Follow the rules 'religiously'.
Do not go off track at all.
Keep focused on your goals.
Go into every day with 150% determination.
Look at every struggle with optimism.
Keep your mental health in check.
sleep well every night.
Do not let others influence you.
It's not about the destination it's the journey.
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Finally hit my first major goal.
100lbs gone in 100 days
Feeling great 👍
Feeling confident.
from 322lbs to 222lbs
my next goal is 200lbs
then see how I look and feel
might even get to 190 yet 😀
Thank you everyone.

That is game on you are killing it good job

Azhiker reason being is that my doc wants 4 weeks on the pre op diet and as I stated I’m just easing into it. I’m just waiting til my appointment on the tenth to set a date...I’ve already cut out the other foods, soda, alcohol and caffeine and just want to be successful. Thank you.☺️

I’m on day 6 of my preop liquid diet. Things I have learned.

liquid in means liquid out. Be aware.
chicken broth makes this even worse!
Don’t trust farts
You’ll be tempted to cheat. Don’t do it. Find something else to distract you.
Plan on hiding from people. It’s too hard to be around food.
Stock up before your diet starts. It’s too are to be in the grocery store.
Good luck!!!! You can do this!

Just wondering why you are starting the liquid diet if you don't have a surgery date yet. Until you get a date, you can still prepare by eliminating foods you cannot/should not have after surgery, such as sugar, refined carbs, soda, caffeine, and alcohol. Cleaning up the general diet even before the official pre-op diet is very helpful so you don't go through withdrawal while dealing with the hard parts of liquid diet and recovery.

I'm new to this site and in the beginning of the sleeve surgery. Probably within the next month or so .I have tons of thoughts running thru my head at all times. Basically I need a good support system.
