Today I stepped on the scale and it read 285.8. Never again will it be that high. Today I start my pre preop diet. 40-45 grams of carbs. No refined sugars, no pop. Then in a few weeks I will begin the liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery. I'm really hoping that I can go into surgery weighing 265 or less. Regardless of the number, today is the day I begin to take charge. From now on my pants will never be tighter than the last time I put them on. Today I begin winning the battle! Who's with me?

Keep it up as you detox... the first few days are the hardest. Have a plan, stick with the plan, record all food and liquid, and drink Water.

It will get better...

Perfect mindset going into your pre-op. I was where you are a little over a year ago. Best decision I ever made for myself.

Best of luck!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
