Ahhhh....I can now go to bed and know that when I get up in the morning I am still going to be able to speak with my family. I seriously was going through withdrawls. I think I was able to give up fatty fried food easier than I was able to live with out you guys. I guess that is a good transfer addiction!!!

ALright I have got to go to bed but I did PM Alex. Janet I hope you get some food quickly. I would die if I ate this late. I eat at 6:30, 9, 11:30, 2:30 and 5:30. The 9 am feeding is new thanks to the nutritionist. At 6 I feel like I have died if I haven't eaten!.

Hey ya'll!

I had my first session w/my trainer and it was great!!! She is wonderful. I hung in there pretty good. She even said "You don't look 248...You're just a solid, muscular girl...you have a lot of endurance..." Just compliments all over the place! She was very encouraging.

I was so psyched about this and can't wait to go tomorrow. Yeah, I'm sore a bit, :tt2: but I know it's worth it.

I'm faithfully wearing my BodyBugg and keeping track of my eating/exercise. I'm back on track ladies!!! :thumbup:

Hope everyone else finds our new temporary thread. I'll PM Alex, too.

Gnite gang!

Ok got the dogs fed - GS went to taco bell - I have my fish cooking...

I haven't been too good with Breakfast lately - I need to go to the store - today one of my insured asked me to lunch - I had never met her before just talked on the phone for 5 yrs - She doesn't know I am banded she was the first person who I have eaten with who didn't know - it was weird cuz I was eating so slow - she didn't notice as she ate 2 soft tacos and I ate 1/2 of the taco a few bites of the Beans - So for you who haven't told - I could see how it's hard - all my freinds know so when i stop they all look at me are you ok - ya I'ms just a little stuck :tt2:

I can't say I eat on a time schedule - Breakfast when ever - usually around 9 ish - always noon for lunch on the weekdays - dinner is usually 7:30 - 8 p.m. most nights - Weekend are when ever I am hungry - I ususally don't eat breakfast on the weekend - cuz I am out and about - usually just dinner and evening Snacks..

If I ate at 6 p.m. I would be hungry or looking for food from head hunger by 8 - As peaches indicated (i don't know if it was here or 50 thread) that the night she had fish she was hungry a couple hours later... It's not just that it's my whole nite time eating thing - I know when my demon hours are so I just fix it so that I can feed those demons during the hours that the want to be fed and stay within my calories for the day..

Today all I have had was that 1/2 taco and 1/2 Beans - I had a dentist appt after work - got my new bridge it feels good.. Expensive but you gotta have teeth :frown:

Can't say I am really hungry - I cleaned the kitchen - tried to Iron this skirt from coldwater creek that came today (a lady I work with gave me a 40% coupon) omw - it's gorde or pleated and i spent an hour on it and now my back is killing me -

I was pissed this afternoon when I could get our old thread - Wanted to see what Phyl said - I was busy at work so didn't get a chance to ck as much as I usually do...

Yes this is a healthy transfer addiction - better than my shopping :eek:

Ok gotta ck my dinner - gs just gave be a bit of chick quesidlilla from taco bell -it was good - see i wasn't hungry till i had that bite now i want to eat - food really is an addiction for me - once i start I can't stop (well yes with the band I stop - but pre band I didn't - this is why for me it's such a great tool..

Ok - I am out here for the night - Sweet Dreams everyone - Talk to you all tomorrow...

xoxox

      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.
