I am attending the support meeting. It will be my second one. I am not banded. As far as the psych evaluation I see a lot of people on this site went to Dr. Lelito. Don't know his number.

I am hoping to attend as well. I have to travel for work the next day but I think I will be able to come to the group and drive to work too. We will see--I am one of the oldies of the group, not as easy as it used to be, LOL.

I went to Lelito and it went well for me.

I just tried to eat part of a hamburger, I still eat too fast when I am home alone. Just walked in from a trip and tried to wolf it down. When will I learn? I did stop before the pain though, but still had one bite too many. Ugh.

It was hamburger, but it was a little over cooked. It is truly my fault, I was not even sitting down eating, I was on the run as usual. Probably why I was fat to begin with.

I went back to Soup last night and today I just had eggs with cheese and tomatoes.

You are right though, too big and too fast. And when I cook my own burger it is not as dry, this was from a restaurant.

I am learning, slowly it seems!!!

I hope to attend the meeting this month, but my other half is having a procedure done by the Hoff, not lapband and I am not sure if I can make it, It is the same day as the meeting, but I will shoot for it...

Vicki, wow, Dr. H. is sure a busy guy-seems like everyone is seeing him the week he gets back to work!

How are you doing with the band? I went to the fair tonight, only had some battered vegetables. It sure if different without the eating, but I had fun. When my husband was alive he ate everything there, he loved it, and I would have a bite of everything he bought. No room for too many bites now, but I enjoyed myself. Spent more money on "stuff" then food.

It is good to know there is still life after the band! Just a little different focus. Have a good week, hope to meet you soon.

Hey Judy, good to here from you, i also went to the fair and your absolutely right, It was different without the food, saved alot of money, but was sure tempted. I had chicken fingers, was a little worried about the batter, but sometimes you just have to make the

"best" choice. Are you going to be at the next support meeting? let me know, I would luv to meet you...

      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!!
