  1. I'm thinking about a lot of things. I'm looking back on my past years. 2014 was when I decided enough was enough. I ex had given up on me, January 1, 2014 took my daughter and just left me. At that time I was at 780 plus pounds. In a wheelchair. Didn't hear from them, nine days later I get a call from my sister. She tells me that my ex told her that she was working on divorce and for her to go get me out of the place I was living (we were living with my ex in laws) So I fell deep into depression. Mid Jan. I decided to do something about my weight. So I started walking on my treadmill 5 mins a day at a 1.0 speed. It was very hard, I was not on a diet. Just controlled my food intake and made water a huge part of my day. I've come a long way, i'm now able to walk miles instead of only 5 minutes a day. Its a good feeling, I look back and think to myself "all the achy days, all the mornings and nights I cried myself to sleep cause of all the heartache, pain and felt like giving up: it was all worth it and glad i did not give in or give up" 2014 780 plus pounds today I weighed myself. I'm now at 390lbs and i'm feeling so good, it great accomplishment feeling. On a different note: I'm like 3 days away from my surgery day. Yes i'm nervous, excited about this next steppingstone but worried cause of the diet I will be on. I've never been good at diets, so adapting to this new lifestyle will be a challenge but i'm ready for it...

      Do you realize how ready you are for the next leg of your trip? Think of the amazing changes you've made already to have lost 400 lbs completely under your own steam. Instead of thinking of your life post-surgery as a "diet," recognize that it's a continuation of the past couple of years -- you'll be making more changes in the way you eat. That's what it really amounts to. Get in there. You are a champion.

      If you saw how much your stomach convulses and churns to digest food you wouldn't have cheated. Liquids are to make it easier for your body to heal.

      He is on his pre-op diet. The purpose of the diet is to shrink his liver, he still has a normal stomach.
