Ready or not here it is! I refuse to fail ! Definitely going to take measurements today and right before. My starting weight is 275 now. The scale at work said 273 but the dr offices said 275 so ill go by that! hoping ill be 260 by surgery date!

Awesome! Enjoy the process. I loved the preop phase... It was HARD but during my preop diet, I proved to myself that I could do this!

Thanks for the.encouragement! This forum really has been alot of help! 14 days without solid food has been hard to process but im ready now thankfully!

what day is your surgery. My date is oct 8. I start my liquid next week. A little nervous but excited to start this journey. Let me know how it goes.

Were right next to each other! Mine is oct 7th

It's hard to watch people eat around you, but if you can do the pre-op I agree you can change your life style. It honestly it does amazing wonders for you after surgery. I am comparing when I had my lap band placed, and then when I did my gastric sleeve. It is only up hill from here, and you CAN do it!!!

Thanks! It really is gonna be a challenge considering my husband eats what he wants and is of course pretty fit! But he said he will try to start eating better with me so that helps!

I was in the same boat as you with my boyfriend, he can eat what ever when ever and still losses weight. When I planned my meal plan for the week, we planned one for him and that seemed to help. I think what helped also is I had a list of things I wanted to get done before surgery, so if I couldn't handle the smell (meaning I wanted to eat what he was having) I would go to my list and work on my to do list.

That's the right mind set to succeed the pre-op liquid diet and have great success post-op. Good luck!!

Thanks!!

I hope we will be able to do that! He buys terrible groceries.right after I buy healthy stuff so hopefully I can get him to stop that! He is a big snacker!

Todays the day 14 days...i got this!

Let me know how day one goes. I'm starting on Thursday. This might be the hardest part of this journey. No food for 12 days is scary.

Well im halfway thru the day...super hungry doesnt help they brought fiesta chicken to work but we have a gym at work so im in,here on the.bike for now.not my break room lol

Good for you. I may ban food in my office for the week when I start to fast. Lol. Good luck. I'm trying to start preparing myself mentally. So today only breakfast and lunch and one shake. Tomorrow just breakfast. We will see how it goes.

Lol im tryin.! Id ban it if I could for sure ..i only did 10 min real light on the bike.. Ive seen the difference working out and not working out does for the belly flap so ive been tryin to get some work in now!
