Sissy - I have up my calories big time yesterday and it paid off. I have lost 1.5 lbs. I will definitely have to be careful with my calories from now on.

Thanks again,

Alisa

LOL...yeah, I think most of us count the pre-op diet as well as it's part of this process. 30 pounds is great (good job catching yourself)!!! We all need to learn how to take a compliment too (haven't had enough of these about our weight over the years)!!! I found myself blogging here this morning about finally making it to 'Overweight' and in the same blog making excuses that I lost that one last pound because I was sick last night...like I didn't do all the work to get the other 46 pounds off. I'm so used to putting myself down when it comes to weight loss. We need to be proud of how hard we're working and how far we've come!

Hi Jersey

What's your preband weight so I can add you to the spreadsheet?

Sorry for making trouble. I've been on vacation and out of touch since 6/15. My preband weight was 309.

Yesterday's weight was 277. Not bad -- 4lbs down on 4 week party.

Well JT what did the doctor say?

Well first of all I have to make a couple of points.

1. My Dr is known for his lack of bedside manner

2. I don’t count my weight on surgery day because I had and over night cleans

a. 288 the night before surgery

b. 282, I think, the day of surgery

That being said……..

The nurse said that I’m right on track. I commented how frustrating the 1 pound loss every other week is. For band patients they plan for 3 years to reach goal.

The Dr commented that I’d lost 22lbs in 3 months and a few days, I kind of broke in and commented that I don’t feel surgery date weight is a good one because of the cleans. He then went to my post fill instructions….

In short not upset not ecstatic…….

Now the fill….. I got 2cc the Dr had problems getting in the port finally did but wants to do my next fill under fluoroscope.

What made me happy was I weighed 258 this morning in my sleeping shorts. The Dr's office weighs higher than my home scale but when I got there I weighed 258 that made me happy.

      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!!
