Hello! How are you doing at the 5 month mark? What are your stats?





I’m doing great! I was doubting a lot whether to have the surgery or not, but couldn’t be more happy right now [emoji1] It’s an adjustment for sure, but definitely for the better!

My stats are
HW 110,1 kg // 242,2 lbs
CW 81,0 kg // 178,2 lbs
GW 65,0 kg // 143,0 lbs
(Height 168cm // 5’6”)

Xx

I’m worried about not being recovered fully. I only have a month break then I go back to classes!





Thanks [emoji5] Yes, I work out 6-8 times a week, but don’t worry, that is seriously overkill. I just want to try and get my body as tight as possible (to try and prevent loose skin) and I want to get to GW as quick as possible (plus I actually LOVE working out [emoji28]).

I think a month will be enough to recover physically. For me, the only problem was that I needed a lot sleep, because my energy was low. So, you’re probably going to need some naps or a good night’s sleep to get through the day, but that’s about it [emoji1377][emoji882]

I need to be doing the same as you! My SW is 283 and GW is healthy. I originally said 183 but I think I’m going to say 160 because everyone says you bounce back up after you’re done 10lbs.

After reading this forum though I realize my GW is actually pretty high. I guess because the smelled weight I remember is 193 and I felt fine then. Is it wierd I’m worried about getting too small? Lol

Well, I didn't face any serious problems. But for me, it was a little bit complicated to do homework because I wanted just to have a rest and not to study, and I couldn't concentrate. But my professors were understandable, and I could send something a little later, after the deadline. And everyone helped me, especially my groupmates. When I was writing one paper about birth control ( it was a philosophy course, so you can understand that it was complicated), they even offered to write it for me. But as a result, a friend of mine sent me this source https://studydriver.com/birth-control-essay/ where I just read provided there birth control essay examples and managed to write my own one. And I think that was the most difficult day for me, and the rest were pretty fine. Aslo, maybe it was morally hard to go out with friends because of obvious reasons, but after two or three times, I got used to the new life.

      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!!
