.

      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.
