My friend just told me about this forum this morning and my surgery date for a Rny is on Sept 13th 2016 which was set on my initial consult visit...just got the call last Wednesday that my preop is Aug 31st and I start my two week liquid diet on the 30th...I'm so "happy" about it...I have already been tremendously encouraged by all of your stories...this for me has been something that I've wanted to do for years because nothing I did worked so when I found out my husbands insurance paid for it I was so happy....I am now looking forward to being a healthier me

Congrats! I have the same date! I start my liquids on the 30th as well. I have been working on this for over a year. So glad it is finally a reality.

I did not do good on my liquid diet this weekend :( Weekends are always my downfall, through the work week I do great, then we start going out and doing stuff and I lose all focus and make bad decisions. My pre-op is the 31st, here's to hoping I have lost weight since my last appointment.

Definitely suffering from "last supper syndrome" haha but you're right, it's best to get used to it now versus struggling after.

I started my liquid diet today and ugh I think I got the wrong Protein powder. It was horrible, but I am going to be diligent. I have no room for error. The weight is coming off slowly but surely. I don't see how people can last 3 weeks.

I've been weighing myself before hand. So I was dropping weight as well prior to me starting the liquid diet today. I guess I should've made myself more clear. Lol

I had a really hard time with the powders... I definitely preferred the premade ones like Premier. The powder ones just always tasted chalky or gritty to me, now matter how much i blended them.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
