I am 5'6" and 260. I have lost 13 pounds in the 6 month doctor visits. I guess I haven't really thought about it, but 140 would be a good number. I have been overweight my whole life, I think it will feel really strange.

Boomshelle, great post! You are so funny! Glad things are going good for you.

Your pores shrink? That would be nice. One person I talked to said she grieved for food for about a month after her surgery.

My surgery is August 2nd. I have started my pre op liquid diet I am not sure how I am going to do this. We get 2 cups steamed veggies a day, but need to stay away from potatoes, corn and peas. I am starving and have a headache!

We have 2 protien shakes a day, 2 pieces of fruit, 2 cups of steamed vegetables and 2 8 oz glasses of skim milk. We can have all the water, sugar free jello, popsicles, broth, etc that we want. I must say though, I have had my shake this morning, with a pear. I am still starving. I am trying to fill up on broth. I think this must be in my head.

I work within the department that cares for sleeve patients, so I have been pretty open about it.

I am fortunate that I didn't have to do the apnea study? Did anyone else not do it?

I am having my surgery August 2nd. Starting my pre op diet tomorrow. Can we have coffee on our pre op diet?
