Hi AnnyBear,

The picnic is going to be Sept 11th in Val's (Veronica) yard. You can bring anything you like...ex: hot dogs, baked chips, fruit, ice-cream :)

The only time I noticed my port was when I would lean against something and press into it too much. I would forget all about it until I looked down and see the scars then I would be like... What da hell did I do! lol.. But It was all good after some of the wieght started coming off.

Yeah, I'm probably one who cannot eat any carbs, because the first yr and a half, i ate no carbs at all and thats when i lost the most wt. but then why did i have surg. wouldnt i have lost it anyway on an Atkins like diet? i wish i could eat what i want just less of it like its suppose to be. oh well, how r u doing val, with the sleeve, can u eat without getting stuck like the band, do u just feel full like a normal stomach would, how is the wt loss since ur surg.

That place is a train wreck~~~:thumbup:

I dont think i need a fill, even though im up and down the same 7 lbs. up at this point, i cant eat anything in the am and then i eat alot of yogurt, but calorie for calorie i feel i am not overdoing the cal count, but def the carb count. even when i did Atkins i only lost 7 lbs, and as soon as i went back to south beach i gained it back...grrrrrrrr... i feel like im doing the same routine i was doing before the surgery :thumbup:

Hey vet, we lost the same amt of wt....lol

      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!!
