How's everyone doing on their preop diets?? So far, so good here. The 3rd and 4th day were the worst, but it does get better after that. Drink your water! Especially during these hot summer months! It makes a huge difference, I am finding. On a separate note....i lost 9 lbs. in 5 days!!!! WHAT!!??? lol I know it's mostly water weight, but so encouraging.

I have Dr. Primomo

It is day two of preop and doing well aside from the desire to nibble when cooking for the rest of the family. Uggh. My darling husband refuses to cook outside the kitchens of Whataburger, Papa Murphey's, and pizza Hut. I suppose I've spoiled him.

I really like how this was an August 2015 thread and it's now an August 2016 thread.

The first post says 6-27-16

@@Pink Ninja I'm 10 months and 11 days post op. I've lost 163 pounds since surgery and 218 pounds since I started this journey. My weight loss has slowed wayyyyyyy down, mostly because I've been laid up recovering from knee surgery for two months, so that's a bit of a bummer. However, even though I'm still 224 pounds and about 50 pounds away from my goal, I'm happy to be here. My life has changed drastically in the last year and a half, and I have changed drastically as well. I used to wear a 4x top and size 32 jeans (which were sometimes snug!) and now I wear a large or 1x top and size 18 jeans. By all accounts, I'm still "fat". But I feel amazing, I look VERY different, and many things in my life have improved. I'm going back to school to finish my degree in August, and I don't fear walking up to the building from the parking lot or climbing two flights of stairs anymore. I just got a tattoo to Celebrate all of my effort and change. I'm excited to see wonderful things happening for you too! And everyone on this forum!

I am scheduled for August 10th, I would love to have some support buddies!!! I'm excited, but also quite scared. I've never had a major surgery before, but I have good support from my mother, fiance, and a couple great friends. I would really love to be able to connect on here with people going through the same experiences!
