Recommended Posts

i'm so sorry for your lost and my prayers are with you and your family.

me on the other hand did find comfort in food lately but, i have to stop that now. and as i said before im trying to find my way home. didn't know it was so easy to fall off the wagon. and so hard to get to get back on track. but, i have to do it.

today 11/30

junk das all:frown::confused:

Good Day Everyone,

I've been out of sorts. I too have lost some one this month. My Grandmother past way couple of weeks ago, she was 93, life was good to her but it's taken more out of me then I thought it would.

I've been doing my best to keep my food under control but after being with my mom for the past few weeks I’ve found that she loves to eat bread and fried food in just about all of her meals.

I told her that if we eat out together and share (like we usually do since I don't eat a lot anymore) that there needs to be more Protein and non-fried things.

She understands and has been working w/me on it.

I had another fill at the beginning of the month so I'm still getting used to it.

I used to read some of your posts and couldn't understand why you were eating such little portions. Now I understand with my new fill, I really understand.

I'm trying hard to listen to my body again on when I'm comfortably full and not taking that last bit just because it’s still on the plate.

I will try in the next few weeks to start posting again. I need to post, I need to share, I need all of you!

You can drink Orange Juice? when I DO its horrible (uncomfortable) so even though dr and dieticican said OK,,,I stay away...had some when making my cranberry sauce and felt it. It is OK for me to cook with it but NOT drinking.

Not a very good day yesterday...

B- Almost all of a nutrigrain raspberry bar.

L- strawberry Uncrustable (it's essentially a PBandJ). Stomach rejected it. Later when I felt better I had a string cheese.< /p>

S- Medium pear.

D- some Protein packed frozen dinner. Stomach rejected it, ate too fast, whatever the reason it came back up.

Here's hoping today will be better.

      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.
