Thank you! I did have a picture of myself from the day I started liquid, so 22 pounds ago. It's just my face and my torso....my god. I can see the difference now!

I just had mashed potatoes and ate them waaaay too fast. I ended up getting painful hiccups and back pain; I had to lay down. So I guess cottage cheese is easy but not potatoes!

I just had the best thing I have tasted in weeks! It's not something I will have on a regular basis and I would only eat a half cup but damn!

I got some lobster bisque from Zoup, chewed the little bits of meat really well. It was SO good. Of course my husband told me I couldn't have it, I told him I know it's high in fat but I just want one thing that actually tastes wonderful once in a while.

Other than that I haven't cheated at all since surgery 7 days ago.

Last night he took my pictures for me. I hate them!

Today I actually put on a shirt that I had to stop wearing. It actually fit. My fat roll under my bra is gone, my arms don't look like they are about to break the shirt open. My lower belly pooch is a lot smaller. Last time I wore it, the bottom kept rolling up and I had to wear a sweater over it with the bottom buttoned so people didn't see my skin.

It's nice to see the difference!!!

Well done and keep up the good work. I'm so glad you're enjoying feeling the difference.

Thank you!

I started using my fitness pal, it's really an awesome tool. So easy, and you can see right there how much Protein you have had as you go through your day.

I'm feeling so much better today! I actually have energy! I wrote and edited my story for about three hours and now I'm taking a nap. :)

You sound great and I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better. Thanks for sharing all facets of this process, the good as well as the distressing. You and many others do all of us a great service with your generosity.

I've been avoiding the kitchen when my husband makes dinner. Tonight my daughter was having a my down right before dinner so I got to see the amazing ham, cheese bread and Pasta. It smelled so good.

I seriously thought about getting a meat grinder so I could have some ham. I miss meat. I don't like being a vegetarian at all.

I seriously almost cried and went in my room. I just want to share a nice dinner with my family again.

Yesterday I took my daughter to McDonalds. It smelled disgusting. The only thing I could have was milk and Water. So I got Water. I watched her eat her Happy Meal and I didn't even want a bite.

I'm thankful that she is so thin and has such good eating habits so I don't feel bad about her having a burger and fries here and there.

I hardly lost any weight the last two days. But all

today I keep feeling areas of my body that feel much thinner. Maybe I'm just now catching up but I swear I feel like I lost five pounds in two days.

I lost another pound! I put on a T short I bought when I was about 8 pounds lighter than this. It looks great! I stopped wearing it because of my fat rolls. My stomach looks so much better.

I went to the surgeon and my BP and my heart rate are finally normal. Also my surgeon is very handsome. Glad I didn't notice this earlier but don't know how I did. He saw me naked. Lol.

      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!!
