Surgery on 8/31. Getting a jump start on the diet so I can minimize any complications and make sure I get a good surgery. Down 9 pounds in 5 days. Worried I may lose too much to keep my insurance approval. Have 3 weeks to go. The diet is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I am not feeling really hungry at all but I am only on it 5 days so far.

KEEP FOUS ON WHAT MADE YOU DO IT…
it going to get better ❤️‍🩹 I’m on my 5th day and I am forcing the fiuild down the 4 th day I did 40ish … you can do it!!!

I know when I felt I stalled or slowed down, I made sure I was exercising, eating my Protein, no Snacks and drinking Water. You did not gain the weight over night and slow progress with get you to your goal. I think you are doing wonderful.👍

Heading out to the hospital! Procedure is today.... hooray for me! Prayers and good vibes [emoji1488] appreciated [emoji3526]

I can’t wait till I have the surgery. So ready to start my new life.
Had a horrible experience at work today. Had to put on a lab coat and overalls and they didn’t fit properly. Could barely move in them. Felt so embarrassed. Had the same thing a few weeks ago when trying the new uniform. They didn’t have my size so I had to try men’s sizes. So embarrassing and it looked horrible. I am so ready to never feel this way again.
I just finished week one of the pre-op diet my surgeon gave me. Just one more week. By this time next week I’ll be done. Can’t wait. 🤞🏻

August 24!!!

It has made my day to read this I swear, that comic is amazing. I didn't realize this topic was in the mens discussion room. Holy fkn funny.I'm not sure if this happens to women, but if it does I don't know how I could actually be hornier. I'm 30 so I'm already in my sexual prime. If the situation was backwards, I sure wouldn't change my partner if he couldn't keep up, I'd just make him watch ahaha ok ok back to work, somehow supposed to concentrate..

No problem at all and thanks!
I think my experience was quite average. You can also have a look at the July 2021 thread for some more surgery stories. Some have had more challenges than others but overall it seems to be a very safe and tolerable experience 😊 It definitely eased my mind to read everyone's experiences here as well.

I’m scheduled for the 18th too!!
