Surgery date on September 7th can't wait. You look great. What did you do for food and exercise?

I stick to my diet no matter what. I never tried to introduce any food too early. I stuck to all phases like glue. 3 months out I am still measure everything I eat , I have not taken one bite of bread, crackers etc. I stay on a low carb diet ( less than 20 grams a day). I switched sugar for equal [emoji4]. And I have only drank Water since the day of my surgery. Nothing else except for my half cup of coffee in the morning. Your brain will change from wanting food for taste and pleasure to eating for nutrition and moving on !! This is not easy but you can do it !! Remember YOU ARE WORTH IT. I have to tell myself that every day to stay on track ! Wishing you all the best !!!

Oh .... and I never taste anything that is a danger zone for me. Hahahah. I have a spouse who is always saying " just one bite so you can taste it ". But I know that will be like an alcoholic taking a drink. My cravings would get out of control and I would succumb to them.

Everyone is different. Find what works for you and rock this thing [emoji6].

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
