Why does the list of December surgeries look they way it does? Maybe it's just because I'm viewing on my cell but their is codes everywhere.

Mine had all those numbers code things too!

I have been thru the 6 visits with a dietician. I have a pre op appt tomorrow. I hope everything goes well because I have no idea what to expect during this appt. The last appt I had I was just so happy to have finished the 6 months that I forgot to ask what to expect. I'm hoping all will go well and I get scheduled in December. It would be a great Christmas gift for myself. Will up date. I'm new to the forum but will get a photo added.

Hi Mrs Blues ! So glad I found people who I can go thru this together !!

Me too. Because I have not told people. Except my boyfriend who is taking me and picking me up, and my niece, only because she will be watching my daughter until I get back home

I started my liquid diet today. 1 meal and all liquids for the rest of the week, then nothing but liquids for the next week. I see the Nut on Thurs, the Cardiologist on Fri, and the rest of my pre-op testing done on Mon along with meeting with the pharmacist. 12 days and counting and it feels like it's full of stuff to do!

Has anyone had any food related dreams? I had a dream that I was at a buffet and every time I went to put something on my plate, it disappeared! lol

For all my December journey buddies that have stressed an interest in the FB don't give up on me just reading through all the information that came out on a recent upgrade and really not liking not having the privacy that would be necessary for some of us. If anyone has any suggestions would love to hear them. For what I am reading it is going to make too much information available for other people to see.

Thank you!! When do you start your liquid diet?

I start mine tomorrow and I am so worried I am going to be miserable and not be able to do it! Nerves already! Your surgery is one day before mine by the way, so hopefully we can connect and chat! :)

Hey Msix,

I was thinking about the Facebook thing...

I don't think there is a way for you to make everything private enough on your end, but I think that if people like or join the page, they can make it private on their end. They would just have to fix who can see these posts in the privacy sections to just themselves. I think activity would still show up on their wall when they look at it, but would be invisible to others. Maybe create the page or group and then we can try and help those who want to remain private to fix their feeds. Also, the ones who would like to remain anonymous on fb could always create a "ghost" account and join that way. I had a profile for my cat at one time. Lol. Just some thoughts...And thank you for all the time your spending trying to figure this out! ")

You can start a group and set the privacy setting to "secret". It shows up nowhere on your FB for people to see. I'm in another secret group and have had no problems.

      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!!
