I'm Oct 23rd also. A barrel of mixed emotions...excited and nervous. I've heard over and over again that the pre op diet is the worst. Have to admit, I just ate a small 1/2 cup of chili. But, probably because I didn't eat my shake for lunch, just a cup of broth which was definitely not enough to make the hunger stop.

How are you all doing on the pre op? I've lost 5.5 lbs already!! What a great start to my new life ;)

Ok like the opti shakes from heb the double chocolate and been eating Jello and Soup also. Had one slip this weekend and had a bite of something I shouldn't and I hated it, I thought it was weird my mind has been set on that is unhealthy, which is great and the shakes aren't as bad as I though. I got insurance approved just need the doctor and hospital to agree on the same date, one had the 23 another this Tuesday? Grrrrr

Hello 23rd bandsters so it's been a week now since I have started up the Optifast and I have lost 5 pounds. hope that's good progress I really hate the Soup love the shakes but hate the soup so I replace my soup with go Campbells soup and it's pretty good and I'm still under the 1000 calorie mark each day. anybody else like the soup tell me what I can do to make it better

So yeah I forgot to mention I did slip up. I had a bologna sandwich which I don't even eat much bologna and a hot dog but I guess I am still showing progress with the 5 pounds I'm going to do better this week.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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
