My program took me 8 months before my surgery. I was monitored the while time and was scolded if I gained weight. They want to see if you can do what it takes to be successful. My surgeon put it very bluntly, if you won't help yourself in won't help you. Makes sense to me. I would work on losing weight, unless they gave you a number of pounds you need tonlaoe, just lose. My pre op, before liquids, was low carb and it was very easy. The weigh dropped off. I did Atkins meals and snack bars. Limiting my carbs made me have mess cravings and made it easier. Besides this is the type of diet we will have to follow the rest of your lives. If you cant do it now the surgery could be a waste. Just my two cents.

Welcome! I just had my surgery June 12th and feel good. It has not been nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. I go to counseling and have read books that have really helped me know what to expect. I have stayed positive. I have focused on the prize at the end rather then what I can't have right now. I also tell myself I will be "normal" one day and that means anything in moderation. Losing weight during the pre op program has been fun and had made me look forward to losing more. I made a list of all the things I want to do that are more either hard for me or I can't /won't do because if my weight. It keeps me motivated. I also wrote a letter to myself, which I shared with my family, about what my life is like right now so when I start to forget I can read my own words. Just some thoughts. Good luck, make sure you are doing it for yourself and that you only surround yourself with people who support you.

It'd a compliment! I have been told congratulations by several doctors. I think they see it as a new start to life and they are excited for us.

Are you getting accurate nutrition from your Protein Drinks? I'm drinking Boost which is meant for Meal Replacement and is a balanced source of nutrients. Might wanna try something like that.

Do you see a therapist? I think that has been extremely helpful for me. This is a road we can't go down alone. You're going to need support.

It's not as hard as you think. At least it wasn't for mem. I was pleasantly surprised.

Vitamin B-12!! Take it, will help with energy. I get an injection once a month, required by the program I'm in.

Mine is 3 days before you. June 12th. I'm on the liquid diet. I'm drinking Boost and it's good.

I'm in. Add me. Goal 280

Impish my surgery is scheduled for June 12th. I am so excited. I will say one thing. You need to lose weight and not gain. I gained 2 pounds after a 15 pound loss and Leger wasn't happy with me. I do understand his concerns though so I'm working hard to lose before surgery. I started the process in novemver. I went right through the steps pretty quickly. I am an expert at losing weight, as I'm sure we all are, so I was able to put practices in place quickly.
