I'm April 28th and going crazy!

My pre-op diet was getting the best of me. I cheated, but got back on the saddle.

A ball of every emotion possible. Monday, for me, can't come fast enough!

I woke up today and said 6 more days to go *wowzers*

Good luck!!

It's mind over matter. You can do this! Remember why you're doing this and picture the end result. A new life is ahead of you.

Try to stay busy and if you're a praying woman - P-R-A-Y *hugs*

Today is day 7 of my preop diet and it seems to be getting a little easier!!! I can have 4 prepackaged "New Direction" (like optifast) diet foods a day, plus 4 oz. lean meat and unlimited green veggies. The diet food is pretty bad but the serving of meat and veggies helps. Plus unlimited sugar free Jello, popsicles and crystal light. I am so ready for my surgery it's not even funny. I have moved from scared, to anxious, to slightly nervous, to impatient! LOL

To answer your question, not trying to be gross, as soon as I started the clear liquid diet, I went into cleansing mode. Then, they made me drink Miralax the night before my surgery and it got worse till there was nothing left. Now, 6 days post op, I'm still on a clear liquid diet for two weeks, so it started over again two days after my surgery. My dr said it's normal and will get better when I'm able to add all liquids and some items of substance. So again, not trying to be gross or discouraging but want to be completely honest based on my experience thus far. Good luck! Just follow their instructions and you should do well.

I pray it doesnt last the rest of the week or I will be stuck in the house. Eye on the prize so its tolerable but oh my how I wish it would stop.

Today is officially 2 weeks since I've had my surgery! Time flys!!! I went back to work yesterday (office job). Everything went fine all day as far as pain goes. Around 1pm I started getting tired. By the end of the day I was exhausted! Today is about the same! But other then that everything's good! My incisions are healing really nicely. 2 are completely closed up & look great. 3 others are about 3/4 of the way closed up. I'm not feeling hungry, but have been mentally "wanting" to eat. I hope everyone is doing great & those having surgery soon best of luck to u all! :)

      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
