And for some reason I still feel as though it's not going to happen. I'm excited! My doctor didn't tell me to go on a liquid diet for these past two weeks and I've notice a bunch of people that say how it was necessary. I'm hoping this wont interfere with tomorrow. I was just told to eat light. Ah well yeah. I'm just excited and wanted to share. Hope all is well with everyone!

Good luck. My surgery was last Wednesday. You will do great. And don't worry my docs at Yale said there is no need for a liquid diet 2 weeks before. Losing any weight is always helpful because it makes the liver smaller. Less complications.

You will do great. Use the pain meds if needed. And walk when u can

Congrats on the surgery! And thank you. I was very curious about the whole pre-op liquid diet thing. Anyway how are you feeling since the surgery? I'm hoping to be able to move around by Friday. Is there any hope for me? Haha

Good luck with your surgery! I'm scheduled for 4/12 and have no idea what I'm doing. My doc asked my hubby and I to go on the South Beach diet, phase 1 (which means no carbs).

My surgeon only had me do all liquids the day before surgery. Everything was fine. I had a little bit of nausea the day of surgery but that's to be expected for most. Love love love my decision! Congratulations and get ready for a new and amazing life!

Hey guys! Thanks for the replies and encouragement! I had my operation at 10am and I'm now here in the recovery room watching the office on my phone. Haha I'm so bored and I've slept enough that I'm worried I won't be able to fall back asleep later. The only thing I have to complain about is how sore my stomach and back are. I want to get up and walk around but I'm not allowed to till later. Can't wait to go home to have some chicken broth. I'm actually craving some :)

      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?

      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
