I must say that this has been the first time that I have ever read or experienced any back in the day bigotry. That comment was completely unnecessary. This is 2014 where clearly we type without thinking. I suppose the person that made the comment would have been offended if it was made to them in regards to their race. Better if the post was just deleted. And for the record I well educated, a RN and raised in NY and now live in the south. The only time I've heard that term used was with "redneck hillbillies". Now getting back to the question. Please eat healthy Snacks when you get the munchies. If there's any negative replies don't waste your time.

It would have been better to just have left it alone like it has been, instead you have the audacity to come on here and use the term redneck hillbillies. Quit stirring the pot.

"Colored"? Only some white trash trailer park moron would use this word. I say this in a loving way, because I love and respect people of all races. And while we're on the subject of hateful words, there are a number if people here who like to use the word "fat" - very hateful really.

Did you stop smoking pre or post-op if so for how long? When did you start back?

My doc said 10 days before and after.

Did you stop smoking before surgery and how often did you smoke when you got home daily? Every other day?

I smoked the night before surgery and I smoked maybe once or twice a day after surgery and made sure to take small hits so I didn't cough. I'm almost 10 weeks out now and smoke whenever I feel like and I have had no problems.

Black / white. ? What. ? It's all pink inside. LOL. This isn't the place for hate this is a place where we all bond over something ! Being fat so let's hug and leave the outside issues out side Black / white. We all have our own shit to put up with but here we are just people trying to help other people with something we all have in common "One love"

I smoke it instead of using anti depressants. It evens me out mentally without all the insane side effects of pills. Anyway, I smoked up throughout my pre op and an 5 mos. post op doing great. I do occasionally get the munchers, but I eat healthier Snacks if that happens. I'm doing "excellent" according to my surgeon. It helped A LOT after surgery. I had trouble getting in fluids for quite awhile. But, after smoking I would have a little dry mouth and was able to tolerate more liquids.

PM me if you ever want to :)

Did you ever stop smoking prior to surgery?

Did you let your surgeon know you smoke?

So you smoked all through pre-op and 5 months post-op? Did you tell your surgeon you smoke?

I stopped smoking 2 weeks prior and started approximately 3 weeks after.

I always make a nice chocolate Protein Shake with skim plus prior to going into the garage to partake. And I usually wait until the wife and kids are in bed before I indulge.

If I get the munchies I have the shake to sip, and with the quality of the ganja these days it's not long before I am so relaxed I'm too lazy to get out of bed to go downstairs to the kitchen.

      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!!
