I am on day 5 of pre-op diet and have lost 10 pounds. I am excited about it even though it's surely just water weight. I have told a few people (who have asked) that I have lost 10 pounds. They keep saying "it's just water weight." I DON'T CARE! 10 pounds is 10 pounds

YES! I forgot to mention the sex part too...My husband and I have been together for over 1/2 of our lives and I really want to have a better sex life with him. My weight doesn't seem to bother him, but I am just embarrassed to have him see me without clothing on...we deserve better

I have no weight related diagnoses like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, nothing. What I do have are 2 knees that remind me that they weren't meant to carry this much woman. I have a hip that got dislocated during a "use of force" training at my work...I work in corrections. I have a back that screams at me to take a seat when I want to go for a walk with my dogs. I just want my life back. I love the pretty clothes I can buy at Lane Bryant, Torrid and Catherine's. I just don't want those to be my only clothing options. I am so heavy that my shoe size went up a size and a half. It's time. It's way past time actually. Today was day one of pre-op diet and my surgery is in Mexico at Pompeii on the 30th. I am a little nervous that I won't fit in an airplane seat but I will get to Mexico if I have to crawl. It's just time.

I must have a low pressure gauge on me somewhere...

OMG! I just about spit my water out. I am scheduled for the 30th. Should I ask for less tire pressure? lol

I have read a bazillion posts looking for a vitamin supplement that will be a once a day sort of thing. I want to have the right vitamins to nourish my body but not something that I have to carry around and try to remember to take at intervals throughout the day. Does something like this even exist? I understand that I may need more than one vitamin, I just was hoping that once a day and done was possible. My surgery is scheduled for the 30th of this month in Mexico

I got approved on March 27th and was scheduled on April 30th. I did have to make the choice to go to Mexico to do it though since my insurance was being crazy and wouldn't approve me unless I did a one year time frame with a nutritionist...then it was still going to cost over what I could afford.

Mine is April 30th. I was not told how long to do pre-op diet. How long did y'all do the dreaded liquid diet?
