Here's my weight loss graph since I started my liquid pre op diet on Christmas. There are peaks and valleys but overall it keeps going down. To be honest every time I start to gain a bit I panic but still. The graph doesn't lie. Hope it helps. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I weighed 430lbs on Christmas when I started the liquid pre-op diet. That got me down to 410 the day of surgery on January 8th (I had gastric sleeve). I'm down to 384 now 2/2/18. This is the first time in a long time that I've been below 400 and I'm feeling great. I went from taking 3 blood pressure meds and 4 diabetes meds and I'm off all of them. Having this surgery was the best thing I ever did. I hope your experience is as good as the one I've had so far.

Mine are all crazy itchy too. It just means they are healing. I have never heard the hemorrhoid cream thing, you might check with your surgeon before putting anything on them. They shaved my belly so my incisions have new hairs sprouting out of them, ugh!

Ugh, It's killing me too. I'm one week in and 16 pounds down. The work crew is doing a new years pot luck tonight and they all brought such amazing looking and smelling food. I about felt like breaking down in tears. It sucks but it'll be worth it! We can do this!

My wife and I will both be having gastric sleeve surgery on January 8th! I can't wait to get it done.
