Was not totally compliant with pre-op diet. Now I have to go weigh in and see if I can still have sleeve done Wednesday. I pray I can. If I can't do it now, I don't think another week will help. I've waited so long. I'm scared to fail.

Don't even think of the possibility of failure! You can do this! And YOU will succeed!!

Well. I'm on day 10 of liver shrinking. The proverbial half way point. I've been pretty good. Only cheat i had was about 2 kernels of popcorn at the cinema stolen from a mate (i had a tub of blackberries from my allowances and a bottle of sparkling Water as my movie snack) and a postage stamp sized piece of potato bread.< /p>

All in all I have been a good boy so far and can't see myself deviating too much in the next ten days. Still have to try harder with the Protein Shakes though. Sick to the eye teeth of them now but hey ho.

Anybody else gearing for surgery on the 1st of October? I'd love to find a buddy who is getting "knifed" same day as me! :)

To the journey ahead folks and if anybody has just had theirs done and is reading this in a hospital bed then I command you to smile and then take a little walk in my honour.

To the future

Just wanted to let you know, how much I enjoy reading your posts. You have a wonderful sense of humor! :)

I am approaching the final days of my pre-op diet, and really it wasn't so bad. My surgery is scheduled for this Monday, Sept. 21st, today I have my final visit with surgeon & anesthesiologist. Yay!! :D

Here is to a better, healthier, future for all of us!

      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?
