I did the Optifast and loved the chocolate shake. I threw fresh strawberries into the vanilla shake and blended it with a few ice cubes and it was like a strawberry shake. I had no problems with Optifast.

This chat is great bc I get so excited about WLS & life after and I feel like no one understands my constant chatter about the subject. Now I'm even more excited than ever to connect with others who understand!

I had my HR director today ask me how I can be so excited about surgery and I said because it is a permanent change!

I am to check in at 530 am on the 6th. Get to do Clear liquids for 2 days before surgery. I would go tomorrow if they would let me! I will post and check in after I wake up. Will look forward to hearing from other august banders as you get done! I feel like I'm going to peel away the old body to find the 'real' me! I can't wait to breathe better, have energy, and feel good about myself. You can be pitiful or powerful but you can't be both- Joyce Meyer

I feel like my husband becomes annoyed because it is all I talk about. I love that I'm not alone with this board.

      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
