I see at top of this screen that the letters LBC its a live chat . I tried to set up a chat for Central Illinois but says can't at this time .However the default is where I was and no one was on there at the time when I was there .I will keep trying to set up so if any one is on and wantto chat we can . The green or blue dot under our names tells if on line on not I just figured that out today

Anytime is good for me. I work at US cellular in champaign. I can pretty much take my lunch whenever. Oh yeah, My name is Linda, I actually live in thomasboro, which is about 8 miles north of champaign. Do you want me to set up a time and place or would you . Either way works for me.

Hi you guys,

I'm going for my first fill today.....ya whooooo

How about all of us meeting for lunch sometime next week. I could call Olive Garden and make a reservation. That may help those who are on their lunch hour. What is the best time for you guys that are working ?

Oh....If anyone would like to go someplace else let me know. :)

Sorry I've been away for so long! Work has been so busy with all the new buildings we are constructing. I've read everything and caught up with all of you so I am now current! Jennie, you are doing so well! As for me, I finally moved the scale this morning and lost my first pound in almost 4 weeks! My second fill really did nothing for me, but I have my 3rd on the 15th and I think it will really do the trick. I am still getting hungry between 5 and 6 times a day and I refuse to sit around with my stomach growling. I guess it worked this weekend. I ate 5 small snack type meals and woke up this morning a pound lighter. For now, I will stick to that until I get filled again. I would love to start a bigger lunch group with our new visitors to the Champaign thread! I can usually do anyday of the week, but only from 12 to 1, so don't schedule it around me. I will come if that time works for everyone, but I don't want anyone bending over backwards to include me. Just let me know where and when. Great hearing from everyone!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
