I finally told my kids' date=' my son is so positive and supportive my daughter feels like I should try another diet this will be a life change. I have issues with my health insurance from work. Pretty much they have told me do something drastic to bring down your BMI under 40 or you will not be able to afford the insurance or they might drop you. Because of 2014 Obamacare, I was very sick last year with a brain aneurysm, the insurance thinks it was because of being over weight. I think it was from taking 1600 Motrin and I have always had low blood pressure. Oh well, my surgery is scheduled for Sept 4th. UGH I am scared.[/quote']

I'm thinking of you and wish you the best.

I'm curious, because I see people blame everything on Obamacare and it just befuddles me. You got sick because of Obamacare? The insurance wouldn't have thought you would have gotten a brain aneurysm if you weren't overweight without Obamacare in place?

Is your surgery on the 4th, like mine? I sure am glad my doctor doesn't require that kind of pre-surgery diet! I just have to do three days with a couple of Protein Shakes, some Protein Snacks, and a dinner of 6 oz lean poultry or fish and 2 cups of salad greens with fat free vinaigrette. Then fast after midnight the night before surgery. Anyway, my sympathies. It is cruel and unusual punishment to make you do Clear Liquids before surgery when you still have your appetite!

I did that today. Not nearly as bad as I expected. Of course I started the magnesium citrate at noon, so eating wasn't all that appealing. All I could get down today was 1 clear Protein Shake, a bowl of broth, and a sf popsicle.

You'll get through. It's just one more sign the surgery is right around the corner : )

Not even clear Protein here. Sf Popsicles, sf Jello, and broth! Yes the 4th for me. 38 hour in fact!

      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
