I am so happy the scale finally moved in the right direction!!! I have given up on not weighing myself. My office is right next door to a health unit. So I can't help myself. Not on it everyday though. It's been about a week since I weighed last. Hope to be pleasantly suprised next Monday as well. Woo Hoo!!!

Chilli sounds fantastic. I'm so glad you've successfully moved onto the mushie stage! I moved into the full liquids stage today, and my pudding and Protein Shake with milk are so delicious. I ate about half a pudding cup and I think I'm full... I don't feel hungry, but I'm beginning to feel something in my chest that makes me think my top stomach is full. I don't want to push it on the first day, so I'll stop here.

When are you able to move onto mushies? You were banded the 27th? Thats just 2 days after me.

What have you been blending? I blended home made chili last night as my first meal. So yesterday I had my Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch then the chili and lost a pound! Today I had the same Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and tonight have blended up some Pasta with meat sauce ........... it looks like poop on a plate but OMG so yummy!

Soexcited, I move on to mushies on the 17th. My doctor is very conservative with the healing process, so I have ten dys each of Clear Liquids, full liquids, then mushies before I move on to solids.

Well, lol, I haven't been blending anything. I've just been eating! Still pretty healthy, but probably a few things I shouldn't and probably more than I should. I did okay the first day on mushies, it was the next day that mushies just kinda went with the wind. But I'm back on it and starting to see the scale move in the right direction again! :thumbup:

I'm down 23 pounds since my first consult, 9.5 of that (assuming I did the math right) is just since surgery. I can't believe it's only been 12 weeks since I started this whole process and the change in how I'm dealing with food, even prior to actually getting the band, is phenomenal.

I think my body is really, really good at losing weight quickly at first. I've lost 20 pounds overall, 3 of those being pre-op. So, since surgery (11 days) I've lost 17 pounds.

      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.
