Yay!!!!! Once you've got the first couple of days out of the way when, I have to be honest, I felt like death warmed up, you really do feel like you've emerged from a cocoon. The thing is, do as is suggested with your Protein, Water etc. and you will keep emerging from your fat cocoon. I am loving every step of my journey and I just hope that you do too. Let's hope that you have lost the 'scared' bit and now have just all the excitement! Believe me, the whole journey is just sooooo exciting.

I can't say that I noticed mine being any darker but the truth is I don't think I looked! Stop worrying anyway- I've only got one kidney and my body managed to cope with no problem. Don't get yourself in a lather about the exact amount of Water you are getting in, just do what you can. Relax, Rome wasn't built in a day just as a stone wasn't demolished in a day. Let your body sort out what the hell just happened to it. You'll get there but not by stressing. Now just go and enjoy the thought that this is the beginning of a new you x

The emotional side is just as satisfying as the weight is dropping off. I'm still a grumpy old git but I do walk around, especially on dog walks with a grin on my face that makes me look like the village idiot! I love wishing people who have faces liked smacked arses a cheery 'good morning' or whatever to see if I can make them crack. My dog walking pals do it too now. Great sport! I did five miles round the two Royal parks just by me the other day (no problem, easy peasy except junior dog found and ate a dead parakeet feathers and all) and managed a decent score of frozen faced humans who didn't defrost. Maybe it's my smile...........maybe they think that I am going to launch myself at them like Hannibal Lecter........... Who cares. I feel fit, happy and I'm loving wearing fun clothes. You've got all this waiting for you. Just think what you can be sliding to for the Christmas Season. Keep being excited. I am.

      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!!
