Trying to hit that 100lb loss this week!

I was sleeved on March 20th. One night in the hospital and back at work on the 27th. I'm still in the full liquid stage and I'm having no problems getting them in. I'm getting about 50 grams of Protein in a day. I'm down 11 lbs since surgery and over 30 including pre op. I can't wait til I can start puréed foods. Looking forward to chewing again and I'm really curious about how my new sleeve will react to food.< /p>

March 20th for me with Dr. Chau out of Princeton, NJ! Day 4 of my pre-op diet and down 9 lbs.!

Ahh home. Very painful ride home but much better now. Having a little trouble getting in my liquids but working on it.

I have to be at the hospital at 6:16 am. No citrate for me. Good luck everyone! See you on the other side sitting on the losers bench!

One week to go 20 er's! Are you ready? Have you been sticking to your pre-op diets? Are you as nervous as I am?

So today marked day 6 of my pre-op diet. I've generally been doing pretty good with it. I realize I have to do this and I've put my mind to it to get it done. Today was a very busy day. We've recently finished our basement and I had lots to do building shelves and hanging pictures. Right after I started working my knees started to throb. Then my back began to ache. After about an hour I got nauseas and a bit woozy. I struggled through the rest of the day taking many breaks and resting my knees and my back.
Once the day was done, I took a shower and realized why I'm about to have life changing surgery in 10 days. Sure, I'd like to look hot again (or as hot as a 60 year old guy can) but after today the real reason came out. I can't live anymore carrying about 150 lbs of extra weight. Although my doc says I'm the healthiest fat guy he's ever seen, I know that if my joints and muscles are breaking down so badly from this weight, the rest of my body can't be far behind.
Looking good will be a great side affect from my surgery but truly the best benefit will be being healthy once again.
