Tomorrow is the day! I have to report to the hospital at 0900 tomorrow morning. Then the fun begins. I will be on the other side of the scale soon!

I had hair loss and it definitely help but I take maximum strength which is I think 10k. Hasn't done anything to my nails but my skin looks good as well

My situation might be more detailed and spinal related as I have already had two major back surgeries in Feb. 2016 due to sciatica and nerve compression at the L5-S1 level. I under went the second surgery about 48 hours after the first due to my spinal cord collapsing onto the right side causing further damage to the nerves and needing a lamenectomy in the vertebra above and below the original location. All that being said I now have permanent numbness in my right foot and calf. Still experience shooting pains from time to time in the buttocks with no relief. I again have been referred to a new neurologist to see if there are other options. After dealing with my symptoms and pain for nearly 6 years, going to chiropractors, orthopedics, having steroid injections and intradermal injections I still am not 100%. I am hoping with weight loss after being sleeved I may find relief. If you have to seek further treatment make sure you have a neurologist operate, not ortho!

My surgery is 4/28 and I am 5 days into my pre-op liquid diet. It has been harder than I thought. I'm fine till I see or smell food and then my mouth starts watering. I finally got my energy back last night which was really nice. It is getting a little easier as the days go on. I'm just so excited about my surgery next Friday!

@Nicole Edwards you need therapy for yourself so you can get past your issues of trauma - whatever it was. I don't see this as merely a fear of the surgery but something deeper within you that needs to be resolved. Why do you need to have him stay fat? How is his fat serving you? And people change and become their true selves. What are you hiding and clinging to? Let him fix himself and stay out of his way. You don't get to decide this. Fix yourself and get stronger.

heading to the hospital in an hour myself at 6.45am. just taken my Ranitidine and honestly now trying to not throw up lol

I stall roughly every 3 weeks, but then I will see a 2-5 lb. loss. I have started to notice that my body likes to stall at old set points. I'm really looking forward to 197 😁

Im drinking it. No issues. I add flavorless protein powder to it.

A wise soul once told me "you lose weight to look good in clothes. You work out to look good naked." I agree! [emoji16][emoji12][emoji108]

Try going back to Protein Shakes to take the edge off of the snack thing. Since the Protein hunger, it should help you by making your overall intake a bit healthier.
