I dug up some old images of me in the past 2 years. The first is before I got seriously motivated about weight loss (10/2013). I was probably around 520lbs, maybe higher. (Highest ever recorded is 585.) Then, in late March 2014, diabetes made me realize that I had to do something about my lifestyle and weight. I started seriously trying to lose weight (again...other times I gained back plus some) and weight loss surgery. On 4/1/2014, I was 515lbs. Then, I had surgery on 9/15/2014 @ 415lbs. Yesterday was my 1 year surgiversary at 233lbs.

Thank you!
I feel so much better than I used to. The change has been amazing. I've hit my initial goal of being under 250 (245 as I write this) and am shooting for 215, if possible, to have lost 300lbs.

La Tortilla makes a taco/fajita-sized tortilla with 50 calories (they have a bigger one with more calories). I think it has 5g Protein, 10g carbs, but 7g or so is fiber. I've seen them at Kroger, Sprouts, or online at netrition.com

I had my first massage ever as a reward for reaching the 300lb mark (or was it at 315 to Celebrate losing 200...). I have had one every month since and love it. I actually have one scheduled tonight.

My highest weight was 585 (several years ago). I got serious about weight loss surgery at about 515 in April 2014. At surgery in Sept 2014, I was about 415. I am now 235 and still losing (hopefully. ..I am away from home and haven't checked this week).
KcHelper as for satisfaction from food, it will get better, but sometimes it's better if it doesn't, if you know what I mean. However, I learned a while ago that food always seems better in my head than it ends up being (I realized this even before surgery while still overeating... it didn't seem to stop me from trying to prove it wrong, though. ☺)
OP, as for the preop diet, just stick with it. I know it's hard, but it is important to avoid complications. Are you allowed broth or bouillon? That helped me with something savory. Also, check with your surgeon, but I was allowed a few small-medium dill pickles (and mustard) a day up until a few days before surgery (when everything had to be liquid).
Good luck. You can do this. Just stick with it. After all the hard work you will feel so much better and live a better, and longer, life.

I agree or I did until a week or so ago - if you can use milk. I have found out a way to make powder ones even better. You blend them with ice and some xanthan gum. (I got mine off Amazon.) It makes them almost like a Wendy's Frosty with the right Protein powder. (However, I am using Carbmaster milk. For preop, you might need to use Water. .. check with your plan. If you have to use water, the Premier might be better but powders allow more flavors. ) I use about an eighth of a teaspoon of the xanthan gum per shake.< /p>
