I haven't done anything at all. I got the news about my surgery date just this morning. I've been kinda silently freaking out :lol: since about 11 am. Before this, I had a vague thought of what I'd do once I got the date. . .but after it became a reality. . .I began the silent freak out. . . What do I do first?!?! :o I have a pretty sedentary job. I sit at a desk all day. Very minimal activity or moving around. So, I'll be out for surgery the first week. But the second week, i'll work from home. Planning to go back to work physicially on the 3rd week after surgery. I'm hoping all goes well and I'll feel up to it. I'm just afraid I'm not ready.

Ive mainly been freaking out about all the stuff I CAN'T have after surgery. Am I really ready to give up chocolate and ice cream. . . Then the next few minutes I feel like, I've enjoyed those things for so many years and now look where it's gotten me. But it still doesn't take away this huge mind game i'm playing on myself.

I'm sorry. . .I'm rambling. . .so glad I have this forum to help 'release'. :blink:

What I'm struggling with now is the idea of quitting smoking. I've smoked since I was 17 years old. Yes I know it's bad for me but I wasn't prepared to give up food and smoking at the same time!!! Yesterday was my last cigarette. Giving up food seems like a minor thing in comparison. I guess I'm distracted now so it's a good thing. Do you smoke?

Well, I don't smoke. But I do like to go out to eat a lot with my friends and family. Seems like any occasion is centered by a big meal or Snacks. Every birthday party, family get together, the first thing we plan is what are we going to eat! I only have 7 days pre-op liquid diet. Yesterday, my husband and I went to eat and for dessert I had an ice cream. All I could think of is . . .do I really want to give this up?!?! I know it's a terrible thing and that's what has gotten me to the size I am. . .this unhealthy food addiction.

My surgery is May 7th! I started liquid diet yesterday, which consist of Protein Shakes, broth, sf Popsicles and Jello. Only 800-1000 calories a day and no caffeine. I had a headache that turned into a migraine:( today I feel much better. I also uses Bariatric Advantage vanilla and you need a good blender for the right consistency. If I over blend it gets foamy. I would love to follow others having surgery the same week. :)

Is the liquid diet strictly liquids, no food?

Wow that would be awful. The doctors sent me a list that allows two frozen Meal Replacements ( weight watchers or something similar) two Protein Drinks, a sugar free Jello and a fruit a day for my pre-op diet. Don't know if that will change when I have my pre-op appointment on 'May 5th.

      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?

      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
