Every bite or sip you may a choice. Will that choice be to be healthy or will hat choice be to stay as you were. Don't let outside influences choose for you. You are in control. It is your choice. Make the right one.

i have to give it to you straight. What you're doing is very dangerous . You can end up in a hospital for months because of a leak, you could die. Its a very real thing not a game to test out. If you weren't ready to give up crap food you should have never had surgery. I know it's hard ok, I know but you have to be strong. Don't baby yourself. don't even buy crap food anymore, you dont need that temptation. If someone else is buying it, have a serious talk with them. Your life is on the line here, the surgery is done. It's time to get serious

Yes, well, after my major screw up I got very serious. I got my drain taken out Wednesday and also talked to my doctor. I am doing much better and I'm proud of myself.

Go straight to your nut and tell him or her your sins. The diet for the most part is straight forward and not that hard. Eating crap can do you in.

Hey I just came back from my college orientation a few days ago. And I cheated. I found foods that did work for me though, but that dosent mean I should. I wished I didn't, but I literally had nothing else too. I ate the cheese off of pizza. I had roasted potatoes with meat, which bothered me some. And two things that didn't bother we're pop chips and welches gummies. But I'm going to get back on track. I did realize that going to school with my new sleeve was going to be a lil harder than I thought! But your not in this alone. And if you ever want to talk I'm here. And I had my surgery done on the 16th.

      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!!
