I started my pre pre op ( the stage where I'm

Very conscious about what I eat) last Wednesday. I don't have to start my liquid diet until September 11. But I figured if I can get down 20 lbs by then..and another 20 on the liquids then surgery will be smooth sailing! Well when I weighed myself last Wednesday I was 278. I cut our carbs, stopped the sodas. Watched my Protein intake etc etc, on Sunday I stepped on the scale (I shouldn't have because I told myself I was weighing only once a week! I was discouraged to see that I was still 278! I became very depressed and got

Into the "why do I even bother" mode and ate normal again..ate the bread..had the soda. I weighed myself again today (Wednesday..one week later) and to my surprise I was 276!! I know it's only 2 lbs but its 2 lbs lost! I'm so inspired I had to share

This gave me whole new insight. I am back on the bandwagon of good health until my sleeve oct 2:)

That's awesome! Keep up the good work!

I know it has been said time and time again but I fell victim to the situation so.... Make sure to get plenty of calories! I'm 6'4" and started pre op at 380. I cut to 1200 health conscious calories a day and felt fine, no hunger, good energy, but I wasn't losing like I thought I would. So I upped it to 1600-1800 cals and upped the Water and I can't believe how quick I'm losing! My Fitness Pal reccomended around 2800 but I couldn't imagine eating that much (healthy) food!

Good for you!!!!
