Good to hear from you guys & that you survived the holidays. I usually just read what people have to say & that's it. But I have to vent... I am so super frustrated! I have lost 40 lbs since surgery which was on Sept. 17th. This past month I have lost nothing. I get that there are stalls, but this is crazy. I am stuck at 200 lbs. I will go up to 203 & back down to 200, it's making me doubt if what I did was worth it for 40 lbs. I consume about 750 calories a day with 80-100 grams of protein, low carbs, low sugar & low fat. Is anybody else having this issue? I guess I need to call the doctor. Thanks for the feedback

I want to thank all of you who responded. Your positive words & encouragement have been amazing. Thank you.

Hi. I'm confused by everyones post referring to a liquid diet prior to surgery. I have not heard of that & that makes me nervous since my surgery is scheduled for September 17th. My psyche appt is next Tuesday & my preop is September 9th. The main reason I wanted to write a post is because I have to lose 10 lbs prior to surgery. I have in 3 weeks lost 7 lbs. So excited & proud of myself & even though this surgery has been a long time coming, could I do this on my own? I know the answer to that, but is anyone else having a similar experience? My family questions my choice & I'm looking for some support. Thank you, Sarah
