Cinco de mayo ... what the ... ? Doesn't mean much to an Aussie, even if her mum was born in Mexico. :confused2:

Since my last fill I'm so tight I can barely drink Water. I am going to keep this though and make sure I get the Protein drink in Water. The Protein Drink in a can won't stay down. I know, I'm loony. Maybe I can kickstart a better loss. Seems like I'm down to 1 pound a week. I need this challenge!!

Ok, I am always the one with the lowest goal. I guess it's better mentally for me to set a lower goal and get there then to set a high goal and feel like i failed. Anyway, I did set this goal higher than I usually do for the amount of weeks in the challenge. Ha, this fresh fill must have me optimistic.

Good Luck everybody!

Thank you! It sure feels good to be able to be "present" for my son and wrestle and play. And then there is the fact that I can actually get around and do things! I love my motility now. (no this is not a power chair commercial) LOL. I just go and do! I can not believe how much better I feel. My wife is just amazed at how fast I am losing weight... she likes the new me I am turning in to. I am now lighter now than I have been in the 8 plus years we have been married! What I am going to like is the point when I drop below 275. That is what I was when I met "Love". I showed her a picture of me in 9th grade. It was a candid full profile (head to toe) and I was 210 then. That is my ultimate goal. It may take a while to get there from 400, but it is just coming off one day at a time. I can't worry about tomorrow and I can't beat myself up for decisions I made yesterday. I look forward to weigh in every Wednesday and the ladies at the bariatric center are just amazed at my progress. One of them had the band placed this past summer and she is just blown away at how fast it is coming off me.

Well, I have to study for a BIG test tomorrow.

Hi Peaches, You found us. Great!

TXArcher: I know just what you mean, it is truly amazing to feel like this.

My husband sees my "rear" view more often than I, and he continues to tell me how much my "cottage cheese butt" is going down! Small Curd is what he tells me it is now. LOL Good thing I have a good sense of humor and don;t take those comments too seriously. Overweight people develop a thick skin anyway and I know he doesn't mean anything in a bad way. He is very supportive, like your wife. Lucky us!

      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.
