I meant the article about stalls. I am almost 5 week out and haven't lost in almost 2.5 weeks.

Where is this Artie?

Hello ladies! I'm Erika, 5'1" and started my preop journey in January at 258 lbs. Now I'm right at 235 and my surgery is scheduled for this Friday, November 9th in Jacksonville Florida with Dr. Rao. I am getting nervous!!! I'm 37 and don't recognize this chubby girl in the mirror I am looking forward to feeling fierce, vivacious and energetic again! I'm insulin dependent (type 2) and so ready to say good bye to needles! If love to see pics of you ladies from months ago-how are y'all doing? Goals met? Thanks!!!

I'm November 9th! So excited, scared, blessed, cranky from pre-diet! LOL I'm just a bag if emotions I'm outside Jacksonville, Florida.

It's only day 4 of my three week pre op diet and I have a craving for something sweet. Any suggestions? Two weeks of no carbs and then one week of liquids. My doctor requires three weeks for all patients

This diet is two weeks of no carbs. The last week is liquid only. I have been doing the protein shakes and salads, mixed veggies and chicken and fish. I guess it's head hunger. I think I may look at sugar free jello. I've been chewing a lot of gum. I'm just so excited and I know these two and a half weeks are going to drag on!

I get sleeved on 11/9. I start my pre-op diet in a week. It just seems surreal. I can't imagine seeing my feet again! I am more nervous about the pre-op diet and not being a horrible moody witch to my family and friends! LOL

I am having my surgery November 9th in Jacksonville, Florida. I start my pre op diet in a couple weeks. I think I am more nervous about making it through those weeks than the actual surgery! LOL

I just scheduled my surgery for November 2nd. I am so nervous. I think I'm more nervous about making it through the post op diet. My doctor requires three weeks. I hope I can do it!
