Awe girl!! I bet you are starting to get scared. I would be too! But look at all you been through with no real problems and a positive attitude to boot!! :) I think you are gonna be just fine. Always know you can come here for support. Do you have someone going with you and all that there?

My daughter is driving me and my dad will meet us there. I just don't understand why some people have to continually be tried in their life. One thing on top of another.

Thank you very much and good to know about the papaya enzyme. Was just checking.

I'm just scared cuz I hate to have this other surgery and my daughter lose me. My dad promised me he would do everything to keep ex away from her since he hasn't had her best interest and only cares for himself. That made me feel better. But I know not having it is pending cloud of doom over my head.

Gen, if you haven't had a negative reaction to anesthesia before, chances are, you won't this time. You are going to be fine. :)

I know it. I've felt the same way. My Mom always says that we are like raw diamonds and the more trials and tribulations we go thru the more we get "polished", until we are brilliant, beautiful gems! Lord I hope it's true!!

I'm 6 weeks out and have lost 28. I'm a slow loser but 9 to lose to onederland. If it weren't for the stall, I would have hit it before next surgery, Jan 31. That was my goal. But oh well, need a new goal now.

It's because you are strong and can handle it. Prepare yourself mentally for a good surgery with a positive removal of all the things that need to get out. Sending good thoughts your way!

      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!!
