3 mo. post op. Still doing good. I am down about 45lbs since surgery on 2/12/18.

Still working on Protein and getting enough Water in and taking my Vitamins on time. I set an alarm for it and it worked at first but I sometimes ignore it.

No complications (knock on wood) and I feel fine.

Cravings are still close to gone. Every now and then I will get a craving but it usually passes after drinking water or a liquid.

I don't really care for sweets, including pop. I cannot believe i am saying that because I was a heavy snack food junkie.

I am getting out and enjoying the weather as much as i can. Every step counts.

I can tolerate pretty much any food that i have tried. I constantly looking for healthy recipes, as I am trying to stay away from fried and frozen foods. Drop some recipes if you know of any (that are good).

I still get kinda frustrated after being full after 3 bites, i sit there and stare at the food like really? lol

I plan on buying a bike and hitting the trail that i walk on in the morning. We shall see.

Congratulations! It sounds like you’re working it and it’s paying off!
I’m two months out. I feel surprised and frustrated sometimes when I get full so quickly, even when I’m working hard to pace myself over 30 minutes. But I keep listening to my body!
I have tons of recipes. What kind of things do you like?

      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!!
