Yay!!!! I'm happy to hear from you! The weight will start dropping I'm sure after swelling goes down. How's your pain level? I'm also having hiatal hernia repair in the same surgery.

Well in 9 days I've gone from 278 to 269. And my husband made a comment last night that I look smaller. BUT my initial weigh in was 276 and then I gained 2 lbs as my week of "final meals" so I hope that what they have me recorded at will be enough of a weight loss still have 5 days to go. But I can look back to last week and remember talking to someone who was on day 9 and I was on day 3 and thought it was so far away! Well it flew by. Now I'm on day 9 and I'm not complaining anymore!!! That first week is a doozy tho! I still have cravings but its easier to resist. Yesterday I ate a spinach salad with chicken breast grilled and protein shakes... That's all and I handled it. Today ill just have broths and protein shakes.

Day 8! 6 to go!

I wasn't a big soda drinker but I had a headache every day last week from not being able to have my morning coffee. Take some extra strength Tylenol and go to bed!

I know!! In the day to day it's Gona poke by but in reality in 5 mins wer Gona be saying omg surgery tomorrow!!!! This week will fly by and the weekend will drag its feet lol.

Congratulations to everyone having surgery today! May God be with you every step of the way!

I'm freaking out cuz I only show to have lost like 3 lbs.... Aunt flow came in and so I'm hoping that I've actually lost more... Cuz I'm going to be really angry if I did all this starving for nothing! Or if they tell me my liver is just still too fatty.

7 MORE DAYS! I've made it half way!

I live about 2 hrs east of Dallas. I'm using dr marsden through True Results out of Baylor in Richardson.

I'm so happy for you!!!!! Good luck and congratulations! You're Gona do great! Hope to hear from you soon after surgery.

I am sooooo emotional!!! I'm watching my 600 lb life and crying! I hope that gets better.

It is def harder with the hunger pains! After surgery we will get full quickly so it will be so much easier!

I don't think so. My dr said to stop all diet pills even natural ones.

Having a hard time not wanting to cheat tonight. I know it's a state of mind.... I just need to sleep for the next 9 days lol

I'm not a big caffein drinker at all. A lot of things I've read says headaches are from ur body detoxing from sugars and carbs.

Today def seems better. I am having daily headaches tho. But I'm trying to stay busy to keep my mind off of it.

Today makes my 5th day. I still am struggling. Yesterday was the hardest. But today is a new day!

Texas

I say you have made it 10 days!!!!!! That's something to celebrate! And you only have 3 more to go!!! How I wish I could trade places with you!!! This us your very last weekend as the you you are right now. In 3 days you will start an amazing new life! That's so exciting!!! It's Gona fly by!

Hi Jerry! Ill day a prayer for you on that day! What state r u in?

Hi Lindsey I'm heather. I'm still early in my pre op but its getting harder. I came into it knowing I was prepared but truth be told its not easy. I know I can do it but its just moment to moment.

I keep trying to just look at one day at a time instead of me having 10 days left. : ( I have to keep my mind busy or I'm miserable. I was home sick today so it hasn't been easy. If I could just sleep for the next 10 days that'd be great lol. I'm from tx. Using a surgeon out of Dallas. U?

Well I guess I shouldn't be complaining then. Just so very diff from what I was doing. My stomach is saying its hungry but my brain is telling it it can't have anything and I want to cry. Lol I know it'll be easier when my stomach is 4 oz big... I won't have to deal with hunger pains.

I'm allowed a small lean meat and green veggies once a day. I can have fat free yogurts, sugar free jellos, protein shakes,.. Things like that. But it's def not filling and I'm hungry. Blah

Thank you. I wasn't sure how much fruit I can have cuz it's loaded with sugar.
