I sarted my preop diet last Thursday (I have a 4 week diet). So, right now i'm on high Protein, low carb, low fat, sugar etc. I have not told anyone I'm having surgery because I think that's my own business.

My hubby and I went to his sisters for a bbq sunday evening. When I got there I told everyone I was on a diet. My sister in law kept trying to convince me to have a "cheat day" and eat whatever I wanted. I kept saying no thanks. She just wouldn't let up ... "my friend is a body builder and one cheat day a week is good for you, you need it ... blah blah".

I stood my ground. I had a burger (no bun) and salad. I felt good after. Not bloated. I felt like I was making a conscious decision to eat healthy and not give in to peer pressure.

Anyone else had a similar experience?

I know I do all the time. My family loves to eat. Every side of the family too - but I just tell them that I don't eat sugar or something like that. Mind you, I've been eating the same for a long time so no one mentions it anymore. They already know. Eventually they will get used to the new you and the comments should for the most part start to dwindle. :)

Not yet but I'm sure I will have a few of those as I have a group of coworkers I usually hang out with for lunch and drinks after work.

Good for you on standing your ground. You know your goal and what you need to do. Good luck and keep up the good work.

I'm with you every step of the way!!!!!! June 30 will be in here in no time.

My immediate family knows I am having the surgery. I have not told my in-laws, though. I have the same problem when we get together. I, too, stand my ground. I stick to what I am supposed to eat. I actually enjoy not feeling bloated or sick to my stomach. They love food, so it is difficult for them to understand. Stay strong! They will stop pushing at some point ????

      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...

      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
