I had tried posting more...didn't work. I know you have to have a subject that others find interesting and I guess I got really discouraged when I announced I had my surgery date and nada.

How are you and your wife doing?

Sheree,

i've checked out your other posts and there have been replies to all of them. not sure where you are looking for replies, but they are there. :)

Chickie, I think you have a few more fans on this board than you think. You and Puddin are my inspiration. Seeing both of your before and after pics gives me hope that I can achieve my goal. It got me up off the couch and running and out of the house on my bike. I have been working my butt off to get to where you guys are. You had such an amazing transformation and seeing the pictures and reading the stories I know I can be there too some day.

I survived on apple juice and chic broth the first weeks. Boy, the next 2 weeks cream Soups tasted so good. Where r u getting the surgery done? I'm excited for you. I'm a slow loser, I had the surgery in Mexico in Nov 06. I'm only down 30 lbs but I'm fine with that. Good Luck to you . Keep us posted.................Kelley

I think a lot of the new threads are being pushed down the board too quickly by the regular "chat" threads (i.e. Banded Bikers, Bootcamp, Twoterville and Onederland, Gay & Lesbian, etc.). Maybe there needs to be a place for these groups to talk regularly. I know they started as regular threads at one time, but now they've taken over the first page of the support page. JHMO.

Derbygirl,

I'd actually had the same thought and think it's a great suggestion that would benefit all (including those on group chat trying to find their threads). Would you feel like raising the point to a moderator?

We know you and for the right reasons - you are one of us!!!!!!

Congrats on the surgery date, learn all you can from the experienced ones and then make up your mind to just do it!

The band doesn't cure us from our weight related issues, but I sure wouldn't want to lose mine!

Later,

I'm skipping 2 pages of posts just to say.........

HELLO THERE! I mainly post on the shrinking violets thread in the general discussion boards........ COME ON OVER WE ARE A BUNCH OF BIGMOUTHS! LOL

I think the main this is to just jump in and post....... I will admit that before surgery I DEVOURED each and every thread, and now that I'm IN IT I don't as much....

I just had my first fill on Monday June 4, so thats where I am in my journey...

and CHICKIE.................. I do like your posts and your pics are SOOOOO inspirational, but I don't like exercise, BUT I KNOW I WILL LEARN TO LIKE IT EVENTUALLY LOL

My advice to all people in this same situation.. is just to POST, POST, POST!

      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!!
