Excellent! I passed my psych eval and will visit the surgeon soon. Now pushing out my deadline… with any luck I’ll get my surgery by March of next year.

Here is me just shy of my heaviest of 365 lbs. I started my Weight loss journey June 2020. I lost about 35 pre surgery which was January 4, 2021. I also have had to have a revision due to a perforated ulcer mid July. I am now down a total of 120 lbs. it’s amazing the difference I feel. My 5 year old can actually sit in my lap… because I have one now! I can see my feet when I weigh myself. I don’t have to lean against a wall to wipe after using the bathroom, or to clean myself in the shower. I can buckle my seatbelt with out getting out of breath. I now consider myself ‘normal’ fat because I actually blend in with a crowd rather than standing out as the largest in a room! I’m sure I could go on but I am so glad I did this!

Did you lose anything in the pre-op liquid diet? I lost about 15 and then like 10 the first week. After that it was 2 weeks before I lost anything. I called crying. They told me to just trust my body because it had just went through trauma. It is like what in the world did you just do to me?!? It will come off! Stay off google and don’t compare to other people. Stress can affect weight loss too. It gets easier!

I had a gastric bypass in January of this year. After that one of my most favorite Snacks were the Quest Protein chips! They have almost 20 g of protein and 150 cal. So so so good!

I just had to have a revision last week due to a perforated ulcer. My new favorite is cottage cheese with powdered Peanut Butter, or cottage cheese with some sugar-free Jell-O sprinkled over it!

Congratulations on your weight loss! I posted some of my before and after pics. I was 348 at my heaviest. I was 330 in July 2020 when I began the approval process. I was 310 on December 23, 2020, the day of surgery. I am now 247. My weight loss isn’t going as fast as some. I do eat a bit more in carbs and I work out 4-5 days a week including strength training. I have never felt or looked as good as I do now.

I noticed today that I actually weigh 5 lbs. less than the wild lie that has been listed on my driver's license for the past 25 years! 🤣🤩 I guess it qualifies as a NSV.

I'm only day 4 pre-op and I'm sick of Premier. I tried the Fairlife Nutrition chocolate & vanilla today & it's SOOO much better! Doesn't have that chalky taste at all!

I second the PB2!!!! I put it in a fairlife chocolate Protein drink! It is like a treat! I’m going to try a little instant coffee once I get to the store and blend it.

Right now cottage cheese with strawberry is one for me.

I had a gastric bypass in January of this year. After that one of my most favorite Snacks were the Quest Protein chips! They have almost 20 g of protein and 150 cal. So so so good!
