Update: almost done with day 6. Still have a Protein Shake to go. Currently trying to finish my yogurt. I froze it for a texture change which has helped a lot

Confession Time: I haven’t second guessed myself, still not doing so, but I have to confess that in the back of my mind I felt like I would get this surgery and still not be healthy. It was a very negative and very sad thought. I questioned how would this time be any different from the other times that I ate right, exercised like crazy, only to lose a little weight and gain back even more no matter how healthy my diet or exercise regimen. Still I was decided on doing this surgery, I have to try right. Well now I’ve been bit with the positivity bug from all of the well wishes and encouragement that all of you and even my whole medical team instills in me. It finally hit me today that this time, it actually will be different. How do I know? My determination to get healthier, my complete and utter commitment to this process, liquid diet and all. I just cannot fail. So to anyone who is second guessing or feeling like this isn’t going to work. Banish the thought. We’ve got this 😉

Thanks ALFxRnY that perks me up also. Having,a small flare of the Concrete Poop Wars and a nasty,little voice in the back,of my mind, "you,know if you'd go back,to eating nice big portions of food, you wouldn't have this,problem. You,never used to! " Got to keep stuffing Fluffy Frustr8 voice down where she can't say anything, but she is right. But I want to do the right,thing, I can't surrender when,i am this close to my war being,over. We would be still fighting World War II if someone had rolled the Enola, Gay back,into,the hanger and they had never,bombed Japan. Shoot I could be speaking Japanese,or German, if things don't settle better I might start having to speak Arabic, always thought if it was going to be a Middle Eastern language it would be Hebrew instead.
Thanks for being there to tell me to keep the faith!

You’re welcome! We all need the reminder sometimes. And I’ve had the same problem. Milk of magnesia helps with that 😉

      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!!
