hi, i honestly cant remember now how long i stayed on liquids..didnt think it was that long tho? maybe one of the others on here has it fresher in their minds?.it is normal whats happening with you though, your hunger does come back after a week or so and its frustrating but you have to use a bit of willpower, dont worry you will get there!..depending on how much you have to lose, it can take up to 2 years..i know we want it to fall off overnight but it is best to go slower really, your body needs to get used to it...and more than that, your head does also..i still cant get my head round these small portions and im piling a plate up to only eat about a quarter of it..i hate waste, but my dogs are loving it!

Hey Tanyac, I'm glad i'm not the only one, but your right, it's a natural thing and if your anything like me I always think about every outcome, so it's not a bad thing!!! I can't wait to hear all about how you got on!!! Please get in touch when you get back and give me every detail, I'm terrible, i just want to know everything about it, so there's no surprises!!

Gary, sounds like the ice lollies are a fab idea.....I have heard any vomitting and excess :cry_smile: alcohol can cause huge swelling around the band.....Change of drink?! :thumbup: heh....

Good luck to everyone going out tomorrow!!

Penny

hi Tanyac that would be brilliant if you could do that for me as i can bring an actual dvd player with scart lead or the portable dvd with inbuilt screen to watch films if no scart socket at back??

.......and all the best for your op and journey!

odgmodge thanks re the european adaptor info where can i get hold of them and will i need more than one say for dvd player and two phone chargers?

thanks

Hi Tanyac,

Gosh you are sooo organised. Best of luck with the op can't wait to hear all when you get back. I'm off June 11th for op on the 12th so I'm getting excited now.

Well done Fatduck for booking your op. We'll be joining the fully fledged bansters very shortly.

      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!!
