:P I am still in my pre-op stage of VSG with 1 more supervised PCP visit for my insurance required 6 supervised diet visits. So far I have lost 49 pounds as I have been "practicing" eating as I will after surgery. I went to my PCP Friday and was taken off my high blood pressure medicine. I am so excited!!!!!! I have been on HBP meds for over 20 years so this is BIG for me. I just had to share for those who are Preopers like me, you can do this and it is worth the preparation to get that smaller liver, lose what you can before surgery and change those habits now. Eating slow and sipping are the hardest for me, but I am still working on it. Thanks for all the support each of you give on this site. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!

Wow - you've really lost a lot in your pre-op phase! That's fantastic. And twenty years of taking meds - what a wonderful feeling it must have been to be told no more! Congratulations!! You body is really responding to the weight loss. Eating slowly and sipping are my toughest things too. That's not how I've done it for 40+ years. It's going to take some real presence of mind to remember. Started my pre-op diet today. This was a good post to read to keep me positive, because I'm HUNGRY. ;)

Good for you! ANd I second what the others said about losing well ahead of time. I lost 53lbs before surgery and am soooo glad. Now, people see me losing and won't notice as much and also I am dropping sizes already at 1 week out. I got the big sizes out of the way. I went shopping today and was buying 16's, 14's and 12's.....at one week post op!! I also recovered fast, not sure if that is the reason why, but I"m glad. You will be too.

[Congratulations SMG2011,:rolleyes:

that is fantastic news and so encouraging for the rest of us just starting our pre op diets. I have been following your lead and "practicing" eating the 'after surgery way' too. I have been trying really hard and am noticing some changes already. You must be soooooo delighted to be off your HBP medication. Do you have a date for your surgery yet?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
