lol so it appears!

I am privy to what your refer. Generally yawn-worthy!

How's the weight loss going? I have lost and gained the same two pounds about 5 times this month.

The fact I ate 8 chocolate eclair sweets on Tuesday evening and followed it up with 10 chocolate eclair sweets tonight.

I am bad. I feel ashamed. Bloody period!

You also missed my poo infusion...just got home. Easy peasy. Just rolled over on my side, took a little nap and woke up with new poo. Only took about 1/2 hour! Been on Clear Liquids for 2 days, so afterwards drove to the closest fast food place and devoured the innards of an Arby's ham and cheese. Chew schmoo...

Good Lord, lady. If you tell me these things, then I WANT these things.

The weight loss is terribly slow! I had the 6 month check up yesterday and his scale weighed me MORE than mine at home! I was hoping mine was wrong, but to my benefit...ya know?

I live in NY. The weather is turning now, maybe I should be out there walking...or something?!

I think we're brothas from anotha mutha.. 'cause I'm the same. I haven't had my six month check up. I'm scared of it.

I have this feeling he's going to say 'lower your calories to half a glass of fresh air per day'...

He won't like it if he knew I'm just about to eat some pork, because I'm starving - at 1am. I didn't eat enough Protein today which is why I ate the sweets. That and my unwarranted time of the month. I'm supposed to not have 'times of the month', but tablets or not, they still turn up! ARRRGH!

I need to try harder. I really must, or this thing is gonna be a bust :(

I wonder if there's a difference - green vs yellow boogers? How about just white or clear snot???

Seriously, someone needs to be studying this.

Hate to tell you this, but it has been. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and manage clinical trial databases. I've collected data on sputum which includes a description...color, clarity, etc. Yes....ma'am...it's been done already. :rolleyes:

I'm going to tell you something, do not dispute this, you are scared.

You're smart, articulate, and well liked, and you're terrified like the all of us.

The dr. Was pleased at my 6 month and yours will be, too. Expectations vs. reality. Our heads tell us it should be more loss, but reality is we are right on track. Do not doubt it!

My weight went up and down and sideways with no forward progress for OVER A MONTH. Talk about scared!

But, it started to budge a little. When I asked the dr. If it's almost over, he laughed...and assured me that it is not!,

Hold my hand, we will move forward. And if we fail, just remember this.....

"You can ALWAYS get skinny, but ya can't get pretty..."

Lucky us.

lol Oh, of course I'm scared! (in a kid caught with her hand in the cookie-jar kinda way). I don't want to have to face the consequences of my shoveling down a truck load of toffee encased chocolate and the likelihood that he'll tell me to lower my calories! Huzzah!

Terrified? No. As with most things, it's all relative. Loneliness is the only thing on the planet that terrifies me. Truly.

I can man-up and take on my responsibilities better than most. If i have to swallow shed loads of Protein shakes to get there, I will. <URGHHH!>

I know we're alright. I mean, how can we not be?

We're bloody fabulous! ;) x

I'm terrified. I'm terrified that if this doesn't work, I will hurt someone and that someone will likely be my husband, so then I will be alone!

See what I did there?

I quit smoking in order to have this surgery. I think I spend more time missing cigs than I do missing food. I feel like a gave up EVERYTHING.

I need a huge reward for being so amazing. I'm going to get that reward come hell or high water!

Ps: I no longer have that time of the month! Maybe that's my reward!

Ouch. That hurt. I was not a casual smoker either! I'm talking 35 years, hard core smoking! I miss it.

I kind of always suspected, though, that I would eat sweets JUST so I could follow it up with a cig! Logically, because I don't smoke now, I don't seek sweets!

Weird

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.
