Awesome job dexter. Keep up the good work. It is a long road but one I'm looking forward to

@ my pre surgery diet started on may the 8th. I do 2 shakes a day and 1 small lean Protein meal and veggies through the day. I go for preop apt on july 9th and I am sure he will want me to be on all liquids for awhile.

hi there, I am so sorry to hear about her denial from the insurance. I went through that for ten years and I finally switched insurance and got on Obama care insurance. I know a lot of people are not happy with the changes that have been made but switching to this insurance is literally going to give me my life back. I hope things work out and will be sending positive thoughts your way.

hi all excited and cant wait for the date to get here. So anyone on the preop diet yet? how is that going for you. I have been on it since may the 8th. It does get easier.

it wasn't too long about 10-12 days or so but it seemed like months. I am pre-op still and just been working so hard to lose enough so that my liver will shrink. I am hoping it will be ok.

hi all, just checking in, I finally broke out of the little stall I was in. Weighed today and ten more pounds lost. Total of 50 so far.

Lost ten more pounds finally broke the stall

He hasn't really said and I didn't think to ask. I just keep eating less than 600 calories a day and exercising to try and lose as much as I can

I was having a hard time getting protein in too. And bought the syntrax nectar sample pack. I have used about 6 so far and they all taste good. I use unsweet almond milk with them.

I have no liver disease or anything

I have sleep apnea. And really bad knees and back pain. I am only 29 so luckily I haven't gotten all the co morbid things like diabetes or hypertension

I'm on for july 22. Hope we all do well

Hi all I'm on for july 22. Here's hoping the time goes by quickly

Hello all I am preop and have been on the liver shrinking diet of two shakes a day and one lean meal for supper. I have lost forty pounds in less than a month. Now I have not lost any for over a week. Are stalls normal for being preop as well as post op? I barely get 500 calories a day and the main carbs I get are. My veggies and some low fat dairy. I guess its worrisome because the doctor said my liver was still quit large. So please any suggestions to start losing again or do I just be patient?

hi all would love to hear any updates on how things are going. seems like i dont see much activity in these forums. prob everyone is out living their awesome lives. Cant wait to be one of the people that get to do that

july 22nd for me cant wait

I have a question. I have been on preop diet since may 8th and lost forty pound in less than a month. When I went back to the dr recently he said my liver was still pretty big. Is it possible that a persons liver will stay larger if they have been big their whole lives. I'm worried this liver of mine is not going to shrink enough.

Hi all, I just got my date, July 22nd. Cant come soon enough. I have been on the pre-op diet since may the 8th. I have to start drinking 3 shakes instead of 2 and a meal. Liver needs to shrink more. Good luck to us all.

I have been big all my life, in my baby book mom wrote "Oh you are getting so big, you are wearing sissy's clothes, and we had to return the size 2T. (This was when I was six months old.) I have been on different diets since I was seven years old. I just got my surgery date and am looking forward to this new me.

my date is july 22nd, i have to start doing three shakes a day, my liver is not small enough yet. I will keep everyone posted.

I feel like I will actually get to live life for once instead of being a spectator.

I have been fighting insurance for ten years and since obama care I actually got to switch insurance and now have coverage.

Hi all so excited. I will be sleeved on july 22. This has been about ten years coming so I am so ready. I have to start drinking three shakes a day instead of the two and a meal because my liver has not shrunk enough. I have lost forty pounds in under a month on the diet. Thanks to all of you on here, you keep me inspired.

im in the same boat i have never flown or rode roller coasters because i have been very big my whole life. i cant wait for surgery and to start having a life filled with "firsts" good luck on your journey

hi there all i reached my 40 pound goal, i go to the doctors tomorrow to get my surgery date, so excited and cant wait
