M scheduled for my surgery April 26th and I was curious to see who else would be walking in the shoes of April with me. Tell me how you feeling? What's on your mind? Any worries? Second thoughts?

I'm scheduled for April 15 pending insurance approval and preop clearance. Excited but nervous. My surgeon is not requiring me to do a preop liquid diet but I'm thinking about trying a few days here and there of liquids only just to see if I can do it and to try and make the post off diet transition a little easier.

Okay so here I am again reporting my update.

Surgery day: 4-27-2012

Highest weight: 346

Pre-op weight:330

Current weight:199.7 as of this morning!! Yahoooo I'm in the 1's. I haven't been here since I was a teen. Wow! Just wow...

60 lbs lost is still amazing, so congrats!

I don't know what your starting weight was, but I was a heavy weight at 330 lbs, and we tend to lose a bit quicker. But it's definitely tapering off. I have to WORK for these lbs to fall off, and I don't mind putting it in.

I try to get in at least 70 g Protein a day, exercise as much as possible, drink 112 oz of Water each and everyday, and I stick to the program 85% of the time. I do fall off the wagon but never for long. I've got goals to reach and you will reach yours, too. I keep hearing that's it's not a race, but Marathon and I'm finding that to be oh'so true You'll get there. Just stick to the plan.

Thanks my starting weight was 255

Sleeved April 20th 2012. SW 242.2, CW 150.0 so down 92.2lbs so far! I'm anxious to hit the 100lbs mark but my weight loss has slowed down quite a bit. I still have trouble with dense meats, especially chicken, but I don't regret a thing!! Congrats to all of us for our success!!

Surgery day: 04-09-2012 Highest weight: 283 Current weight:187.4 as of yesterday. So close to 100 lbs. and just 42 lbs from goal. Yay!

Does anyone else worry a lot about stretching your stomach? What does it feel like and how would I know if I was stretching it?
