  9. Hi, my name is Rob and I'm addicted to food. I'm restarting this journey to weight loss surgery. I have my first weigh in on July 14th and hope to be down 10 pounds from where I am at now. This has been a long, hard, emotional journey and I need it to start going in the right direction.

      Everyday. Once I get past this liquid diet and on to food, I will stop and maybe once or twice a week.

      Its been okay. I don't understand, I am not hungry but my stomach has been really hurting like a raw feeling for days. I don't understand why. The day I ate some baked chicken it went away for a while. Surgery being tomorrow I thought it was best to stay liquid. How are you?
