What a cool name!

You are quite welcome and thanks for the kind words. I think what happens is that we are all so wrapped up in our own situations (not that we don't care about others' situations), that we sometimes forget to make comments on what others say, etc. But when we read something in another's post that relates so closely to what we have gone through or are going through at that precise moment, we jump on it like it was a lifeline. It feels so real, but we are all here for a reason. And if somebody doesn't relate to your post, then someone else surely will. It seems like everyone on here is pretty cool and quite happy to have other people to talk to about the same problem.

I just so related to your story about toast because early last week, that is exactly what I wanted. But the way you told your story was so much funnier than the way I could have told it. :teeth_smile:

I know for a fact that there are people who visit this site and hardly ever, if ever, even post at all. They are happy to just read the postings and be incognito. And that's cool. But if just one great post encourages a person to come out and talk to others, it was a good day. :thumbup: The best of luck on your surgery today. Let us know how you are doing. Bonnie:wink_smile:

Hey!! You know what I figured out that really works? I put my shakes in the freezer for about 30 minutes and it thickens them up and the coldness really kinda soothes me for some reason. I know that might sound kinda weird but for some reason it does the trick.

Idk if you can only have liquids, but if not I found this Protein bar by Atkins thats called chocolate Peanut Butter. OMG its FABULOUS!!! Its alittle high in calories 240 but the Protein is like 17g and it actually for the most part taste like Reeses. Maybe I am just so craving Reeses that it does it for me but even my mom (who is also having the surgery, just 2 weeks after me) said its really good. They are expensive (atleast for me they are) but they so help with the sweet tooth in me.

Also, another thing that has seemed to help is like sticking to a schedule if at all possible. If I do happen to get hungry I just tell myself...next time I can have something is for example at noon and I just kinda have something to look forward. Most of the time though unless I didn't get a chance to eat around the set time, im not all that hungry anyways. But even if you aren't hungry you still gotta stay on track or you will become so hungry you want to stuff your face LoL. I made that mistake.

Oh yeah...two last things...try drinking a variety of things. Iced tea, crytal light, Water, diet snapple, etc. It doesn't make things seem so just plain....and gum...OMG GUM ROCKS!!! They have the sugar free by extra and they fruity flavors and the flavor lasts a long time and there are only 5 calories. I snack on one or two a day if I need to trick my brain and stomach into not being hungry.

Hope my little experiences help you or atleast someone. Again thanks for all the support everyone! :-)

July 30th is almost here! YaY!

Wheee!

Thank you Cami!

I am about 6 hours 54 minutes before check in time. Not that I am counting! Just as well I don't exactly know when my surgery is or I would have it down to the minute. I still haven't gone to bed yet, just pottering around the house trying to organise last minute things.

I am a little scared, a whole lot of tentative and mostly just anxious that it all goes smoothly.

I am worried that I am going to start shouting under sedation that I have changed my mind!!!

July 31st will come fast for you and its good to have someone excited with me :biggrin2: I look forward to celebrating your band day too!

Beck

By the time you read this you will probably be banded! GO GIRL GO! There is no stopping you now. Let me know how you are feeling once you are feeling well enough. You are in my thoughts and I hope all went well today. This is your time! This truly IS the FIRST day of the REST of your life.

To Bonni and Cami,

I am okay! Feeling pretty sore and sorry for myself, but taking it easy.

It's a bit hard to explain all the feelings going through my head right now, but I hope to get there at some point. Until then I am cheering you all on and working out this new path too!

Beck,

I can only guess how you are feeling. I know I will question my choice and hate the pain but I KNOW I hated being fat more than anything and the pain will be very short lived. The pain of being fat would have lasted my life time.

If you need an ear to just rant you can always send me a private message. This too shall pass!

Simply,

Cami

Beck,

Glad you are doing ok. I'm sure you are just having some post-surgery blues, whatever those are. I have no idea what they are, but it sounds like a good excuse. You need cheering, too. You will be fine. Everything will work itself out, I'm sure. Keep us posted. Bonnie

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
