Sitting at the beach, it's a beautiful day, 70's and not a cloud in the sky! Just sitting here thinking about how great I feel at 4 weeks out. This was absolutely the best decision for me! Loving my life right now!

Thanks for the inspiration!!! Just what I needed today. I am 3 days out from surgery and on my pre op liquid diet. Hope makes this process much easier to cope!

It gets so much easier!! The first couple weeks are rough but after that it's amazing! I wish I didn't wait until I was 44 to get this done. I feel amazing... body and mind!

Very inspirational and so true. It gets better and better, and you no longer feel like your just an observer, watching your life go by, but like you are truly living and being an active participant in your life! A wonderful decision indeed!

Thank you for this! So nervous 5 days preop. Glad you are feeling great and what an amazing view!

I don't just feel great... I feel amazing! I have never regretted this for a second! I am 6 weeks out and never had any issues and I'm 40 pounds lighter! You will do great!

I'm feeling so blah and major regret 1 week and 2 days out. I'm hungry, have heartburn, and still exhausted. Still pulling pain pretty bad. I know you said first few weeks were rough but now ur feeling great. When was the turning point and what was rough for you? Trying to cope with my decision. Thank u!! Revisited you post cause it made me feel better and look to the future.

      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!!
