lol I can understand your concern with not wanting to loose weight pre op. I thought about the same thing I was going to try to loose weight before hand than I thought Oh no I dont want to hurt my progress and chances of getting the surgery. Its wonderful that your dietitian is working with you now and preparing you in advance for the life style changes to come. Well I wish you all the luck in the world on your journey God bless!

Thanks alot!!! Just taking it one day at a time and trying to get ready for this change. I have 4 more months of prelims to go

I posted last week about my fluid problems too. That has actually been one of my biggest struggles. Its great that you are making changes now so that there will be less suffering afterward. I hide my weight well too so I understand your feeling there. I wear clothes that keep it covered and am proportional no matter what size I am. My hip to waist to bust ratio is always the same whether I am 150 or 250. I have exercised and been active for years and I just slowly keep getting bigger and bigger so I don't listen to anyone who tells me to just "pretend I had the surgery". You ever notice the people who say that have never had a weight problem? Good for you for getting prepared and doing something about your weight problem!
