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.

      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!

        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!!
