@@danilynne I'm very excited! Going over my pre-op stuff now. I'm only required to do the 3 day pre-op diet, so I'll start that next weekend. Good luck to you!

HW: 290+
SW: 260.8
GW: 160
My surgery is scheduled for 11/3 in Tijuana with Dr. alejandro lopez.
Today I am starting the pre-op diet. I went to Sam's Club yesterday and stocked up on Premier Protein (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry), lettuce, cherry tomatoes and grilled mesquite chicken breasts.
My pre-op diet will be the following:
Breakfast: Protein shake
Snack: Activia Light yogurt
Lunch: Protein Shake
Dinner: salad with chicken breast
Snack: Additional Protein shake (if needed)
This menu has 825 calories, 21g fat, 40g carbs, 121g protein
I would like to lose 15-20 pounds over the 4 weeks before surgery.
I took my "before" pictures this morning in my bra and underwear. I had mixed feelings. I felt depressed and ashamed of my body but I also felt happy because I knew this is going to be my "before" which means I'm determined to do what I need to in order to reach my goal. If I need any inspiration during the next four weeks I plan on staring at those back rolls until I find the self control and determination I need.

My husband isn't obese but now I want him to get the sleeve!

Before my surgery I felt in my late 50's...looked it too. I feel like I'm getting younger approaching my late 30's...haha! Getting the comments how much younger I look helps too. I'm glad I did this surgery...good times!

I am new here.
This just confirms my decision to tell no one in my family except my mother (she had gastric bypass in the early 70s when it was in it's infancy). I will not tell my kids (mostly adults) nor my husband nor anyone I work with. I do not want the skeptics or naysayers. I don't want anyone to tell me "no" or my husband to sabotage me.
This seems like a good place to get support so keep coming back here.
Good luck!

As Madonna says "Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another." I'm getting the exact same harsh feedback from my entire family including my 36 yr old daughter who has never walked in my shoes. My surgery is Tuesday Dec 29th in Juarez with Dr. Rodriguez and I'm even more determined now then ever before.

To @@heartofthetinman ...
Reading your initial and subsequent posts, I think you are related to some of the most ignorant, selfish people I have ever read of. Sorry to talk that way about your people.
They aren't educated about this surgery. Yet they refuse to be educated about it.
They aren't showing you any love -- probably because they aren't loving people.
Your husband really is an asshole. Sight unseen.
Here's what it boils down to: Ultimately, each of us is responsible for the life we get. No matter what others do that affect us we all have to then respond. You can respond by caving in and becoming *their* victim (probably wouldn't be the first time you did that). OR you can make your decisions and have the conviction to follow through with your convictions.
Accept that your family isn't going to support you -- at least not on the front end of this, and maybe not on the back end either. Maybe never.
And what if you were wildly successful with your WLS and they never supported you -- because they (semi-consciously) felt how wrong they'd been, but didn't have the balls to own up to their ignorance and errors? You could still go on and live a much, much, much better and longer life than you will live as an obese person with all the health issues that come with that.
You can bitch about them. And that's OK. But you still have to make your own decision. And you have to stick with it every day thereafter -- if you truly want to build a better life for yourself.
I honestly, truly wish for you a better, happier, healthier life than you've got now. Things can get much better for you if you choose that different life.
