My surgery isn't until late June and I'm already struggling to get started losing weight- which is one of the reasons I'm doing this. Any advice to push me through this so I can get 25lbs off before surgery?

Congrats on your surgery date! You may not want to hear it but I would suggest starting the liver reduction diet early. Meaning replacing Breakfast and lunch with Protein shakes. It will be hard but you can do it! Plus they have so many awesome varieties in the Atkins brand and premier is good too. All the best!

That is the best way to go really. I had to do a 6 month diet. Right away they had me replace Breakfast with a Protein Shake. I was very nervous cause i was going on a cruise. I did replace breakfast with my Protein shake and I lost 7 pound just by doing that. Including going on vacation. The next month they had me replace breakfast and lunch with a protein shake. I lost 30 pounds in 6 months. I think it has also made the liver shrinking diet easier. I am on day 5 of my liver shrinking diet and so far it hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be.

      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!!
