Wow! 50 pounds in 2 months! I so so so hope I can do that! You look great! Seeing you now I would be shocked if you said you were going to have the surgery! Can you tell me what you are doing, exercise and food wise.

I'll be watching this thread! I am so hot now, and sweat all the time! It's miserable in the summer. That is a huge motivating factor to me, to not sweat like crazy will be awesome when I lose weight! oops! I saw the post along the side of the page and didn't realize it was in the "man room"

I figure water has less calories so I will do that, but pre-op I was wondering if milk would help with the hunger some?

I am having surgery on June 27th, I know that everyone is different, but, help me estimate what I could expect to lose before I am back to school after labor day! So, I am about 315 now, 5'6", 40 years old, wearing size 3X and 26W. How much weight? What sizes of clothes? I KNOW that everyone is different, but just looking for feedback.

I have some left over phentermine from about a year ago, can anyone see why it would be bad to take those with the pre-op diet? It does help with the not feelig hungry and I never had issues with it before, it's just that I didn't feel like I was doing a good enough job of watching what I ate when I took them and stopped.

OK, sounds good. I sure don't want anything to mess up the surgery! Really thrilled with it all and want to do it right!

I just went through a whirlwind of getting things all set since the start of May I have done all my appointments, seminar, etc. I am all done now and waiting until surgery on the 27th of June and pre-surgery appt on the 7th of June. I bought a ton of different Protein things to try and now maybe I am just psyching myself out, but scared I won't be able to handle the liquids and not eating. People say that after you won't care about eating, but I am afraid I will really be upset about it. What if I can't overcome the "head hunger" I know I eat because of stress and all, of course I do, what if I just lose it? I am worried that I won't get enough Water, I drink A LOT of water now and I hate the heat of summer, i don't tolerate it well, but how will I be without all the water I usually have? I really want to lose and get on with my life, I know it's a journey, but I am afraid I will mess it up or it won't work for me like it does for other people. I have a lot to lose. Anyone have anything encouraging to help me out?
