Hi everyone and thanks for being so open and honest. It helps to educate and prepare those of us beginning this journey. My surgery date is July 2 and have been on my 2 week pre-op diet for almost a week now. It's not too bad and I can tell I'm losing inches and already feel much better. I am 57 yrs old and weigh about 320. I've always been healthy and active but over the past 6-8 years, have allowed my priorities to change. I hated hearing myself make excuses for my current state (I travel, I work 60 hours per week, I have people I have to take care of, yada yada yada), when in reality, what I should have been simply saying is, "I make bad choices". So, I realized as I "mature" (nice way to put it, no?) things will only get worse physically and I have lots of things I want to do that I've lost interest in (because I physically can't or don't feel like I can). I anticipate my greatest challenge will be redefining my relationship with food. So here I go---wish me luck and best of luck to you all.

Step4271 got a reaction from Terry Poperszky in First post op appointment
Hello everyone had my first post op appointment today. The Dr said I could eat my Protein and not drink it. I was so excited finally food but I am so careful when I eat. I do not want to get sick. Anyway have been on a liquid diet for 18 days and have lost 15lbs so far. On my way to a better life. Hope everyone is having a great day:)
