Thanks so much for your reply. I am determined! I know that I am a stress eater. I have recently completed my doctoral program, so the stress level should be much less now. I’m on my 3rd day of full liquids, and I am already down 4 pounds. I’m not actually hungry; it’s just a head game. I already am feeling the benefits. My goal for the moment is to get below 200. I’m taking it one step at a time, and I’ve realized the importance of the support I receive here. I don’t want to be a failure statistic! I am going to do this.

I had my surgery in June of 2014. I got down to 175 but I am now back up to 213. I started yesterday back on my preop full liquid diet. I am determined to get this weight back off. Years ago, this forum was so inspirational to me. A lot of the people I followed have not posted in years. I wonder what happened to them and how they are doing. I am hoping a veteran can offer advice on how I can successfully shed these pounds!

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Please keep me posted.

I am in your same boat. I had my surgery in 2014. I am considering going back on my preop liquid diet.
