Since I have always be a volume eater I knew this was going a challenge. After a visit to my nutrisionist, I started a kinda low fat diet and low carb. My goal is to get to 30 grams or less. I wasn't 100% sticking to it but I worked on it. Now that I have gotten all that sugar out of me I'm not that hungry.

Since I haven't been that hungry I decided to practice. I'm not alway's 100% percent with that either but, I have been eating slower and chewing alot. I'm amazed at how quickly I felt satisfied without eating a mound of food. I think before I continued to eat because it just tasted so darn good.

I'm fortunate that I don't have a dreadful pre-op diet. I am having surgery this friday at 7:30 and only have to do Clear liquids on Wendsday an Thrusday. I have lost 14 lbs so far. Call me crazy but I think I'm going to start my pre-op early. Why not I've got to give it up anyway. At least until Wednesday I can eat if I am hungry.

I will keep ya'll informed.

Clear Liquids day 1-3, full liquids day 4-8, soft foods day 9-15. Day 16 and on ward regular food. Low carb and low fat. Like I said I was lucky. Since I had 2 abnormal EKG's for the first time in my life, I had to do a stress test but everything seems to be OK. Got released for surgery. I had breasr cancer last year that scared me so I decided this was what I needed to do. Now that there is a possibilty of heart diease on the horizen. I don't think I could be more motivated that I am right now.

We all have to much life to live and I'm not wasting another minuite on this crazy merry go round.

Great idea Hippychick. I have been doing high Protein low carb too - and cutting down the volume and eating more slowly. All the best on your journey. I look forward to your next update.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
