It's great to know that I wasn't alone this month. Especially since my surgery date was June 9th and birthdate June 12th. I feel like I've had as 2nd birth in many ways!

Okay. YIKES! I've had 2 c-sections. I don't like being cut open. Getting a little figety now. *Reminding mice elf that they're not pulling a 9 pound baby out an appropriate sized opening...it's just 2 inches.*

Happy all the 6/1 - 6/11 are doing so well! Focusing on your milestones. Congratulations!

Please post your little victories 1 week post surgery. It helps all of us Jazzy June people!

After all the mishaps I have experienced over the last month, I am finally going to be banded on June 30th. I have really enjoyed reading all the posts from this group.

I am taking vacation for two weeks starting on June 29th, but was afraid they would schedule my surgery for July, so I specifically asked for June 30th so I could join you guys. You are a great bunch of people and I am honored to be part of this group.

Good luck to all who are going through their surgery today and this week. Speedy recovery and a happy band life to all.

Hey Kathystrick....what is your pre-op diet. I started mine last week and have 8 days to go. I hate to say this but I am not minding the diet. I have all clear, sugar free liquids with the exception of a protien drink in the morning. I will do anything just to get this done and on the road to a new life. I think the thing that saves me on this diet is the chicken broth. I worry about the sodium in it so will head to town to get some low sodium broth. Hang in there, Kathy. It will be over b/4 you know it.

I am doing a modified Atkins. I wanted to do liquids, but he prefers Atkins, so we agreed on liquids all day and high-protein supper, as long as I can get 50 - 60 grams of Protein per day and no more than 50 grams of carbs. I'm not feeling so bad now, the scale is down 8 pounds in a week, so definitely motivating! :teeth_smile: Thanks for the kind words. Now that I am less than a week untl surgery, it feels like a breeze!:biggrin:

You're one day behind me, Kathy. 8lbs! Great! I haven't stepped on the scale this week. Going to stay away from it for about a month if I can help it. Been kind of at a plateau since losing my 50lbs and don't want to get down about it. Aren't we a great group of Jazzy Junes? Take care and good luck!:teeth_smile:

      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!!
