Hiya! I'm ten days away from my surgery and on a liquid diet. This forum has helped me too. I have two sisters who are petite little things. I've struggled with my weight since childhood. With every diet I lost and then gained even more. I have NO idea why anyone would think having surgery is the easy way out. I'm terrified. This is my last choice after trying everything else. I haven't figured out how to friend on here but would love to make friends!

Sounds delicious

I'm two weeks out from surgery on my pre op diet can't wait to not be hungry all the time.

I'm doing the RNY but have a couple friends who have done the sleeve and are very happy. Both have pros and cons. For me I took a good hard look at my medical issues, my relationship with food, and my support system, and chose what looked like would give me the best chance of living a healthy life post op.

The waiting is the worst or maybe it's the weighting...haha. Seriously though, I'm on my 2 week pre op diet and I just want to get the surgery over with so I don't have to worry and have my family worry at me about it. Yesterday my sister started crying and said I better not die. Ack! That's the last thing I want to think about. I told her I'm doing this to continue to live. If I remain obese I won't live long and my quality of life is bad. Staying strong while waiting is definitely hard work!

You look beautiful and so happy! Congrats!

Wow! That's awesome! The weight is just falling off you! I hope I'm the same! Keep up the great work! You're an inspiration!

Hooray! Another option!

You're going in with the right mindset. I know I need to do the same when my date comes up. You'll do great!

Today is the beginning of day 2 of the pre op diet for me. It's good to hear that it gets easier because I'm really struggling.

Surgery date of 8/20! Today is my first day of the 2 week liquid diet. I vacillate between excitement and terror. Ahhhhhhh!
