Finally hit the gym and feel great. How is everyone else doing?

It feels so good to be moving. But man! I am out of shape!
I'm trying to go back today but I'm nervous because I also had a hernia repair. Afraid of over doing it.

Has anyone had any stalls last week and this week? I have been fluctuating between 236-234! Start wt was 260.

This is my first week where I have stalled and I feel so sleepy and nothing is working right.

Having trouble drinking Water... it gets stuck and hurts going down. I have only been able to get 1 Protein shake down a day.

The only thing that settles is cheese so now I'm scared I'm going to constipated myself.

I keep reminding myslef. ... each day is a new day.

My doctor warned me that after about 5 to 6 weeks my hiatal hernia repair would bother me again because it eventual firms up and then it's hard to swallow things. It's week 7 for me and it happened exactly like he said. It's just finishing up healing.

Excellent news then, you're progressing well!

A few days ago, I had to lay flat onto a table to have a body scan. Before that day I had been obsessing about GERDS and getting worked up like I do when I let my anxieties take over. So I thought for sure I'd lie down and all this Fluid would come gushing up my throat because I had been drinking Water in the lobby.

NOTHING happened. =) My LES was closed tightly. The scan took about 13 minutes so if it was going to happen I was thinking it should have. I could even feel blood rushing to my face, that is how flat I was.

I had a hernia repair as well, so I think we have both come out of it nicely! Perhaps what I was feeling was my repair, not only did I require a repair, but scar tissue from a previous banding had to be cut off and that has been healing.

Silly me. Praise GOD!

      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!!
