Wow, thanks everyone for your kind and encouraging words I've got 10 days til surgery now, and I am doing lots better with the pre-op diet. If I keep myself busy and distracted, I can go w/out being hungry. I know it's not really right, but I went a long time yesterday without having anything from my list. My cousin's husband passed away and I went over there an hour after I got out of bed, so didn't have time to really do much, and got busy so I didn't think about food. I flubbed up and ate MAYBE 1 cup of popcorn at the basketball game, and that was just to get SOMETHING in my stomach to stop it from growling so bad. I then went to a friend's house and had my protein shakes and applesauce cups I had brought with me and hadn't had time to eat (they don't allow outside food or drinks at the school) And ate one more time when i got home and was under calories for the day when I went to bed.

Hello y'all! My name is Jennifer and I am 29 years old. I am 5'10" and currently weigh 361lbs. My highest weight ever has been 380lbs. I decided to do the gastric bypass after my PCP told me that my joints were deteriorating and that the weight is not helping. I have a ton of co-morbidities such as PCOS, depression/anxiety, arthritis, sleep apnea, I'm hypoglycemic, and a few others. I am just an all around mess. I am the stepmother to two boys ages 10 and 11, and they sure keep me on my toes. Because of the PCOS, I am unable to have children of my own right now, but that could all change after surgery I am tired of being big....it's kept me from soooooo many things in my life, and I will never again go back to what I am now. Every surgeon does things different, and mine has me on a 2 week pre-op diet to shrink my liver. I am on day 2 and not enjoying it one bit. I would eat salads all day long if they would let me....and NO not loaded down with garbage either. I CAN eat healthy, just chose not to. I'm a food lover.....food of all kinds......but then of course, they limit me right before surgery to things I DON'T really care for hahaha . Oh well, I'm doing this even if it kills me. I am going to be Thin and Tremendous at Thirty!!!!!!!!!!
