Thank you! You're right it's not a sprint. I had such a hard time losing those 10 pounds I thought I was doomed.

I know what you mean. I had to lose 10 to 15 pounds before they would do surgery. I was put on a low carb diet for 7 months prior to getting a date.

You are the first I have heard the June surgery date. Mine is June 6. I can't wait. I have already started my own pre-op pre-op diet so my body doesn't go into shock.

My surgeon said nothing about pre-op diet. What kind of pre-op diet are your doing on your own?

Thanks!

My preop diet is 2 weeks before surgery I have to replace Breakfast with a Protein shake lunch and supper will be 4 oz lean meat and a cup of cooked veggies or 2 cups raw. That is for a week then for 5 days it is 4 shakes a day then 2 days it is Clear liquids only then the night before is nothing.

My preop preop diet is a shake for lunch and a reasonably healthy Breakfast and dinner. Just to keep me from getting sick or a bad headache if I went cold turkey.

      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?
