Tomorrow I start my one week of liquids and I have to say this is stressing me out more than the surgery itself! I work two jobs plus have a family. I can't imagine how I might feel and the thought of liquids only while still having to work and do all my normal things is freaking me out!

I'm in Scotland, UK - and the waiting lists are crazy - they kept saying that they had other priorities, and other areas had to be done first - they only had slots for X amount per financial year.. I have to say though, that despite the wait - it has been worth it. You won't regret your decision!

Well, I got my first day of liquids done and I didn't feel bad at all. Tomorrow should be interesting. I'm sure I will be ravenous by then. If I'm lucky the rest of the days will hopefully be this easy.

Well' date=' I got my first day of liquids done and I didn't feel bad at all. Tomorrow should be interesting. I'm sure I will be ravenous by then. If I'm lucky the rest of the days will hopefully be this easy.[/quote']

Some days seem so easy and others are pretty rough. I cannot find a pattern of why when analyzing what i have eaten. I do have a shake in the evening so i do not wake up hungry. That does seem to help start the day correctly. I am also trying to not let myself get too hungry for fear of not staying true to the plan. Good luck and hang in there. We can do anything needed to get to the 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?
