Tomorrow it is for me! Scared, still undecided. All I am scared of the pains. I have read that everyone has horrible gas pains and I am very worried about the post op recovery. My mind is still playing tricks with me and saying I do not need it. I try to convince myself that if I had to loose weight I would have lost it since February as I have been very diligent in exercising and keeping a track of what I eat. But no such thing happened. I have been able to lose only 15 pounds since I started this process. I have been on full liquids since Wednesday October 12th and believe me even I am shocked that I have not lost any weight. So maybe it is God telling me that it is time. I don't know I'm very confused and scared. Prayers will be appreciated.

@@paramedic thanks for the tip! Do you put the Protein Powder in before or after microwaving? I haven't put Protein in it bc I heard it gets weird when it's heated up. I did get some plain kefir and put some of that in instead of milk with a touch of cinnamon and honey and it was slamming (lol never thought I would put cream of wheat and slamming in the same sentence [emoji16]) I figured the kefir would bump up the protein a little more.

Always after you cook and let it cool to below 140.... I just made a killer smoothie- I never had them or like them - ok try this - 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of 1% milk, small can crushed pineapple, 1/2 banana a few ice cubes.... out in blender. Then add a scoop of vanilla protein. Blend quickly and add 2 Splenda packs - eat and wow killer

I found out Monday that I was approved by insurance to have the sleeve!!! Tuesday, I found out that I will be having surgery on HALLOWEEN!!!! Today, I went to the hospital for my pre-op appointment and sign a bunch of paperwork.......now.......the wait begins!! 12 days and counting! This coming Monday on the 24th I will start my pre surgery diet of nothing but Clear liquids for a week. This is the part I am the most nervous about, but I know I can make it through. Keep your eye on the prize.....right? lol Its been a long but short 6 months of working towards this goal and soon I will get to make a new goal. I hope to lose maybe 10 lbs before I go in for surgery. 12 days.....just 12 days...... :)

      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
