This is my first time joining a Bariatric Support group. I would LOVE to have an accountability partner. If anyone is interested. I am close to 4 years out. Have lost 115 lbs, recently regained 15-20. Don't have anyone currently to be accountable to. Want to nip this thing in the bud before it gets any worse.

Hey guys!!! It is hard to believe that we are almost there. I was looking at my calendar last night and I was like holy crap there are like 4 1/2 weeks left before surgery. I just my bloodwork done and I have to redo some of them. I had blood in my urine and start Vitamin D. Since today was easter, I over indulged big time. It was kind of like a food funeral. So weird. I have found myself thinking of all the foods that I want to eat before I start my two week liquid diet prior to surgery. This is to shrink my live. I guess my clinic requires all their patient's to do this. So really it is 2 1/2 weeks before I start preparing for surgery. I still have to go to my pre op appointments. That includes the PA, nutritionist again, and an exercise guy.

I have found myself being more motivated to get outside and going for walks. I took my poor little dog on a 2 hour hike yesterday and boy in my back and hips yelling at me today. Oh well. I was really talking to my dad about this whole surgery thing today and about my liquid diet and he was like you aren't even going to need surgery. At the end of your diet, you are going to weight 130 pounds. LOL, not quite dad...

How are you guys doing? Are you getting prepared, nervous, scared, second thoughts?

I am feeling more focused every day. Went out with my brother and we ended up at Outback for lunch, I could have splurged big time, but ended up having the grilled chicken breast, steamed vegetable's and a Caesar salad. I am already asking myself "is it worth it" food questions, Weird...... :wacko:

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
