Gosh, we should be more than have way through our June banders already! It's going by fast. Soon we'll be all banded. It seems a little quieter on the June board already, I hope everyone sticks around!

KathyStrick, have yet to see a post surgery update from you, hope it went well yesterday!

Hi all,

Include me in your prestigous group. I have been on my pre-op diet since Saturday, June 14th and have lost 6 pounds so far. My surgery is on Monday, April 23. I'm doing pretty good I really am a salt person so I'm having some issues with all the sweet stuff. My partner isn't getting the surgery but is also on the liquid diet for moral support. On top of it my 84 year old mother is living with us for a short time while she is recuperating from Hip sugery and my college age son is home for the summer.

I'm getting a little scared.

I'm doing the preop diet but tomorrow it's one week from my surgery so I am just doing shakes now. I'm really not that hungry.

I really like the Arizona Tea Company's diet peach tea. Also, since I am a reader, I am reading whenever I have a few minutes. The time is flying by!

I SO KNOW HOW YOU ARE FEELING!!!. I felt FINE right up until the day before my op!.. I was pacing.. picking things up and putting them down again.. having no idea what I was doing with myself!.. the few hours prior to departure felt the longest.. but once I was on my way.. the time FLEW BY..and here I am two days later.. back at home.. on my bed.. slight discomfort.. but doing great!!.. and you will do too!!>.

my tip!.. KEEP OCCUPIED.. MOVIES ARE GREAT.. PHONE FRIENDS AND FAMILY.. ...maybe even sleep!!>. ( I couldn't sleep the night before surgery!. I kept waking thinking I had missed my appointment!)..

GOOD LUCK!!!!!.. It is a very strange feeling to be NERVOUS< ANXIOUS AND EXCITED!!!... but we are all here for you.. keep posting messages!..that helped me too!.. If you look back I was even waffling nonsense!>. but it is good to keep talking about it!!!..

Hoping everyone sticks around also. Make sure you sign up for the spreadsheet tracking on my other thread. I will probably create a LBT Social group when I get back from surgery next week also.

Lets keep the motivation and support going past our surgeries, it will mkae losing weight afterwards that much easier.: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!!
