See, Dini, thats why I forgot you. It's Lynette's fault...:( How could I forget my friend from Ireland when I am a good bit Irish myself...tell me, do you really spend as much time in pubs as is rumored...:biggrin1: My Irish side of the family has always liked its liquor. That was one of the first questions I asked my doc...can I drink after this surgery.. Sure thing, he said. btw, I like how you bolded everyones name. I think I am going to steal the idea...

What a long list. Thanks for doing this Laurend. Add my stats - 5'8 and 280. I sure wish more of these folks on the list would join and and post.

BreadLady..how are you doing? Are the drugs good? Can't wait to hear from you.

Lynette, he said most docs undertreat sinus infections and that it usually takes about 3 wks to really get rid of it. Especially with someone like me who get recurrent infections. The bummer is that I cannot have the surgery until I finish the HORSE pills.< /span> I would think your doc would want to treat now so you would be healthy for surgery. I'm sorry you had trouble. I know how bad you feel. I have been there in the past. But that z pak will start working quickly.

Sunshine i'm all for blaming Lynette!!!!!

The Irish do like to drink indeed but because both my parents are Italian i gew up the Italian way of thinking and living. Therefore I do enjoy an odd glass of wine but other than that i do not drink, where has Irish people through and though (not all) drink a lot. Particularly younger people teens and twenties have a major problem with there drink. i was brought up being allowed to have a glass of wine at dinner and parties but Irish kids in general are not allowed to drink till there 18 then its like they can't help thereselves. the legal age to drink in Ireland is 18. its 21 in the States isn't it

Was that too much info????

Okay, here's the spreadsheet so far. I saved it to Word to make it easier to post here. Ignore the #DIV/0!, it's just where I went ahead and made the equation for those cells, so that I can just type in the height and weight and get a BMI result. I plan on making columns for every week, if that's okay with everyone, so that we can see how our weights and BMIs change from week to week.

With the way it's calculating, Indiogirl55, it calculated your BMI as 42.05. If I lower your height to 5'3", your BMI comes out at 43.4

      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!!
