I've had my surgery since 2015 and very few people know outside of my immediate family and closest friends.

Totally doable look at my stats. Hit 100 lbs loss in Dec 2015. Oh and no pre-op diet over my doctor does not do that.

No 2 week liquid diet here. How lucky are we??

My only regret is I didn't do it sooner. Best life decision I ever made.

@@Kathy812 I aimed for around 90grams. I was getting 50-60 before.I'm not that active at all so didn't want to overdo it.

I stay away from counting calories and focus on counting macros. I stalled last month so this month I upped my Protein and lost same weight in a week that I lost in the entire month of April.

Down 105 lbs in 8.5 months no pre-op diet since my surgeon doesn't do one. It's mind blowing that I only have 40ish lbs to reach my first goal.

Eat something before, half a Protein bar or have the shake before.

I put $2000 and used it all.

No food funeral. After surgery especially further out you will be able to eat all the same foods you did before. Question is do you still want to keep eating the same things?

Yup, no pre-op diet either. My surgery was on Monday, so Saturday and Sunday was nothing but clears. And nothing after midnight on Sunday except for the nausea meds 2 hours before surgery.

22lbs

Wednesday will be 6 months out for me, I started at 287 a BMI of 49. Today woke up at 202 and a BMI of 34.7 which means even with co-morbidites I would be denied for this surgery by insurance company. It's been an amazing journey. Hope to be in onederland by next week.

I'm doing whole30 this month so breakfast everyday is pretty much eggs, eggs, eggs.

My period started day of surgery, it wasn't a big deal except that paper underwear I had to wear.
