Hello,
I'm new here, and I started my pre-op diet last week at 369. I'm down to 359 so far.

My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning, wish me luck ladies [emoji6] ( I appreciate this thread for those of us with a bit longer journey[emoji813]️)

Just got the call from the hospital. I'll be checking in at 5:30am on Monday, 11/12, and under the knife at 7:00am.

I'm on the 7th day of clear liquids(surgery tomorrow)...it's awful, especially the first four days. Dizzy, nauseous, weak, headache. Watered down apple juice is allowed by my Dr. as long as I dont go over 50 calories. Rest as much as you can.

Just thought I would do an update.
Highest weight 378 as shown on the left. Surgery weight 363(2/28/18) the picture on the right was about a month ago I am down to 249!!!

Same shape hear! Pants are the hardest for me to find! Pre op my 28 were baggy but 26 was still too snug. I won't have to buy clothes from about 26-24. I got those jeans in my "too small drawer." I think I'll always be a bit bigger on bottom. Hoping my proportions will change nicely.

As a fellow pear shape, I suggest investing in a good belt and buying pants at Cato. Their pants tend to fit best for plus size ladies with smaller waists and bigger legs [emoji6] I'm sure the weight loss will eventually even out to all areas.

I got you, girl. I'm six months post op. Been in that same place..its not easy. Your body and mind is wigging out. You will go thru ups and downs, more changes than you will ever go through. Get a journal scribble down your crazy thoughts. Doesn't matter if you cant read it. Get it out. Pray if your at all religious. Concentrate on the positive and stay focused on yourself and you will get through it. Go to a support group if there's one in your area.
Your going to be just fine..it just takes time. It took me until four months till the waters parted and I felt human again. Please keep us posted..hang in there. Every day will get better.

I had my sleeve done the 2nd. I had issues with nausea but i came home just a little over 24 hours after surgery. Started my Protein intake today. Good luck to everyone having surgery, I'm sure you'll do great!

Surgery was on the 1st. Had a little too much nausea so I was kept an extra day but it looks like I’ll be going home today! Good luck to all of you still waiting.
Remember to walk walk walk. The gas pains are no joke I promise.
