I am having my surgery Monday, June 15 at Abington Memorial Hospital with Dr. Bonanni. I start the pre op diet Monday, June 1. I am anxious. I don't really know what to expect. I haven't been on this board much, but I am going to make an effort to do better there. I started this whole process in February 2015. Seems to have been a whirlwind of appointments so far. Thanks for listening.

Welcome and congrats on your surgery date! You have already made a big decision by having the surgery. Research, research, research. The more informed you are the less nervous you will be. We are all here for you and I can definitely tell you that for me, being on this forum and speaking up is a wonderful support system.

Welcome! You can do this! This forum is one of the best support groups I've found. The pre-op diet has not been too bad at all. Not nearly as horrible as I'd imagined.

Welcome, @margied804--I'm having surgery the same day, but at Einstein in East Norriton! I start my pre-op diet Monday, too--I weaned myself off caffeine over the past month, and I've been trying to incorporate Protein Shakes into my diet so it's not a huge shock to my system. My nerves are starting to get to me, too, but I've found that reading these boards had been a huge help in knowing what to expect from the surgery. Good luck!

Almost complete week one of liquid diet. Lost 8 pounds and was easier than I thought. Down 41 pounds overall since March. Doctor wanted me to lose 40 prior to surgery. Very excited. Getting my hair cut short today followed by a pedicure. Hope everyone enjoys the beautiful day today!

It is really not as hard as you think. I've been drinking a shake for Breakfast and a bar for morning snack. Same for afternoon. Lots of liquids. Save meals for dinner time sugar free Popsicles help as well. Losing a pound or two a day with this regimen

      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
