Woohooo I am so excited. Today is my official 2 month weigh-in and I have lost 50 pounds, 94 pounds from my heighest. I am so happy to have lost 50 and am finally feeling like this surgery was worth it. It has taken me awhile to get here just because of all the changes I have had to make and the fact that I can't eat food to make me happy. I never relized how much I relied on food for my happiness but I did 100%. I think the weight loss and feeling healthy and having more energy is my new happiness. I still have my moments when I miss the crappy foods that I love but for the most part I am doing pretty damn good. I can't wait to lose more and feel even healthier and more alive. This is amazing!!! To those people who are having a hard time just hold on as tight as you can. You WILL get to a better spot I promise!!!

Awesome job! It's definitely a lot of mind work but, you can do it. Read what you can, research and try out new hobbies! It's all worth it because YOU'RE WORTH IT! :)

You are very welcome. That was why I wanted to post this. To let others like you know that it will get better especially when you feel like there is no hope and you are never going to feel that way. Just stay strong.

Thank you :) I usually exercise Mon-Fri for about 20 min in the morning. I drop my daughter off at school and then walk around the neighborhood around there and then walk back to my car and go home and get ready for work. I also lift hand weights and use bands to strength train. I should do way more but I haven't. I love the walking videos by Leslie Samson. You can get them at Walmart or target, online,almost anywhere. I use her tape to strengh train with the bands. She is great for all ages and all sizes. She only has like 5 moves she does so it's easy but it will def make you sweat! Hope this has helped.

      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!!
