Good luck!!!!

I'm 9 weeks out. I eat between 500 - 700 calories per day. (This includes one premier protein shake, a half of an Isopure protein drink, and 1 1/2 - 3 ounces of baked salmon almost every day.)

I felt like my swelling went down at about 7 weeks. Hopefully it's still a bit swollen, because that means I'm going be even smaller soon.

Soooo true!

Congrats! Welcome to the club.

So frustrating! Keep the faith.

I was not looking forward to my pre op diet, but....it helped me prepare for after the surgery. I'd definitely cut down in the next couple of weeks.

I was only able to walk, pre surgery. But what really helped with my pre surgery weight loss was keeping track of everything I put in my mouth. The app My Fitness Pal is invaluable. (I lost 25lbs in about 14 weeks prior to surgery.)

I agree about the head hunger. I'm still having trouble telling the difference between real hunger and head hunger.

I actually lost 25 pounds of it presurgery. i'm concentrating on eating protein protein and more protein.

I shared with my family members that I also consider to be friends, and that's it.

My doc told me to have a protein and a bit of veggies, and that's pretty much it. Very little pasta, bread, etc.

Lesson learned!!

Her reaction has nothing to do with you. It's about her own fear and insecurities. This is not cheating by any means. But if is was, so what!

Very inspiring!
