I'm pre-surgery - just got my date of 12/31/19 - but so far on my pre-op diet I've lost almost 35 lbs. However, I'm pretty tall and carry my weight fairly evenly so that hasn't resulted in much change in clothing size until just this last week.

I have a large plastic storage bin I've been putting my too small clothes in because I was planning on losing weight. I went through it today and more than half of them fit My closet suddenly got much fuller - yay!

That is awesome! I have only lost 8#s so far and plan on losing more I haven't stuck to my diet d/t I call myself having a food funeral! Every time I try to I feel guilty and start eating my fruits and vegetables. I had my husband go get me some fried fish and he brought me back 3 pieces with a biscuit covered in honey and I only ate one piece of fish and a pinch off of the biscuit, I tried but couldn't eat it. I am officially starting Monday my liver shrinking diet! Back to the baked fish, baked chicken, sugar free jello and countless veggies. I wish you the best on you surgery date and I promise to keep in touch to let you know how things are going. I go to my pre-surgery date on November 22 and they told me to bring my support person and that is next Friday, I have so many mixed emotions, I am happy, scared and cannot wait to do as you have start pulling my smaller clothes out of the closet and totes and putting my larger ones in. I am currently a 2xl in tops could use a 3x but refuse to purchase them. I am going to also stock up on my protein shakes, water, G2 and sugar free popsicles.

Good luck! I'll have to do a 2 week liver shrinking diet as well - not sure yet what that means for my surgeon but I'm hoping it's not just liquids.

Please do let me know how your surgery goes! Sounds like you'll be a couple of weeks ahead of me.
