I had my pre-op meeting with my Dr today. I was supposed to start my pre-op diet tomorrow but decided to tru and help the fatty liver by starting two weeks early. The past 2 nights I shakes for bfst and lunch and dinner with my family. I lost 14 lbs. The nurse tried to "tattle" on me that I was eating dinner each night and the Dr said, you keep doing what you are doing, you lost 14 lbs in 2 weeks.

Then the nurse tried to "tattle" that I was drinking the Worldwide shakes from Trader Joe's instead of the optifast that they sell in the office and again the Dr said they are ok. I really thought she was trying to get the Dr to yell at me but I guess I showed her. (skinny little B&*^# lookes like she weighs 95 lbs fully wet, she needs to get a job somewhere else)

I am getting the surgery because I can't exercise like I should due to some health issues not caused by weight and all I do is sit around the house and eat. It might be easier if I could work but I am disabled and food has always been in my kitchen.

So as of now I have 45 lbs to get to my goal of 145.

Tonight I cooked all my favorites and had a great meal. I put the amount that I would have normally eaten but was only able to finish about 1/2, I was stuffed.

I had a delicious filet mignon, baked potato and mushrooms and onions, all my favorites.

Tomorrow I will have bad breath from the onions, probably pass gas all night tonight, and will have gained at least 2 lbs, but it was all worth it.

Still questioning if the surgery is the right thing, more nerves than feeling it is wrong, but I will be at the hospital on 9/18 and will probably feel lbetter once it is done.

I think you will feel good afterwards. It is some work but I think well worth the work knowing hopefully you will never see what you lose this time. Good Luck to you! Also congratulations on the weight you already lost!!!
