The straw for me was my 8 year old grandson asking why I looked like I was pregnant. All I could say was" because I'm fat" what more is there to say?

I'm June 10th and I am nor doing protein shakes pre-op. I've been doing 3 oz protein, Vegi's, and a starch for the past 5 weeks. I've lost 20 lbs so far. I have Kaiser insurance and they don't do protein shakes even post-op. It's clear liquids for 3 days, then blended soft foods for a week, then slowly adding textured foods. This sounds way different from what other doctors and insurance require. Does anyone else have Kaiser with a different food plan?

I'm wondering the same thing. I've told only immediate family. I'm apprehensive about telling people. I feel like this is very personal. But on the other hand, it will also be very noticeable. Not quite sure how to handle questions from people.

Hi all, I'm scheduled for June 10th. I'm excited and a little nervous at the same time. I've lost almost 20lbs on the pre op diet and I'm really nervous that I'm just going to gain it back. You know, the little voice in your head that tells you " yeah, we've been here before" guess it's all just nerves.
