Right now all I am doing to prepare is wrapping up the financial paper work, looking at flights, and waiting from Ishi, my facilitator to send my pre op diet. I went through Beliteweight.com with Dr. Jose Rodriquez, and I will say it was the only place I could find that would finance me with my lower credit score. I will be in a real hospital, the Star Medica in Juarez versus a surgery facility, one of my requirements...

June 24 in north jersey

2 week pre op diet of 2 shakes and liquids and one lean meal a day

I am easing into that by starting now with leaner meals then replacing lunch with a shake then ease further and further.

The anxiety is heaviest when I am home and not working like today. When I am working I can manage to distract myself

My date for sleeve is June 17. I have not met. With the dr yet for final pre-op diet. Hope it is a short one! Sounds like it can run the gambit from 1 month to only a day out! Keeping my fingers crossed. I do have shakes bought and am trying to get used to those. Gotta admit... They are not so tasty.

I have purchased some SF pudding jellos, different flavors. I was told these and SF syrups are also helpful. I have purchased various flavors and will experiment t with both the pudding and syrups after my surgery. I hear our tastes change drastically so will wait until post op to play with the various options. Anything has to be better then just the plain Protein Drink. Ha!

Just got my chike sample pack in mail. Waiting on Unjury sample pack now. Everyone on other boards love the unjury unflavored powder. I also have tried other shakes. I have used Soymilk (no off brand or its still bad) to add to my shakes. It tastes so good. It's like a shake from sonic. The soy is sweeter and a whole lot healthier. Never thought I would ever try soy but I did and now I love it in everything. Even my daughter loves it in Cereal and coffee instead of buying sweetened cereals. Now we have healthy cereal for her and she gets sweet taste from soy milk.

      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
