I have no appetite and most food didn't sit well so I mostly due liquid protean.

@ all, thanks I do feel awesome, unending energy, all previous conditions gone but now I have gout lol

You have gout do to too much protein. Yeah I was border line with Hoyt but thankfully my levels regulated themselves.

I feel like I am stuck at my current weight. I've been stressing so much with life and I've been tempted to eat junk food. The only good thing is I can't binge eat like I use to but I have made some bad food choices.

I am trying to stop that real quick cause I don't want to defeat the purpose of the surgery.

We all make bad choices sometimes. Just get back on track. You can do it. Look how far you have come. Good luck!

Checking

I bring the rare position (according to my doc) that there are not a lot of 60-year-old guys opting for this surgery. Over the next three weeks i will have stomach scoping, cardio and pulmonary exams as well as the psyche evaluation. Current weight is 402. Doc says I should plan on getting down to 200. I am soooo excited

I wish you the best, it's not an easy path but it can be very rewarding.

Well, I am 55, had surgery on 9/11/12 highest was 344 and now down to 310, on mostly liquids still, some puréed, cannot stand chicken anymore, but tuna with LOTS of mayo(makes it moist) is great!

Getting water all day still pain in ass!
