Best of luck and prayers for an uncomplicated and quick recovery!! You'll do great. Don't worry about what others say, they aren't 'you'. :-)

October 22 is my sleeve surgery day also!! I'll be going in at 7:30am for my surgery. I'm praying that this liquid diet gets easier after surgery. I'm soooooo sick of the liquid only diet, but I can suffer for a month or 2 and live a much better life. I'd prefer to be hungry for a month and later be able to stand to see pictures of myself, then eat the burger I'm craving now, and still hate every pic I'm in.

Anyway, Good luck with your surgery! Hopefully, after surgery neither of us will be hungry at all and we'll be looking sexy soon!!

I can relate to what you're saying! I'm so sick of diets, diet pills, giving up, feeling like a failure, feeling like I'm not good enough. My self esteem has suffered being overweight. I made this decision because I'm over it! I'm ready to make these changes in my life so I can be healthy and stop feeling so down about myself

Tomorrow for me, too! Guzzling Water as we speak. We are almost there but can't help but be nervous. Once I get to the hospital I think I might chill out a little knowing this part of my journey is ending and when I wake up a new one begins. Best wishes to all the 10/22's!

Well I had my surgery on 10/22 and I'm already feeling better! I'm so happy I've done this! I've already had my first weight loss sign! I guess in the week before surgery and the 5 days since I've lost enough weight on liquids to make my fingers shrink. I can no longer keep my wedding bands on. They fell off a few times yesterday so now I've just put them in a safe place until I can get them resized. I'm so ready to start losing weight and living my life to the fullest!

      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
