Stall is broken, down to 350.2 this morning.. Also, I think the small bowls, small fork/spoon procedure has helped me.. I'm manage the intake much better now.. Now if I can get this low level irritation under control...

Well one of my biggest fears has come true I have regained some of the weight I lost but thank god it is not much. I think what I need to do is to reevaluate what and when I am eating and rearrange things. The bad thing is I am going to be seeing my surgeon tomorrow and it might be more weight than I think.

I have been told to wait 30 minutes before and after meals before I drink and I only drink calorie free drinks. My problem is that I still eat later in the evening when it is 10 pm or later. My justification is that I still need Protein and I have found one form of food that is low in calories and high in protein. Thank god my parents are such health nuts.

Yes! Thank you. They just started to kick in today. Hopefully by tomorrow they'll be in full flow. I feel so much better and can get my fluids in. Even took the kids to Legoland today. It's made me very nervous to go onto soft foods but I'll try tomorrow ????

good to hear. I'm still trying to get my mind and stomach to agree on limits, and it's a tough conversation. The stomach has a lot more influence these days..

I've just snuck in under 200 at 199! Total loss of 39lb. Aren't we good little bariatric patients?!

Although I saw my NUT yesterday and they are concerned I'm losing too quickly?... Interesting. Still got to get the Protein up. My NUT is not a big fan of adding Protein Powder and I'm supposed to get it nutritionally through foods. Interested what others experienced are.

Well done all of us! 2 months down. Wow

      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!!
