Just received my surgery date today! 2/22! Putting through insurance next week! Excited but all of a sudden nervous! Anxious about the insurance approval, the surgery itself, and life afterwards but my excitement certainly outweighs the worries. Would be great to find a few people going through it around the same time! ????

I'M WITH YA!! My date is Feb 10th - here goes nothin....

Yeah, still my excitement far outweighs my worries, that might change a bit in the coming weeks. I just came back from the gym after work, 40 min on treadmill and a buncha abdominals. Boy feels pretty good. I was 252 today, my highest has been 305lbs. I really want to go into surgery with a strong exercise routine going.

Ready or not we're going soon! How damn exciting, the best, pedro

Yeah it'll be helpful knowing you're going through it too. I will be out of work from the 10th to the 23rd going back to teach school on that Monday Feb 23rd (?), I'm a little worried about that but I can stay seated all day. This should be one heck of an adventure, I'll keep you posted

You guys, it's true, I need to stay in touch especially because hardly anyone in my little world will know. No one I work with, and only 3 family members. Yup, you guys, very very exciting. Yes, I do get a little nervous sometimes hearing the stories of follow up operations, gall bladder stuff, people's various discomforts, but I know I didn't sign on here for a cakewalk. That's why the next 25 days I want to hit the gym and walk as much as possible to go in as light and as toned as possible (chuckle, light and toned..), plus I will move heaven and earth to MAKE myself walk down those hospital hallways asap. We CAN and WILL do this thing!!! todo bien

I am right behind you with a March 3rd date. I hope I can sit at the cool kids table with you guys during this. I just finished my psych evaluation, had my first appointment with the dietitian. I am just waiting on some insurance stuff to go through, but all is looking good. It is all I can think about. I am keeping pretty quiet about it. I have not told social media yet, I am thinking about doing a video blog of the process. I am looking forward to hearing about your pre and post op's. Hoping this finds you well.

      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!!
