Yes.. I have started the dreaded pre op. The worst part has been the caffeine headaches. First couple of days were awful but I'm making it. I haven't had any caffeine and I think that has been the worst. However I was told to drink lots of Fluid so I believe that has helped. I also started walking an hour a day just to fill my lungs and pump my heart. I know my body is saying why are you punishing me lol. Anyways it will all be good in the end!

That's wonderful then! My appetite comes and goes. After work is the hardest. Just trying to keep my eyes on the prize :)

Tried to start my pre-op a day early yesterday and all was good until I got home after work. I stopped at fast food joint and gobbled a #2 meal. What's funny is that it made me sick to eat it; like my body was rejecting it and saying "no don't eat that crap" with every bite. My husband was like "see that's what u get"!

I also was STARVED after a day at work running around and then not prepared enough with something to eat, also got fast food, but was a chicken salad at Wendy's ... Oh well, wiser today, and am more prepared. The good news is the coffee headaches are almost gone. :)

@ db1982 What is the pre op diet you're following? I would like to start a 7 day now and follow that with the 3 day yogurt and Water diet that is required by my doctor. I think it will help me get into the right mindset and start breaking bad habits!

Try to relax and not worry so much, I know the plane missing is scary but your chances of being in a airplane crash is so unlikely, you are so much more likely to be in a car accident. I have flown a lot and never even had a scare. You will be fine, you will get through this and start your new healthy life!

We'll all be thinking about you, stay in touch, we're all here to support one another.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
