I started picking up my one year old today and I feel fine. I held out as long as I could with my mom flying in to help and my ex husband helping this weekend but now we are on our own. Kinda dreading tonite because being by myself in the evening is when I miss food the most.

My advice is sugar free freeze pops, taste really bad for you but are just frozen fluids, I started them yesterday and they taste so sweet and flavorful but they are also good for me, cravings just go away

Be careful when picking up the baby. I know you don't have an option...but take it easy when you have to. ????. And just remember, you're not alone! You have made it 11 days! I remember when I was like 2 days out and think what the heck did I do...? But now I'm a month. Still have those moments, but when I do, I force myself to find something else to do. Like checking out bariatric pal. You can even word search topics, and see what other people had to say when they were feeling a certain way. Like for me... I'm a month out. I get regretful and depressed more often than I'd like to admit... So I'll search for those topics and read others advice, or post a new topic of my own. It helps me to feel grounded and keep on going. Just like you will do. One day at at time. You've got this!

      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!!
