People on the boards are telling people that muscle weighs more than fat. That is the most wrong statement there is. a pound of muscle weighs the same a a pound of fat. Muscle is more dense and takes up less space, but weight is weight.

Surgery Thursday Aug 30th, back to work today. (Sept 4)

Started my preop diet Aug 25th. Weighed 385. Had surgery on Aug 30th. (yes I was suppossed to start a couple days sooner, but it was hard) I did cheat one day and had a cheeseburger and fries. On Aug 30th before surgery, I weighed 369. Today I am at 363. Had surgery Thursday, came home Friday, walked a mile Saturday, walked 2 miles Sunday, walked 3 miles yesterday. I am almost pain free in my abdomen. craving food, but the thought of throwing up scares me from trying anything. I have only thrown up like 3 times in my life. 39 year old male by the way. Everything is going smooth and easy. Oh, and I am back at work today and having no issues. One thing I will say is I have done everything the doctors have asked. Protein shakes, creamed soups, water, sugar free jello and pudding, and thats pretty much it. I can't see into the future, but for now, this was very easy and pretty much painless.

Next day

On your profiles, is starting weight your weight on surgery day or at the beginning of pre op diet?

Any skin issues?

That is awesome bro. My main incision is killing me. Sleeved yesterday too.

Really? No pain from incision?

Feeling good. Just walked around. Will be going home tomorrow. Not doing pain meds. The main incision is th only thing hurting. The journey begins!

10:50 am for me!

How did u feel mentally? Scared? Did anyone chicken out at the last minute? Any family talks just in case? Tomorrow is my day.

Me too. Tomorrow at 10:50am.

My thread was hijacked! LOL

I am 5 minutes from making me a cheeseburger and fries! This is really hard.

72wade, I am trying but it s sooooo tough! 4 more days!

7 days

Does a cheat ruin surgery?

You mind telling your current weight?

I want to cheat so bad! I need some food! How did you all do it? Anyone cheat?

Looked at wrong profile. Embarrassing. Sorry

Huh? You lost 118lbs in 8 months!!!

Scared why? Would be nice to know why.

I am hearing about chages in peoples bodies... breath, lactose intolerant, sweets, etc. Are there any of you who after a couple months or so are back to normal? Like in moderation can still eat the same things and feel normal?

Anyone else?

I see people saying their surgeries are being delayed or cancelled. What are the reasons???
