I had my pre op appointment this morning! Labs and tour of the surgerical facility, went over the game plan and met with the surgeron. I lost 10 pounds on my pre-op diet and my tummy went down a little bit yay!!. I'm so excited yet so nervous. This is really happening, all set for Tuesday at 5:30am. My parents and surgeon are really excited for me. I'm 25 years old and BMI is 58.5, it's time I take back my life and start living again. Can't wait to start my new life :)

Congratulations!!! Best wishes and a speedy recovery to you!!! How did you do with the preop liquid diet? Did you have to do 2 weeks? Mind sharing what you did to get through? My preop visit is on April 13 (FRIDAY) :unsure: and I am assuming they will want me to start that Saturday or Monday ~ My family has already discussed the "LAST SUPPER" ~ We're having Thanksgiving in April :) and then it's off to the new me!!!

Thank you ladies! @VSG30815 I'm not going to lie, the pre op diet is challenging. Mine is Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and for dinner a palm sized meal. Water in between. It's all mental really. I started this past weekend (suppose to do 2 weeks but I got derailed the first week :( ) and I've lost 10 pounds and my tummy has shrank a little bit (surgeon says thats a good sign that the liver will be good). What has helped me when I was wanting to eat a snack is sugar free Jello. I also used straws to drink water and the Protein shake (EAS Advantedge Chocolate) which help me savor it more. The first 3 days are the hardest but then your body gets used to it and you feel less hunger and more full. One of my mentors told me no matter how much it sucks and you want to go run to Mcdonalds and get something you don't need sticking to the diet as much as possible is worth it. Last thing you want to happen is get on the table and your surgeon say no go because your liver is too big. Unforuantely they will know you did what you were suppose to do or not, that's what motivated me to stick to the plan. I'm terrified of being that person that has to reschedule. Good luck to you on your surgery :)

      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
