I really needed to read this post today! I am guilty! I am 6 days to surgery and I have been struggling with this liquid diet. My mind keeps telling me to eat everything you enjoy, cause you will not have a chance after surgery. I fell off today. :-(

I am going to get my act together! Surgery is next Monday 11/19 @ 7am.

I found out my surgery date a little over a week ago and everything is happening so fast!!!!

Keep me in your prayers.

My Surgery is scheduled for 11-27-2012. I woke up this morning and think I have sinus infections. I can get to doctor and get meds but is this going to have my surgery cancelled? Has anyone had this happen?

Keep me in your prayers.

This is a lie, you WILL eventually be able to eat everything you are eating now, post op. Some of them won't be right away and some might be a few years out, but like anything - nothing lasts forever. Work on getting your head straight, this is a mind game! :)

You are in my prayers, for sure.

      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?
