Thank you for Sharing. I am tired of the yoyo diet and weight. I have closets full I might fit in that clothes if and when I lose the weight. I know now that I will be able to enjoy those clothes on this journey (but just for a bit) and be able to give them away because they are too big and I am extremely excited knowing in the near future I can go shopping in any department store and shop and buy smaller fashion styles of clothes....... Holidays here I come with a new attitude, a new body, a new healthier mind and I will be styling. Lol...thank you again for sharing...

Hi, I am getting nervous as well, my surgery is in a week . I sometimes think to myself and say I can do it again with no surgery. But that only crosses my mind for a few minutes. If I did 1 diet I did 1 too many and regained all I lost what makes me think I can do it again by dieting.. so on with the journey. Tonight I have a split sleep study. I started the last phase of pre-op diet which is the liquid diet N so far so good. No more self doubting...let us get it done...

Prayers and good thoughts going your way...

Just Cking to c how you r doing

Hi how are you doing today?

Liquid diet consist of 4-5 shakes ( Adkins advantage, slim fast low carb, or EAS) and 1 cup of broth and some jello.. Lots and lots of water w/crystal light

Time goes by really fast the closer you get to your surgery date. I am about a week away and I keep asking myself where has time gone?

Wow, amazing. Keep it up and you will be at your goal in no time...

Thank you both OTR and 4alonglife. I will pray and see what is in store for me

Hi I was just told by my partner that has been in remission for 7 yrs that two of here lymph-nodes behind her stomach are swollen. He did say he doesn't think the cancer is back but he wants to double ck..The oncologist wants her to have a biopsy some time next week. My surgery is next week , my question should I reschedule my surgery. I am self pay. She said to continue with my surgery. What does everyone think.

Hi I am down 14 lbs on the low carb low fat high protein diet. Tomorrow I start the liquid diet I can hardly wait to see how much I will lose.. Great job to everyone that has survived the 1st phase of the pre-op....

Hi Lisa I will be having surgery on the 29th. I have to get my pulmonary clearance because I had a positive test on the sleep apnea. I have an appt scheduled this Wednesday. Because I am private pay this has moved very quickly, I am just great that I found VST, because I would have gone in with blinders on. Keep me posted on your progress. My name is Ellie I am 50 yrs old and My starting weight is 229 , I started my pre-op diet July 8th and I am at 216 . Congratulations on this great journey to the loser bench...

This is one that I like cafe caramel RTD EAS AND Adkins advantage . I try to make it thicker by blending it with ice. Especially in the morning I have an hour commute. I am pre- op...

Good luck to all who are having surgery. I will be praying for each and everyone.

I hope and pray I can say the same thing sometime next week. Take care and please continue to post

This weekend my internet keep going down, I was upset so went to my cell phone instead of my iPad. I am suppose to be working and I am on VST... Thank you all for all the wonderful information regardless if its good, bad, or the ugly I will hopefully learn from it..

Same here..
