This was so beautifully stated. I am new to this forum but I know that shaming never works and addictions don't have to make sense. We do need to support each other and be very careful of our own subjective feelings related to Judgment of others. Sometimes if we've not experienced a behavior we do not understand it. We don't need to reinforce it as being okay, and we really don't need to shame it. We support the person not the behavior that we know is not healthy. post="4565255" timestamp="1513127338" name="paintnpencils" userid="331151"] I haven’t done it yet but I am to supposed to go on an all liquid diet for 10 days before surgery. Minimum 60 grams protein 800 cal per day low to no sugar. To shrink liver and make room for surgery. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

As for losing weight having surgery or not having surgery, it's a very personal thing. At 58 years old for the last 40 years I struggled with an extra 20 lbs, then 30, then 40. Up and down and up and down. Each time my bass weight would get higher and overtime my highway would get higher. If you're able to eat well and take it off and keep it off Godspeed. I'm done with the battle and feel if I I don't lose it and keep it off then the quality of my life will be greatly impacted. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in the same boat. I've done the Physicians monitored within the last 18 months and I'm in the 3-month program. My surgery is now scheduled for January 25th. I'm right at 36 BMI and and I'm concerned about losing too much weight on the liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery. It's a crazy concern right? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey Sandy, this is my first post. Although I've been involved with this process since last summer this is my first attempt at connecting with the community. Good luck with your journey! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app
