Hi to all you Junies!!

I read the post about the pre-op diet. I am a little confused too, but my Dr. said that I should follow the Atkins diet for 10-7 days before the surgery. I really hate the Atkins diet, but I'm pretty sure I will be faithful. I am self pay and it took a long time to save up and hours and hours of extra work. My Dr. had a patient he calls "The French Fry Lady." I guess during the pre-op diet she ate french fries everyday because she didn't really think it mattered.....Well, when the Dr. got inside to do the procedure her liver had not shrunk at all and he was unable to complete the banding and had to stop and stitch her back up. I think I would just die if that happened to me. So good luck to all of us. I can't wait to post an "after" picture someday!!

I WAS TOLD 2 WKS OF INSTANT Breakfast, BUT JUST FOR 2 MEALS, AND A REGULAR MEAL FOR ONE??? THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE TO BE CLOSED BACK UP AND NOT BANDED...

In about an hour I am leaving for my surgeons visit and pre admission to the hospital. I will know later today when my date is. They say most likely on June 2nd or 4th. Hope the 2nd so I can be recovered enough to hang around (and probably not do much else) on the 6th for our Relay for Life. They say walking is good after surgery, but I dunno about all night!!! I am excited to be a June Bug!!:thumbup:

I am looking forward to it, although I know a lot of hard work is ahead. I am a 58 year old man with a lower bmi, 33, but I have diabetes and the pills and insulin aren't keeping my sugars in check anymore. I really don't mind being the chubby grandpa, but I want even more to be the healthy grandpa; the one the grandkids remember, because he hung around for awhile. Change is always a bit scary, but in this case it is also necessary. Bring it on!

The pre-op diet varies based on your doctor. Some require 2 weeks liquids only, some require 2 liquid meals and one "sensible meal" per day, and some, like mine, only require an Atkins type diet. The length of the diet varies as well. Be sure to get the clear picture from your doctor of what they require. Don't go by what others here are required to do.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
