Good morning to all! I officially started my 14-day pre-op diet today. :-)

I think I made a mistake of drinking a bottle of Water after I had my AM Protein Shake. Now, I feel lightheaded. Looking forward to another shake and small salad for lunch.

Good luck to everyone who starts their diet this week. Also, prayers up for everyone being sleeved 8/1 and 8/2. Keep us updated. ;-)

Honestly.....easy to say but....it gets easier I'm on day 7 of liquids and the first couple days I really was rethink my choice!!! My NUT said the headaches can be caffeine related....she told me to take a couple drinks of BLaCK coffee to ease them.....and low and behold it worked!!!!! Headache went away and I felt much better!! Call your doctor they can really help :)

Two greatest moments of Day 1 in my pre-op diet:

1. My co-worker chose not mention that there was pizza for everyone in our office's kitchen area. :Avoided temptation:

2. Watching my 5-year old son push his cake away to eat SF Jello with me. :-)

Taking things day by day....

      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
