So you are ended up only having to do two weeks, or they added two weeks making it five weeks? I think 25 lbs is great! And unless they do an ultrasound they won't know how big your liver is until they cut you open. Sent from my KFOT using VST

I do I do!! I really want to see mine when I have surgery! lol. I've watched a few surgeries on YouTube. lol

My date is April 8th too! I have been on a 2 and 3 diet since Nov. 7. I have been eating three Snacks a day (shake, Protein bar, shake) everyday since then, at the same time every day (8 am, 10 am, and 3 pm). I have either chicken and green Beans, chicken spinach salad, or chicken/tuna in a lettuce wrap for lunch, and either chicken and broccoli, shrimp and broccoli, or scrambled eggs and turkey sausage for supper. I've been eating this way since Nov. So since I had lost the 60 lbs I was suppose to, to schedule for surgery I have been a little bad. I start my diet next Monday the 8th. I have to be on a 4 week diet. After my NUT appt. on Thursday I went to Bob Evans and had a chicken tender meal and had it fried, with broccoli and onion dippers. I was not able to eat it all. But it tasted so good. Then last night I went to Texas Steakhouse for my dad's birthday. I have never been there. I had rolls. I haven't eaten bread in almost 3 months and before then I wasn't eating it much anyway. I had some of the blooming onion (they have a different name for it though), and I have a Ceaser chicken salad which was awesome. I also dipped one of the rolls in applesauce (I'm not suppose to have fruit). I will remain on my bland diet until after Thursday, that's my last NUT class, and three days before my liquid diet. Next Friday I am going to eat pizza, and I'm going to eat Breakfast which is my favorite and I haven't had in a while. I might eat "normal" that entire weekend. Meaning three meals a day, with no shakes, or snack bars! I figure I will be eating less than I did before so it would be OK. I might start with three actual meals a day on Friday! I promise you though, I will probably feel guilty because I have been very faithful to this diet for so long. And I don't think I'm going to eat bread, or stray much from the chicken, and veggies, other than the pizza. Crazy as this sounds what I have been craving the most these past months are veggies. Cauliflower, and tomatoes the most. I want to eat carrots lol. I plan on having a huge salad with topped with veggies! lol.

I actually like my shakes. I drink EAS carb control. Low carb and 17 g of Protein. Sent from my KFOT using VST

YAY!!! So happy for you!! I am looking forward to being able to ride a bike! haha It seems silly but I have two nephews I love so much, and I haven't been able to enjoy running, playing, or riding bikes because of my weight! I'm hoping by the end of summer I'll be zooming around town with them, instead of watching from the yard! When reaching my goal. I want to go back to nursing school. How about you?

I just scheduled today for the 8th!!! So happy for both of us Sent from my KFOT using VST

Thank you so much!!! I did get my surgery date!!! It's April 8th!! I'm so excited. This is something I have prayed for and about for a year! It's finally happening!

Congrats and best of luck during recovery! Keep us updated! Sent from my KFOT using VST

I haven't had surgery yet but the one thought I'm going in with is to remember that everyone's experience is different. Some have tons of pain and a hard first few days. Others get through it like it was nothing. I pray you have a smooth surgery and a swift painless recovery! Keep us updated! Sent from my KFOT using VST

I guess I'll jump in here, even though I haven't been sleeved yet (I will be in April) I had to be put on a diet to lower my BMI. I started at 422 and I'm now down to 368 since Nov.12, 2012. So the first pic was taken Nov 12, and the after was taken this morning. I hope you don't mine me posting since I haven't been sleeved yet.

I hope I look as good as you do at 4.5 months!! I am 5'4. I just hope I don't shrink I can't lose anymore inches on my height..lol.

I am pre-opt now and have a lot to lose. So this is what I was thinking. 50 lbs - Make-up shopping spree. I love make-up. 100 lbs - A pair of really nice boots. Sexy boots!!! 150 lbs - A new tattoo something that represents my journey. Goal weight - Vacation to the ocean. Either Florida or Oregon. Sent from my KFOT using VST

I really hate my scale. I have to lose 75 pounds before I can have surgery. I have to lose 60 before they will schedule. I have lost 55 lbs. I am right there. I even have an appointment on the 28th to weigh in at the office. I started at 424 I am now 369 and my scales (I have two) have started to give me different readings. Meaning I will weigh myself with the green scale three times and each time it gives me a different readings. Then I'll weigh myself with the white scale. Same thing. Three different readings. I know the two scales never read the same. But I would think the same scale would give the same reading. Maybe I need to chill and relax. Sent from my KFOT using VST
