I got my date yesterday, while in the middle of the pharmacy ???? I will see my surgical team and some other pre-op people on Tuesday next week. I have to say it went fast after I made my decision.

So, surgery buddies, anyone?

Hoping for great success for us all!

I just had my labs and ekg, came home and found out that I have to have my chest x-

by Tuesday morning. I just didn't have enough energy and took a nap instead... x-ray on Monday.

I guess I will find out when my pre-op diet starts on Tuesday, along with most of my other info.

You will get there. It was a long process for me and I think it has helped me to do enough research and try dieting once more, just to be sure.

I have changed my habits towards healthier choices along the way, so the transition will not be as drastic for me.

My surgery date is November 9. I'm wondering if all of you have given up caffeine entirely?

I will hear tomorrow if I need to give it up. The only restriction that I know of is your surgery will be cancelled if you can't lose weight before surgery or if you still smoke.

I got an all clear so far. They still want me to see my cardiologist and have a more extensive lug check. I might be able to skip the endoscopy... keep your fingers crossed!

I will have a 4 week liquid diet with some veggies and Proteins allowed. Max 800 cal/day. They want me to lose 5-10% of my CW. I can have caffeine all the way, but without sugar.

I have been approved and given November 30th for my surgery date. I go for all the pre op work on the 15th and also find out how long and what to do on the pre-op diet. 17 pounds will put me below the BMI!

My weight that counts for the bmi, is the one from when I started my journey. I am below bmi 40 right now and will still lose before my surgery. But still approved they were happy with my progress and set my goal for the next 6 weeks to a 5-10% loss.

You will be just days behind me!

Awesome! I have been given all the nutrition info for the two week pre op... 500 cal less than 50 carbs and all liquid. I should be pleasant to be around...

I gave up everything really quickly and then added stuff back in, I need to quit the caffeine and booze again. Wasn't hard the first time just need to set my mind too it.

I am leaning toward sleeve but haven't fully made up my mind. I guess I should get on w it.

500 cal is very low, maybe move to the middle of nowhere for your diet? Just to keep you family and friends sane

I decided on the RNY, because of my reflux and my surgeon agreed.

      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?

      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
