After I got past day 3 things got so much easier emotionally. I am on day 9/14 and I still get a few temptations and cravings but it is easier to turn them away. I do miss chewing though.

Yesterday was my husband's birthday. I am admitting that I had a small amount of food with the family when we went out last night. But, I'm acknowledging that I didn't like how I felt after and we have less than a week now! We're into the homestretch. So, I'm back to my Clear liquids today.I hope it's a great day for everyone!

@@lauraaza I promise, it gets so much easier. My diet is liquids only and I was having a hard time the first few days. Last night I was actually surprised that I couldn't even finish my Soup for dinner!! I threw half of it out! Im actually thankful that they require this preop diet as I feel it has helped to prep me for after surgery. It's put me in a better head space already where Im not thinking about food so much, more about the things I can do and need to get done!! Only 3 more days for me!! I can't wait!!

@@Photo925 Thank you for the encouragement!

I had to take a nap yesterday just to stop thinking of my hunger. When I woke up, I made my small dinner and dinner for my family. I ate very slow and practiced chewing 20 times. I'm used eating fast and shoveling my food. I was still very hungry after my meal. Today is day two...

Today is my 1st day of my preop diet. I can have 1 Protein shake for breakfast and one for lunch. 3oz lean meat and non-starchy veggies for dinner. I am soooo hungry!! My surgery is on June 20th. This preop diet is gonna be so hard with all the food around the house for my four kids and hubby.

Does it get easier?

Day 12 for me and I am getting very nervous. I'm not that thrilled with the after surgery care they outlined for me but don't want to start over. Basically I was told that I won't see my surgeon again after the hospital stay unless there is an issue. They neglected to mention when I started all this that the follow up appts are all group or nurse visits. I am really craving a banana. (How's that for a non sequiter?)

I was on one week with 1 Protein shake and two small meals of fish, chicken or turkey and a cup of veggies. This week is all liquid. Three Protein shakes and Water, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles, Decaf tea and coffee. My surgery is June 16th. I'm on day two of liquids and I'm hungry but hanging in there so far :)

Day 3 of preop diet. I couldn't wait for my small meal. Im eating very slow and small bites. Which is very different for me. Im used to shoveling food in my mouth and barely chewing. I'm drinking Water all day to keep my mouth busy. I can hear my pantry calling me! Ugh!

      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!!
