Hello, i started my journey in January of this year when i was told o was diabetic and pretty much on the way to the hole if i continued my ways. I was told to lose 30 pounds but i lost 51 by the day of my surgery. I started at 370 and weighed in 4 days ago at 307. I feel great being 10 days post op aside from a little sourness on my right side. Other than that...having a great time not having to work lol. Here's a before and after for yall..

On 22 days of liquid only...6 more days until my appointment to see if I go to mushy foods. Other than that, not too bad. It's a life changer so make sure you're life has changed before going into surgery. I cut sugar, carbs, and a lot of fried foods 3 months before surgery so that i wasn't in crave mode after

Definitely need to have a focused mind to remain dedicated. I have cravings from time to time, but my main problem is quantity. Even if it's salad, the quantity I can eat is fit for a king. It was always difficult to curb my hunger, so I'm relying on this surgery to slow things down hah!

Oddly enough, you WILL find that post op you won't mind the quantity- in fact, it will be hard to get it all in!

      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!!
