Tell your brother, "True, I've eaten too much in the past -- but at least I haven't put my foot in my mouth today."

I'm hoping for September for me, so I'll be right behind y'all, asking a ton of questions. (Hope you always wanted an annoying little sister! 🙂)

You've lost 95 pounds in six months and you think that's slow? How much were you expecting to lose by now? I'm not trying to be snotty; I'm seriously asking why you're devastated rather than thrilled.

I thought I was near the home stretch, but my clinic has come to a screeching halt with the hospital postponing all non-emergent surgeries again due to the past month's pandemic spike. (sigh)

Wish I had a trick to help, but I'm a stall-and-whoosh loser, too. Here's wishing you a good three-pound whoosh soon!

That may very well be the cause of some of the trouble you're having. Try strictly following your clinic's timing recommendations about fluids/solid food, and see if that improves things for you. Good luck!

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!

No apologies needed -- I'm always interested!

Sorry, I realize im totally hogging this thread, but im bored and have nothing better to do!
A salad lunch: romaine & vinaigrette, smoked cheddar, aged gouda, carrots, pumpkin seeds, anchovies (don’t judge me!), and seasoned cuttlefish (leftovers from the Kid’s lunch at a Korean restaurant): a measly 144 calories total for the bowl.
Am about to sit down in front of the tv to eat it, and plan on eating it all!

Bummer about your postponement -- I hope it's brief.
Here's a link to a less restrictive pre-op diet that another poster received. It seems so sustainable to me that I'm currently following it to lose weight (I'm not scheduled for surgery yet). With 64 oz. of Water daily, it isn't as hellish as most pre-op diets I've seen.

That looks like it would be worth regretting. I practically licked the monitor.

Thanks so much.

Those look good. Is the recipe online, I hope?

Same here. They gave me three months to drop a specific number of pounds, but two months later I'm still losing and then regaining the same three pounds over and over, despite water/exercise/careful logging. And I'm sure the dietician is getting sick of my increasingly frantic emails.
