I spent Friday night with a girlfriend drinking way more than any human should ever drink! I spent a whole day yesterday...eating what I could and recovering from Friday night :P Today I am doing my first day Pre Op diet. I'm already finding it to be difficult and day dreaming about things I would normally eat. Ugggg! It is mostly head hunger...but the shake definitely didn't fill me up. Guess that is what it feels like to eat to satiety instead of being stuffed like so many of us like to do. Let the learning process begin..... I feel a nap in my future :P

Happy birthday! The pre-op diet will get easier - days 3 to 5 were the worst for me, but then it was a "breeze".

By the way, we are the same age - I turned 38 in April.

Carmen it will be better. Day 1 and 2 I was so hungry and all I could think about was food. I felt kind of weak and took a nap both days. I am now on day 5 and it is soo much better. I am having sf Jello, sf popsicles, chicken broth and the Protein shakes. Sometimes I have the shakes with skim milk and sometimes Water.

I have learned to eat before I actuall get hungry. Last night I looked in the fridge and saw my husbands shredded lettuce and thought if I could just eat one little piece of lettuce it would taste so good to crunch something. To think my whole life I just shoved food in my pie hole and never gave it a second thought. I am thinking right now I will never take food for granted again. When the time comes I can eat something beside broth I will savor every little morsel. LOL

It is really a challenge to do this but each day is getting easier on the pre-op diet and it will for you too.

Hang in there and congrats on the Birthday!

      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...

      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
