Hi you all, well I spent the last three day re starting my pre opp diet 3 times. I go Jan 12 for surgery. I was in the grocery store buying my liquid food when midnight struck at the checkout. I have everything I need to be successful now, I think? This is really it, it 2017. The journey begins, I have so much hope for this to work and my life changed forever. I never had a skinny time in my life. I been 100+ pounds over weight since I was 16. I'm 45 now. Just like many of you if wasn't without trying. I spent these past 11 years living and working overseas in Kathmandu helping woman get rescued from sex trafficking. It's a third world country and no fast food restaurant and I am still the heaviest I ever been. That's why I am doing this surgery, it my home over there now and my work need the best of me. I'm here in America for a visit and to get this weight under control. I pray it all works. I so desperately need this help from surgery.

I'm 6 days into my preoperative liquid diet and the first 3 days were the hardest. I have my Optifast drink that I'm supposed to drink every 3 hours. To help me keep my mind on the goal, my alarm on my phone goes off every three hours, I use baritastic app to keep me accountable, putting my drinks and Water into the counter, I got a fitbit to record my steps to keep me encouraged, and I am constantly checking in on FB baritastic group to be encouraged by other people's success and struggles. You can do this! Good luck!
