Is Anyone else Absolutely Obsessed with......



Recommended Posts

This forum and everything "sleeve"? I am such a couch potato but find myself constantly researching, thinking and chatting about my upcoming surgery. I literally can't get enough of watching Youtube, reading forums and blogs and listening (Dr. Alverez podcast {obesitychat} every Monday)to everyone and everything sleeve. I feel like I'm going crazy and it's making me even more anxious for my surgery on 6/30. I tell myself every night, I am going to watch t.v. and not think about it but it's like I can't help it. I reach for my Mac instead of my remote control. I find myself even logging in here while I'm at work. smh

I hate to keep mentioning my surgery date with everything I post, does anyone know how I can add my surgery date to the information under my blank picture?

lol ziggybang or should I say Addict #2? lol

Thanks for the information. I will try it. Most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS on your 71 lb. weight loss in just 5 months. Wow. You really inspire me as I thought people who were 250+ pounds would lose so much so quickly. I am a few pounds more than your starting weight. How the heck did you manage to loss so much so quickly? I thought people under 250 would lose but lose but nowhere near that quick. There is hope for me yet!!! You go girlllll!!!

I tried your suggestion but was taken to my surgery page where I had entered all the information on the first day I signed on. Oh well, I will figure it out one day. Thanks again.

      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!!
