For me, the most difficult milestone so far has been giving up caffeine. I can’t wait to have coffee again someday. My plan requires a 10 day liquid pre-op diet. Tonight marks the end of day 5 and I’ve lost 9 lbs. While I’m exhausted at night- I feel pretty good during the day. Around day 3, I stopped even thinking about meals because I’d gotten use to the hunger pangs. I have to remind myself to get my Protein intake. I don’t know if I’ll be this lucky on day 6 but so far so good. I get sleeved on Monday- I cannot wait!! Planning to do some serious purée meal prepping this weekend. So nice to hear all the success stories so far!! HW: 420 SW:320 CW: 293 GW: 185

Anyone else going through major caffeine withdrawals trying to prep for surgery? I'm day 7 of no caffeine and I still have headaches! Any tips?

Surgery date is March 26th, pre-op apt March 20th. Liquid diet starts March 15!

What is everyone doing to prepare for post op? Are you pureeing food and freezing it? I was told to puree approved food and store it in ice cube trays in the freezer- since that's the correct portion size... Thoughts?

Scheduled for March 26th! Super excited!
