I'm pre-surgery (with a date set 9/20) and I tracked what I was eating for a week just to see my typical amount of Protein in a day. I found that I was only taking in about 20g!
I added a morning Protein shake thinking I'd just start a habit a little early, and what do you know .. I lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks! I guess we all need to do what it takes to get it in, no matter how good (or awful) it might taste

I'm getting sleeved the same day!

So I've been battling obesity for a very long time. One day I seen my doctor paperwork say 'morbid obesity' and diagnosed as prediabetic I knew something had to change. So through research I learned that my insurance paid for gastric sleeve. So weighing in at my highest 260 I began my six month nutrition classes. So far I've lost 20lbs which was what I was required to lose on my own to qualify. August the 5th is my preop class and august the 17th is my surgery date. I'm alittle nervous but mostly excited. I began my liquid diet on August 3rd, what a journey that'll be. I'll be getting my surgery in Washington DC at the age of 28. Inbox with any questions.

I am just starting my Pre op stuff I was approved yesterday! My biggest problem is my head! it won't shut up. It keeps saying just one bite won't hurt. But, it was the same for quitting smoking. Which I had to do for this. 8 weeks smoke free. I was a 46 year smoker!

I was sleeved on the 26th, starting weight 280, op day weight 222, goal weight 150, current weight 145. I'm a sous chef at a marina and I sweat all day long in an 80-90 degree kitchen, I am moving [all day long] in a two story building. I drink more than the minimum amount of Water needed (because I am sweating, I need to replace that). I put inventory up, (yes up a set of stairs, we call it "leg day"... we have 3 of them a week minimum) and this is just things off the top of my head as to what I do in a day's work. Oh and 12 hour days, 5-6 days a week sometimes 7 if someone calls out. I bring greek yogurt, Protein bars, I make sure to hit my Protein count etc.
I've cut my hair, gotten a new tattoo (already had a few), and have to make an effort to not shop for myself now that I'm in my dream size.
I did everything the way my doctors program laid out for me and I reached the goal they set for me. I'm extremely happy with the decision to have this surgery and I am never looking back!!!!

I had totally forgotten how bad my feet used to hurt!!! I had to plan ahead depending upon how much walking would e required if I could go or not. I thought it was from years of ballet that had ruined my feet. Guess what? Lose the weight, no more foot pain and I love to walk!

Going up stairs without gasping for air like a fish out of Water.
Walking the dogs and not only walking faster than they want to, but wanting to drop them at home and go back out alone.
So much less hip and back pain.
Sitting Indian style.
Sitting with my knees pulled up to my chest with ease and comfort.
Being able to wear high heels.
Being able to fit in a bench and allowing the person opposite of me to push it closer to me because I have too much room on my side.
Being able to sleep on my stomach because I'm so much flatter than before in the belly area.
Not feeling mortified and ashamed if I see a high school acquaintance while being out.
Going from a size 2x shirts to medium shirts and a size 22 pants to size 8 pants.
