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....

You are truly blessed. That was so sweet.

You could say "thank you for your concern". Then just leave it at that. She would not know how much research you have done about this. The time and effort you have spent getting ready for your surgery. The way you feel about your body and past failed dieting regimes. She has crossed a boundary and you should be wary of her in the future. It is good to have somewhere to vent isn't it? I have a dog - he gets a lot of my venting!

I hear it almost everyday! I even had a trainer suggest that I postpone my surgery date to work out with him. NOT! They'll be the same people complimenting us 6 months from now. ;-)

Put a countdown timer on my phone. I am so emotional, surgery is August 19, and I have days where I'm super excited and others where I'm scared. I worked really hard at getting my approval, tried 10 years ago but got denied and I was beat up by the appeal process, so I let it go. I got married again to wonderful man and lived my life but always felt like I wasn't living a quality life. So I tried again this year and finally got my approval. Start my liquid pre-op diet next Monday along with my pre-op testing, then 2 weeks till my surgery. I'm praying for no complications and for this next few weeks to fly by! Anyone else feeling emotional, and all over the place?

      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?
