    My first post right here!!! I'm getting very very EXCITED. I'm doing some pre op stuff this friday and Saturday. Should have a date right after that. Think it will be first week of nov. I haven't been given a pre op diet yet. I'm afraid I AM letting myself enjoy my favorite meals to excess right now. I keep reading that is sabotage. Currently I am 267. 5'7". I have always "carried my weight well" and I lied myself into believing it was ok because it was "in the right places". THOSE PLACES NOW RUNNETH OVER! lol I am SO happy and excited. I was having some worries but after seeing so many wonderfully happy successful stories I am just anxious to get started. How long is the pre op diet??

    The pre op diet was 7 days for me.. The first 5 days were to eat nothing but protein and veggies and then the last 2 days were straight liquid and then drink the stuff to clean you out. And I had my surgery and for 3 days After surgery I was still on liquids and the 4th day out I got to have mashed potatoes! And I have a diet to follow for eight weeks to get my tummy back to regular food! After surgery make sure you walk! Recovery was a breeze for me I went back to work quick. I had my surgery on a Monday and went back to work that Saturday. I just couldn't lift anything over 10lbs. I went in weighing 275 and 7 weeks out I'm down 35 pounds. It gets easier eating. But still only can have like 5 bites depending on what I'm eating! Listen to your body for sure, if you ignore it you'll be sick trust me haha.
