Hey guys

My surgeon said our weight loss should be 1-2kg a week, so 7kg is good! This week I'm finally getting back to enjoying the taste of Water, I lived off cordial the first few weeks just so I could get fluids in me! I started solids yesterday - yeahhhhhh! I had a glorious rissole for tea, I've been living off chicken all week so I needed a break lol. Anyway that's all I could eat then I was full lol. But I was a little bit hungry at 8pm so I had 2 clix biscuits with a little piece of cheese and it was the best! Lol!

Congrads Demon you are into the promised land lol. I too struggle with my Water intake. Especially because I have found that I can't drink anything for about an hour after eating. I have 5 days to go before I go from pureed foods to soft and it cant come quick enough.

And thanks for the continued words of support Bella as it gives us hope when we feel like it isnt working and are starting to wonder what we have done.

Hey Shell chin up hun.

I didn't have to have Protein powder, said to try source Protein from my food rather then a powder. Which I'm happy about because that stuff is expensive!

I've been having loo issues every morning. I had changed to lactose free milk, but yesterday I just used diced apricots in juice with my special k and I had no tummy rumbles! Yippee!! First time since surgery! I'm struggling to drink more then 400-500ml a day too. I'm exhausted as a result of that. So I'm back on the hydrolytes as of this week which should help.

Can I give a suggestion to Shell and Kiwijet? Have you taken a photo of yourself in just your underwear? Not a selfie, need to get someone to take it. But take it front view, side view and back view. Also take your measurements. My good friend did mine for me the week after surgery, so I'll be able to compare measurements which will help when I haven't had weight loss. We are all doing amazing, and just remember our poor bodies are going through a massive adjustment at the moment so we need to be kind to ourselves

Good idea I do have some photos like that but not recent (another failed diet)

I have never done measurements but it's a good idea my boobs have shrunk that's about it haha with regards to Protein being on purée I can't get enough Protein in I've been doing terribly with eating food during the day I manage a yogurt and a coffee I know that once I go onto solids I can back it up with some Protein Bars if needed as I'm on the road for my job breaks don't exist and I forget to eat and drink I need to get On top of it.

I have a larger incision scar (7 staples) on the bottom right hand side of my stomach where I believe my stomach was removed from. They had to cut through some muscle inside that has been stiched up. But its still a bit tender nothing bad just a dull ache sort of thing. Any ideas how long before this settles down.

My biggest incision is above my belly button and none of them hurt now. I had glue on mine so they didn't leak either but as the glue was coming off and catching on my clothes.... Ouch!

New world dilemmas. Had all the kids and grandkids around for my partners bday. So we had pizza, seven different types actually and I had to choose carefully as I could only eat one and a half pieces. No beer, no cake.

      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!!
