Hi, I'm set for surgery May 21st. My doctor only has us doing liquid diet the day before the surgery, not two weeks, so I feel a bit lucky. No caffeine now, having my last Diet Pepsi today.

Very excited! We've got 1 week to go! I did my pre-op testing today and had boot camp yesterday. This sh*t is real now!

I have preop on Wednesday. It's an all day affair :) 5 days!!!

My best wishes!!! Life is giving you a second chance to start over and become a better person, not that you're not, but for me taking this step meant to stay longer for my family now I get to do a lot of activities that I couldn't before, even though I always was a good daughter, sister, etc.... I was being selfish by having all my love ones worry about my health and my life... CONGRATS.

Hi Rebecca! So happy to hear you're doing well! I'm also doing well. I am still on full liquids until Saturday, so I can't wait to have some cottage cheese! Energy level is about 3/4 of the way back to normal. Here's a little tmi, lol, today I was happy to finally have a bm since surgery on Thursday!

      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?
