That is great!

Absolutely nothing to worry about. You won't feel a thing. It's perfectly understandable to be frightened by the idea of a tube going down your throat. Just like it's perfectly understandable to be frightened by the idea of surgery. But it's also perfectly understandable that you won't feel a thing. Lol. You're gonna love the new you!!

Thanks!! Good luck to you, too!

July 30th... good luck, your almost there

I started my liquid diet this morning. I have to be on it for 10 days. Two shakes down and 38 more to go!!! lol

Sometimes it just feels good to vent. I know that I will have my moments too soon.

I am 1 week post op down 20 pounds. I was afraid of food for this week and especially bacon! Being the cook for the family, I finally made and egg bake for dinner and didn't even chew and spit out a morsel! Lol. Nope. just smelled and walked away. Now I now I am over food. No need to fear. Haha

I am July 30

Welcome Skinny Scott.. July is coming up quick! It is going to be a great month for all of us.

A newbie here! Would love to join your group! My surgery is scheduled for July 8th, but I am still waiting on final clearance from ins co. I feel like I am walking in pins and needles. Good luck to everyone with July dates!!

July 29 for me

I can't stand it...I want this so bad I can taste it!!

Dear pittguy & iamworthit ,
Thanks for the support , I am adapting to the new way of life fairly well , the effort and need i world expend expend on
eating and thinking of eating and planning on eating is gone !!! the takeout buisness in Media has taken a mighty hit!
I am convinced i have the cleanest most organized apartment in Media hands down.
keeping focused on getting my eating/drinking schedule correct , and thath seems to keep my mind off of food
also i clean to occupy my time i have cleaned ..... EVERYTHING.
found myself washing my refrigator magnets ... am i bored or what
I think once i get back to work i can direct most of that extra energy to my job. Lord help them !
Have a great weekend

whoops didn't mean to post twice...i guess I really am excited!

I was never given a weight loss goal, either. Would have not cared if he gave me one, anyways. I believe, my own body sets its own goal and once achieved, it will stop on its own, unless I mess up.
Since, I am 5.5, I will be happy with 120lbs if I make it that far.

Hey everyone,
10 days out and doing amazingly well.
Getting my protiein, fluids and vitiamins. have had no real bad side effects .walk almost every day ( weather permitting ) past couple of dayshave been beautiful and i have been walking between 1 mile and a 1-3/8 mile hopefully next week kick it up to two miles ....this is a huge improvement to 6 months ago was avering 100 yards and needing to sit down and take a rest
I live in a quaint little town that has been around for Approx. 200 years , some very old Historical homes and building on every block, Its amazing what you see if you just walk around and look ...
Hope everyone is comming through this ok ?
Have a great weekend

good luck!!! The diet has been the hardest part so far!!! Plus side, I lost 14 pounds in a week.... I guess it's kinda worth it, but sucks all the same!!!

See if you can have sugar free Popsicles at all or beef/chicken broth. I got bullion cubes and they say they have 0 cals. Also, I asked if I could blend my Protein with ice and they told me it was ok. Makes it seem more filling and crunching on the ice makes it feel like I am actually eating.
Also, I have been adding flavoring extracts to my shakes. You can find them in the baking aisle at Walmart by the spices. Lots of flavors... banana, almond, cherry... They are calorie free.

Since Friday has always been "pizza day" in our house, I am making my fiancé a flatbread pizza on a 100 calorie flatbread. For myself, I am making a layered pizza casserole with laughing cow cream cheese on the bottom, a layer of sauce, a layer of low fat mozz, and a top layer of shredded turkey pepperoni. Can't wait!
