Hey guys went for my first walk today since having my meds. I thought I'd do a lap of the lake, which is 1.25k, and if my legs were going well I would do a 2nd. Well I got to about the 1k mark and had a huge fall, doc sent me off for X-rays but they came back clear just a bad sprain on my wrist and bruised and grazed knees. I tell ya what, all I could think was imagine how much more it would have hurt back when I was 28kg heavier! Lol!

Oh no lucky nothing was broken it's very scary when you have a fall I hope it doesn't out you off maybe leave it a bit

I too have been out walking can't say I love it but it's necessary also done some time on the treadmill.

I'll go back again, knees aren't really that sore just my wrists killing me. Doc said I'm to go back on Friday if no improvement as they will then do an ultrasound to check for a fracture. Couldn't see any but she said that can be because of the swelling.

Hello everyone ,

And thank you Leanne for starting this group .

I have my surgery on 29th of July and sooooo nervous .

Rest easy Sharon some people dont have staples and are glued back together - funny hey. But if like ne you have staples then it really is an easy job they are designed to come out easily and I suffered no pain at all and if you still have trouble believing me then let me say getting teeth cleaned is ten times worse. In fact although daunting I am confident that you will look back when its all done and think that was ALOT easier than I thought it would be. Its just hard to believe that before hand Goodluck.

Hi Shell, getting ready for a six hour drive to have a look at buying a house in a small city called Mildura.

Ive had a bad week as far as eating properly goes but Im still losing weight. Although at a lot slower rate now. But I am either nauseous from overeating or feeling hungry cos its been over two hours since I last ate. I hope this is only whilst I am losing weight.

I hope i dont end up regretting this. On the plus side im down in weight and still going.

      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!!
