Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / ??? lbs (last weigh in 115.0 lbs on Dec 18th)

----------------------------------------
NYE was a low key house party at a friend's house and I was fully prepared for a calorie and carb overload last night, so I did not disappoint...LOLzzz:

...and yes, there was still pecan pie in the fridge which we dove into when we got home.
...and yes, i dumped. I knew it was going to happen soon after I finished my late-night pecan pie. Since I was pretty tipsy the death feelings were short lived as I pretty much passed out after the bathroom portion of the dumping. Mr. was sober enough to carry me upstairs and put me in bed. Unfortunately he did not wipe off my makeup so I LOOKED like death this morning. (Note to self: someday teach Mr. how to do my nightly face cleansing routine....)

Wednesday Jan 2
28 months PO / 5'2" / last weight 175
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't go on the scale past 3 days because I typically gain 2-3 lbs before my period, which is due in 3 days. It goes down after a few days. I decided I rather not see it.
I haven't been sleeping well this week and I didn't meal prep well, which led to me snacking and eating higher cals....

Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 109 lbs

----------------------------------------
Finally got on the scale properly for first time PO.
Down 6 lbs since morning of surgery. And I think it is mostly muscle loss, so not really good news. Though I did have a massive poop last night so there is that. Anyway. On the bright side, we got a belated Xmas gift platter of nuts that we enjoyed while watching "Get Smart" starring Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway last night. That movie is funny 😂

I'm a little late to diving into this thread. I'd like to try some of these meals but not all have the recipes listed. Also searched here on the BP site but didn't seem to find a good thread posting recipes. Maybe I just didn't look in the right place. Any thoughts on where to look, either on this site or maybe another site?

Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 111.9 lbs

----------------------------------------
lunch was at a new fancy Japanese restaurant that recently opened near our place, and then later we went out to dinner with Mr. & friends
. I was really happy to be able to go out and about, after being stuck at home for the past 2.5 weeks (well, except for our annual 3-day xmas-party bender, but those parties were with famlly at various homes...so they don't count, LOL) Got nice and drunk at dinner and ate my fill of both regular and sugar-free Desserts. My current low-ish weight sort of made me feel I had carte-blanche to eat whatever, but at the end of the day I didn't even rack up as much cals as I thought I would...may or may not not be a good thing....

Thanks @ms.sss! Also, I just now saw that there is a recipes section in the Baritastic app that's probably worth looking at.

      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!!
