I'm sure it's gonna get me judged, but I start my 2 week liquid diet on Monday, so I've been eating like an a-hole all weekend. It's shameful.

I haven't gotten a surgery date yet but I'm enjoying all of the stuff I won't be able to have afterwards. I told my boyfriend tonight that I want subway one more time. He asked why bc all I get is a cold cut combo with tons and tons and tons of veggies.. He said well you can just get a salad after surgery and still have what you get now. That's NOT the point! Lol it's fast food. Period. Soda, I stopped a week ago.

I'm a little concerned about what will or won't agree with my stomach after surgery.

I am crossing my fingers that I will get a date within the next couple of weeks. My journey probably started a couple of years ago when two of my good friends had weight loss surgery. Also, two of my daughter's bridesmaids have been successful with their surgeries. One did the lap band. She lost her weight slowly but looks fantastic and has kept it off for more than 4 years now. The other one had the gastric bypass, lost a great deal of weight, got pregnant, and has kept most of her weight off since. Her son is two. A very good friend had the lap band surgery but had some complications and had to have it removed. However, she still looks fantastic and doesn't seem to be having any trouble staying fit now. I do have one friend who did the bypass who lost over 100 lbs but has put more than half back on. She has been very encouraging though because she states that she did not follow the rules and tells me that if I do what I am supposed to do, I should be successful. She did not exercise at all and has not kept up with her Vitamins and supplements.

I took a long time deciding to do this but since then it seems like it has gone by really fast. I have one more workshop to attend, an appointment next week with my husband and the surgical nurse and my final appt with the surgeon both set for Feb 5th. I am confident that I will be able to lose the weight. My doubts are centered around handling my stress and problems in a new way. I made a major life decision in December which has greatly reduced the stress in my life but I already feel like I am coming down from that success as I get used to my new surroundings and circumstances. My family is supportive but doesn't always really understand what it is I really need. They are also not used to having to put aside their own needs and wants for mine. I have kind of drawn a line in the sand with them, allowing myself to take care of me, even though my feelings of being selfish and self centered are never too far below the surface.

I keep waffling back and forth between trying to watch what I eat with the maddening urge to eat all those things I won't be able to have after surgery. It's intimidating to think of all the things I cant have anymore but then I remember that losing this weight will allow me to do so many things I haven't done in year or ever. Please, any comments about how you all have handled any of this stuff would be very welcome at this point. Thanks.

Meems...that was beautiful post! I share an issue with having always put others needs before mine...and now having a bit of guilt about putting mine on the forefront. But I keep reminding myself...this IS for them too! Life with us will be better! We will be examples of Portion Control and healthy choices and what taking care of ourselves looks like!! Best wishes :)

Yeah, they aren't so bad. I think the anesthesia is lighter. I'm glad you're ok!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
