I started my 10 day liquid only diet yesterday. I did get hungry but nothing I couldn't handle. My sweet supportive wife has cleared out the refrigerator and cabinets to ease the temptations. At my age, this is my effort to improve my quality of life for whatever time I left on this earth. God willing, I'll be successful. My wife took a couple of starting day pics as a reminder to me of my obese self!post-299077-14731687440515_thumb.jpg post-299077-14731687623177_thumb.jpg

Good luck! This has fully changed my husband's life and health. Also I had the sleeve with him. Three years out and loving it!

Good luck Sir. I was very nervous, but very happy I made the decision. My surgery was Aug 1. I'm down 38lbs (365 to 327). You will do great!

Thanks Ganic. Looks like you were about the same size as me when you started. Hopefully I'll be as successful as you soon! Good luck with the remainder of your losses.

Good luck on your journey, the 10 day pre-op diet will be the hardest part and perhaps a few days of discomfort proceeding surgery after that it should be up hill from there. I'm ' 9 months and haven't looked back.

Well I'm on day three of the pre op liquid diet and the hunger seems to have eased up as everyone said it would by day three. I'm sort of getting used to having a smoothie for Breakfast instead of bacon and eggs! Only 11 days to go!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
