You do need to follow the pre-op diet. It helps shrink your liver so your surgical team can maneuver better. Always follow your plan or you may find yourself struggling long term. Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

This is the last day you will be this version of you. You're only a day away from a healthier, stronger, brighter version of you. You got this! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Nikki - protein is 70 grams but I don't have a calorie goal. My team asked that I stay away from pastas, bread, excess sugar, alcohol and carbonation. Otherwise, I'm ok to try things in moderation. I find after a few bites at each meal, I'm satisfied. If I had to guess, is say no more than 1,000 calories in a day - probably closer to 700-800.

Hi Jacob - I too had a few fears in the days leading up to my procedure and even cried the morning of as I was waiting (I didn't wait too long). I said a little prayer and let the fear go. In here 13 weeks later and 78 lbs. lighter, my three co-morbidities gone! Waking up from anesthesia was the hardest part for me because of nausea. Understand there will be pain and discomfort for a few weeks but it subsides. Trust your team of experts, follow your plan, get your walking in and you'll do fine. Best of luck to you for a safe journey and speedy recovery! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey readytorunagain - I've followed the plan my team set for me, get my protein in every day, walk 30 minutes every day, try to get over 10K steps each day. I started the Couch25K program after one month and I'm almost through it. I keep working my program and it's not always easy but every day is a new day to do it right! Hw: 310 Pre-op:306 Sw: 288 (roughly) Cw: 228.4!!!!! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

I can't believe I'm typing this! I'm so close and it doesn't feel out of reach. Sure, it might take me a few more months to get there but I don't mind. I'm thrilled with my progress. At 14 weeks out I've lost 78 pounds. Keep it up to those just starting the journey. Its not always easy but it is worth it! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm now about 12 weeks out and just hit 75 lbs. lost! It ebbs and flows but hitting those milestones is encouraging! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

Update: ran for 25 minutes straight no stopping yesterday with the C25K Program! 7 weeks in with two to go before my 5K run. Hit 239 on the scale today! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app
