Cerrin . . . it would be good to have someone to go with . . . but I did make it a bit more comfortable for myself . . .I joined a Women's Fitness center . . . so i'm not QUITE as uncomfortable as I would be in a co-ed gym. My son cracked up when I told him where I joined . . . he said "don't you remember me writing a paper about how that place being sexist when I was in high school" . . . lol . . . guess I don't . . . but I like it there.

I went to the gym last night. I walked for 30 minutes. I am going back tonight to walk another 30 minutes. I will do the weights starting on the 14th along with walking. I am determined I need more then just the food to get this weight off. The people I see losing and looking good with little to no hanging skin excercised.

So I dont want all the hanging skin if I can help it so I am going to excercise.

Since the gym won't let me on the equipment until my doctor's letter gets here . . . and my swimsuit hasn't arrived yet, I've been walking at lunchtime the last couple days for 45 minutes . . . I have to keep moving too!

Hi Folks, I won't get my band until late March, in Mexico, but the patient coordinator told me to go ahead and start the pre-op diet, so as of today, I am officially on my way! I am not scared at all, just wish the surgery was sooner. I am quite committed to making this work, using the new tool as it was meant to be used, and to come out of this a much healthier, happier person.

That's great, but you're posting in the wrong area. Try reposting this in and "Introductions" thread.

      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!!
