I am Sept 23 as well! Had my last pre op appt today. When the nurse weighed me she said "this is the last time you will weigh this much". Wow' date=' I can hardly imagine.

I start 2 week liquids on Monday - I get 3 oz of Lean Protein twice in the two weeks and all the non starchy veg I want. I am going to make a pot of WW 0 point veg Soup and eat that in addition to my Protein Shakes. It tastes really good and is filling.[/quote']

My diet starts on the 18th. But I'm thinking of maybe starting on the 16th. I can have one Protein Shake a day if it gets really bad. I've never heard of the WW 0 point soup. I'll google it :) I need recipes!

The pre-op diet? It's not bad but I'm on it for 2 weeks.. it's only day 2 and I'm trying to find ways to have vegetables Lol.. I'm used to some rice or noodles or shrimp in there! I guess I just have to get used to it... After surgery will be worse

Thanks for the support, I guess the reason I feel like I am second guessing myself I will only have 10 day off from work. Then work two weeks and fly out to Las Vega for my daughters wedding. From what I have read and heard, you are not able to eat much at all I have not told anyone about me getting surgery. I don't want others to know what I am doing. My doctor told said "what are you going to tell your co-worker and family when they notice your weight lost"?

When I had my lapband and lost 80 lbs, I didnt tell most co-workers and many family members for the first 7-8 months, then I didnt care!!

      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?
