    I started shopping for my pre and 1st week post-op as well. I may be eating all the food now, but I figured the more pro-active I am in preparing for the things I need starting 7/12 the better I will be. I realize that planning has GOT to become part of my process with food. It's the not planning that leads me to eat the wrong food, and that's how I got to this point. Good luck with your surgery, keep us posted on how you do!

    What was your tipping point?

    Hi! Your post caught my eye because I am also 52, and tall at 5'10. Over the last few years of turning 50, I have been adding 10 pounds a year without changing anything. I realized that if I don't do something, I will just continue to get bigger. My breaking point was seeing a photo of myself that slapped me in the face with reality. I have managed to fool my mind by only looking in the mirror (once a day if that) and only at certain angles -doing my make up in a magnifying mirror that I only actually see the top 3/4 of my face. I am very anxious to start fresh with a great tool that will be the boundary I have been unable to set for myself consistently. I am having the gastric sleeve done in Mexico on July 27th.

    I am worried about the liquid diet too! I've been reading that the first 3 days are the worst, and after that it gets easier? I"m sorry you have to start on a day being surrounded by food, but I suppose post surgery, this will be our path?

    Mine is also July 27th. I am going to Endobariatrics in Mexico. I have been on a "food parade", taking in all of my favorites before I can't have then anymore. I think I in doing all of this, I am making the pre-op harder on myself, but I do realize this is not an option after July 12. When does your pre-op start and where are you having your surgery?
