You can do this! I'm entering my 2nd week of pre op diet and it's tough but I'm fighting hard. It was initially supposed to be 1 week but I had to my surgery rescheduled to next week. The pre op diet is more mental than anything. Encourage yourself when you start second guessing and don't be scared to ask for your support system to encourage you!

I certainly wondered if it work, if I would succeed, if it was the right decision, should I do this? I had been overweight so long I just couldn't see myself any other way than morbidly obese. I was afraid to hope. But I really, really was tired of my life like it was, and WANTED to lose weight. So I took the leap with a fear that it would just be another failed attempt at weight loss.

Something happened to me in the first few months. I saw success, and you know what they say about that - success begets success. I started to see that just maybe, it could work, even for me, a career fattie.

Fast forward three and a half years, and yes, it "worked." Actually, what happened is that I worked. The sleeve made it easier, and the metabolic reset that happens after WLS is a gift. It is up to us what we do with it. Some have greater success than others, and some have to work harder, but generally speaking, if you put in the work you will be rewarded!

Thank you for this word of advice, you just described me to a tee. You really gave me hope. Thank you. Kim

I was afraid I would be the only person the sleeve didn't work for, because no matter what I did before I couldn't loose much weight, but if you follow the plan, it works.

hang in there. I think the first 2 weeks po are the hardest part. *head games* it's brutal.

@@Christinamo7 can you please elaborate about the 2 weeks post op and "head games"? I want to prepare. Thanks!

well, you've just changed your life, and there's the post op healing and liquid diet. but you think you're hungry. truth is if you tried to eat you wouldn't be able to fit it really. your hormones start going weird. it is a lot to adjust to.

with any other diet you can quit if you decide to, but with this you're in for a penny, in for a pound at the beginning anyway.

I am one week post-op and I am totally gripped by the head games. I love movies. All I have been thinking about all day is eating popcorn and mozzarella sticks. I'll be going home for my grandmother's funeral and I thought more about all of my favorite places to eat than I have about her death. All I think about is the food I could be eating if not for the surgery. Luckily, I realize it's just a head game, and I hope it subsides soon. Eventually, I'll be able to eat those things again-- but in much, much more moderated way.

      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...

      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
