I didn't lose a lot during my pre-op diet, but my liver was small which was the goal. Try not to worry too much about the scale. You will do just fine. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 224 GW: 165

One month ago today at this time, I'm certain 2/3 of my stomach was being removed. I remember waking up in recovery saying I was thirsty and immediately went back to sleep. I've lost 14 pounds and quite a few inches since surgery. I feel so much better and can't stop smiling. [emoji16] The first week and a half were challenging, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

My surgery was April 25. I've had the same hair stylist for the last 20 years. I informed her I was having surgery and to expect some hair loss. This was taken yesterday and my hair is growing and is very healthy. I also get my hair washed, treated and styled every two weeks religiously. I don't even own a comb or brush [emoji53]HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 224 GW: 165

I've purchased some really great snacks from The Bariatric Store and they're great. I don't feel like I'm cheating because its healthy. Don't overthink...you can do this. We're in this together and won't let you fall. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 224 GW: 165

The pre op diet is the hardest part. Its all mental...you can do it! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 224 GW: 165

I have Protein20 water that I bought during the pre op liquid phase and its horrible also. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 224 GW: 165
