Yes Ma’am! Thick, hearty, filling, nutritious, delicious all come to mind. My sauce had green Beans and Brussels, garlic and onion powder, celantro leaves, but veggies were super fall apart tender so Kids hardly felt them. Kids lapped it up with real Spagetti, while I did Zucchini spagetti spirals and I felt like I was just having another dinner. Kids also could not tell meatballs were no meat! [emoji50][emoji1]
Oh my that looks scrumptious delicious!

Had a follow up Friday and I'm finally released to go back on my RA meds and to get into the pool again. So excited for the pool! Ready to get back on my meds because these latest weather changes have been rough on me and extremely painful.

Hope everyone is doing great!

I have lost 37 pounds since the end of July. 15 on my 4+week liver-shrinking diet, 22 since my surgery day Sept 5 2018. Just think how much more I would lose if I could get back on the Defecation Daily Scheme! 💩

I don’t know about that! I’ve been in a stall for like a week. Constipation but finally I’m going again. Did generic colace each night. Now I think I’ll do it every other night. I’ve also started trying things that “feel right.” I heard a surgeon say that my body is infinitely smarter than my doctor so I started trusting my body more. I’ve seen improvements since. I am just learning very slowly how much and how slowly to eat and what to eat. Lost 30lbs in a month and only about 1lb in a week lol. My husband reminded me slow is better anyway. Introducing more rigorous exercise will be next once I’m consuming more than 150 calories! I struggle constantly to get Protein and Water and I never reach goals but I’m doing my best and that is enough! When I struggle, I am inspired by you! You are hangin tough and so I know I can too!

Well thank you, that helps on my Nasty what next day. Woke up nauseous, remember I'm 72, better look for Star in the Eastn hubby died 6 years and 2 months ago and no 9be has asked me to Mattress Man no. A slightly sore throat and stuffy nose, forgot my Zyrtec at bedtime, so popped one this morning. I don't sleep that well or for l9ng periods so next dose won't be affected. See surgeon Tuesday suppose I should be making a list of intake for him for 3 days? Been pretty sad, I am bored with my liquid diet, shakes, have varied with flavors, got a box of Bariatric Pal ones, prepakaged one seem so sweet Bone broths, vegan broth from Wal-Mart, now that does taste good. Strained cream Soups, I tried to puree veggies into it, Precious would have none of That. Varied waters, tra la la la! In the meantime Precious Pouch is the Empress of the🌏 world.

And now Summer has put away the shorts, halters, and folding chairs, and I can only pray we are all healing and on our way to a Bright New Future . It was quite a season, a season of change for us all, now Autumn will have its own group of people seeking and finding their own Weight Loss answers, and we are now the Veterans they will ask advice from. Pretty Heady, isn't it?

      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!!
