I felt the same way. What was most compelling on my mind was that it was PERMANENT, no going back. But, at my age of 56, and wanting to be around for my kids and grandkids, it was a purposeful decision that I don't regret.

One especially interesting aspect of the pre-op liquid diet is that you can loose some serious weight. I lost 30 lbs just on the 2 week liquid diet. That jump starts mental acceptance, at least did for me.

My surgery went well it's been 3 weeks and I'm recovering very well... The two lower incisions are the most painful and take the longest to heal but it's not something I can't handle.... My doctor told me I can go back to work on light duty for about 3 weeks and that I can go to the gym... I just have to be careful with my core... I was told that at two months I would feel completely healed... Can't wait :)) the toughest thing I'm going through is finding foods I can purée and enjoy as well :))

      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
