I have already had my 1 year anniversary, having lost just over 100 lbs. I had the full gastric bypass. I hope you all have a good outcome with your surgery, no, I'm not saying I had a bad experience...I'm just wishing you all good luck. Your body will go through a lot of changes. Your taste buds go through a change, things may taste different, and things you use to like, you may not like them anymore. It really changes your whole body chemistry. I found that out the hard way. Also, (not saying this will happen to you) I have a problem that causes me to be able to eat something I like and I will be ok. However, I can eat the same thing another time and it may upset my stomach. Strange, I know, but I have no idea what is causing it. And, you really do need to drink the amount of Water they say. I have worked out too. My insurance actually provided me with a workout video that I could do at home, and yes, it has worked on me. However, I still have sagging skin, and now have to try to get my insurance to get the excess skin taken in. I have to have a doctor referral. I pray this doesn't happen to any of you. You can only tone up but so much by exercising.

      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!!
