Put on your shoes and go for a walk! Smell the fresh air and be proud of what you are doing for yourself. Nothing like being good to yourself. Bacon smells good but it doesn't do a whole lot for your wellbeing.

Oh, isn't this awful but yet we will have to face these same things after surgery.

I had my bypass over two weeks ago.

Two days before, I went to the checkout with chicken broth and for some reason the woman in front of me had the belt loaded with pastries that were so frosty and sweet looking and the lady behind me put two half gallons of Friendly's ice cream that just set me off to get teary.

Emotions are a human thing and never be thinking you are alone with all these feelings.

Thanks so much.... I am really emotional right now.. I have family visiting who want to bring a boatload of seafood (fried) over to the house to eat!!! WHAT??? I feel like they are clueless and offer NO SUPPORT!!! Thanks for the support everyone!

I'm in the same boat (my husband and I both. 7 more days!). But be proud of yourself!!!! Be strong!!! You love yourself and your family and that's why you are doing this. Let them eat their crappy garbage food but know that you are strong and CHOOSE not to! :-) hugs!

      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.

      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!!
