I noticed the weight loss in my face first. I considered this a blessing.

I wanted to mention to Princess Sarah. You have to get some nutriotion and plenty of fluids. I hope you get some answers becase three days of nausea is hard on you. Hang in there and call the DR back if this persists.

It seems a couple of us have been at a stall. I quit weighing myself cause it ticks me off! Now I blew my knee out so my daily walks are not going to happen for a while so I'm sure that's not going to help! Ugh! Always something!

My surgery date was 08/07/2013 - I have seen a lot of posts on here about not liking Protein Shakes or not being able to tolerate them. There are two protiens that I like and have been able to tolerate. This first is from GNC and it is called Amplify smoothie in chocolate. I mix it with unsweetened almond milk and it is really good. The other one is from Unjury and it is the chicken Soup flavor. Not my favorite but good for some variety. Hope that helps someone...

We are close my surgery was aug6th.

I've also had set backs n stalls. N I no sometimes I don't get enough protein' date=' but I gag at any of the Protein stuff.

My dr. called me himself last week the nutritionist showed him my food log :( he was mad cause I was eating cantaloupe n watermelon. Her said I was eating to much. N he's very disappointed in me. All I could say is ill do better. But he wants 4lbs gone a week n the most I could do is 3lbs but not all the time. Ive lost 39lb I thought was good. Oh well i'm doing the best I can now. :) i'm glad for you. :)[/quote']

And I'm glad for you. Hang in the there!

That its great!! How much have you lost?

I ask finally feeling like my old self' date=' with all the other aches n pains popping up. Ugh. Ooh well.. I am also wearing clothes back in my closet. I'm not feeling the sexy yet. Lol.

I've lost 39lb. I haven't lost any wt. Since last Friday but I am doing Water arobics 3-4x a week. I'm glad for the wt. I've lost but my dr. is not gonna be pleased. He wants 4lb a week gone. And that's not happening. I'm eating 550, to 650 calories a day, does anyone else eat this much?? I hope i'm not over eating.[/quote']

Last I checked I was down 43 lbs. I try not to weigh to often and use my clothes as a guide. All my pants that I wore before surgery are very big but I try to still wear them with cute tops. I however have found old slacks and jeans that I am currently enjoying plus a couple of new items. Most days I don't eat enough but I'm a work in progress. I've been following your post and you are dong great! My Mom had the same surgery you had 21 years ago and she's my inspiration!

      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!!
