I just wanted to say Hi. I have been reading your posts for a while. I was banded April 26, 2007 in Mexico. So far I have lost 85 pounds...with a lot more to go :eek: I am happy with my success so far and have not really had any problems. Still trying to learn to take those small bites and chew....which doesnt always happen. I am looking forward to posting and getting to know all of you. As soon as I can figure out the ticker thing I will add it.

Wowiee, Shannon!!! 85#?? That's amazing!! Way da go girl! Glad you've joined us. There can never be enough Violets!!

I'm on my way to church. Didn't lose anything when I weighed in, but I still have 2 days til Christmas. I'm gonna lose those 3# if I have to chop off an arm to do it!! Well, maybe not quite that drastic. But those 3# ARE going to be gone soon!!

Everyone have a great day. Catch you all after church.

TTFN.......

      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!!
