Well this California Italian girl tries to get Soup or meatballs. And fools with her food... And no one seems to notice if i don't make a big deal of special food.

Sorry to mention that eating is not half the fun, exciting, entertaining, hours of eating and drinking it previously was. Yet my body thanks me daily for being healthy.

Sigh ... I guess I just can't have it all..... Literally!

Hi Julie I'm Italian from California too. I just moved in SoCal 12 yrs ago. I still cook all the Italian meals for my kids and husband, it's very hard to work so hard and then can't eat. But I finally eat 2 slices of homemade pizza tonight/ I don't enjoy food like before ????

As a person from an Italian family, I do not agree with any of the other people so far. I only agree with you -- liquid diet only and tell everyone you are on a full liquid diet. Your best bet is to eat NOTHING AT ALL bc those Italian food pushers are very persuasive....they will be telling you that you can have anything "soft"....cannoli filling, cheesecake, and other kinds of yummies. I was a victim of a similar situation after I had my lapband surgery and succumbed to eating something that I shouldn't have and spent 45 minutes vomiting my guts up. Then everyone speculated that I had an eating disorder :-) Yeah, 110 lbs overweight and I don't eat---THAT'S A GOOD ONE! Point is, better safe than sorry.

FYI, I, too, am not telling most. Very judgmental family and friends. Have only told husband and one friend.

I live in NYC in the winter and am in NJ (Long Branch) in the summer. I have my last appt with my surgeon tomorrow and then submission to my insurance so hoping to have a date in the next few weeks.

Good luck!

@@jthenry -- yes, bring a shake or have it before you arrive--its the only way :-) feeling everyone's pain in this regard. I have many functions coming up this summer and I am going to be fresh out of surgery so it seems we will all be in the same boat. Great that we have such a great support system!

I plan on bringing shakes and using the liquid diet excuse it's a fad right now anyway. So many people are on this Protein shake cleanse diets. I just got my surgery date and it looks like I'm in for April 28th I'm so excited. 2 weeks after my surgery I am the chaperone for my sons kindergarten class trip to the local zoo. If I seam off or tired while there to the other moms etc I planning on saying I just a hernial repair. Lol idk I'm still in the air with the surgery excuse I'm going to use but I know chances are I'm going to have to say something about having a surgery it just won't be the whole truth again lol. Good luck!!!

      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
