I just have to vent... I got a call today from the drs office to ask if we could push back my surgery till the 28th of October. My heart fell to my feet. Wtf! I'm trying so hard not to cry or complain. But I have so much that has been scheduled! Parents coming jn from out of town just to help me and make sure my son gets to school etc. ugh.

Ok, so they asked--you don't have to agree. Say NO, too much already scheduled around this. They'll sort it out.

I had a call Friday from my surgeon's office for a different surgery, asking to change my date. I said No, my plans are set. They said okay and got my pre-op tests schedule so now my date is fixed right where I want it. Not a big deal.

I thought about that but then I don't want the dr taint it out on me. Idk. I'm just worried to piss the dr off. I think the whole problem is that the dr likes to do his surgeries in the morning. That Monday the 21st the surgery would be in the afternoon and they would be short staffed in the . OR. I just wonder why the time wasn't blocked off when I first got my surgery date. I think I am going to tell them no.

Tell them no you already have plans all set at home for that date. My surgery was supposed to be on a Monday and they changed it on Friday to the Thursday. Then Tues of that week they called again to change it to the Monday after I told them I couldn't change my husband had taken the time out of work to be with me an I had already scheduled time out of work. They kept my Thursday date with no problems.

Breath girl... Think positive,but I would say nope simply cuz everyone made plans to help you out. Not many of us including my self have others to help them out after any surgery.

      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!!
