Zoe, when I saw your photos I thought the exact same thing!!!!
That I looked like a tired old hooker? :( Seriously, I dyed my hair for years. But expensive salon or home bottle, it all looks cheap and fake on me, and it's way too high-maintenance. Brunette, every possible shade of red from burgundy to Ronald McDonald, highlights -- been there, done that. I have a great platinum wig, though!

hmmm...

When I get below 200 I want to get a stereo for my car. I wuv my honda, but I want a decent stereo and speakers.

When I get to 230 I'll have lost 50 lbs, which is a mini goal, but I think I'll be so happy to be there after my recent plateau that it will be it's own reward!

After 200 is 165, because that's the weight I was when I was weighed every day be my dad when he made me diet in Jr. High. I think at this point... maybe I'll go visit him and the rest of my family in CO. They haven't seen me since I had my surgery, and money is tight so it'll be a while before I'm able to head out that way anyway. My sister is supposed to get married in April of next year... it'd be REALLY REALLY cool if I could be there by then. (because I'll be there for the wedding family will see me no matter what I'm at by then :()

Major goal is 140. Honestly I think I'd be happy at 160 or 165, but I'd really love to get to 140 just once to say that I was half the woman I was before. And at this point, I'm going to go get my teeth done. They are in really horrible shape and I want to have some dentist evaluate me, tell me how much it's going to cost so I can save up the money and then knock me out and do it ALL AT ONCE!

And maybe I'll throw in some laser eye surgery at some point... lol

Of course, quite a few of these things were things I wanted anyway that I'm not turning into rewards for the future...

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
