So today I had my last nutrition visit (my ins requires 3 month diet) and also my last shrink visit. They said everything looked great and I should be ready to submit to ins which could take about 2 weeks. So right now I'm tentatively set for May 13 and I'm so excited. Anyone else scheduled for May 13th?

Hi, I'm scheduled for 5.01.13 I started my preop diet 04.09.13. Can't believe I have a weEk behind me.

Preop diet: 2 Protein shakes at Breakfast, lunch with 2 1-2 oz Protein snack and for dinner is 6 oz lean meat w/cup of green veggies. I have to say this has been very difficult for me. I am doing better now, but those first 3 days were a killer for me. As hard as it is I am truly grateful for having to do it. This has taught me how much I need to deal with emotionally and how I need to change food from being a friend to being a source of nutrition. I never realized how much I used food as a sedation substance. I lived off of junk food, and actually think I've been addicted to their additives.

I do not want to be a prisoner to food and this is the first step in the process of freeing myself from prison. I'm so excited about upcoming surgery and I know in my heart I'm on my way. I realize there will be pain, trials, learning experiences and major changes in my relationship with food. BRING IT ON!

      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
