I lost 15 pounds !! I did my last weigh in today I had a week and a day for preop diet ... I have my surgery this Wednesday

HELLO EVERYONE MY NAMES JESSICA IM 25 -5'10" and I weigh 347 lbs - My highest ...which I'm not proud of considering my husband only weighs 176 and he's 6'4"... NEWHOO... I started this liquid diet 2 days ago and all I've ate is chicken broth, jello, and water. I'm really hating it since my stomach is still "normal" size so I'm craving everything bad. Soooo any advice on what I can do to help this week? Any food advice? Mental advice?

That's awesome I'm having surgery 8/15 on Wednesday !! I hope I lose enough to wear a nice dress for my sisters wedding in November!

Thank you so much for your feedback!! Much appreciated... I do hope I don't have too much excess skin! I been exercising goin every other day to gym for 2 hours... I started my pre op diet 6 days ago and I've lost 12 pounds- soo hyped about that!!!!!! My last weigh in is tomorrow I hope I lose another 2-3 pounds. Newhoooo Lyssa you look great Hun!! Keep it up! And to all you other sleevers, congrats on you weight loss please keep me informed on the skin...

I really want to know if you guys had bad excess skin? Or very little? Im severely scared of that.... I know I won't have a tight body or anything remotely close to a model but I'd like to have at least a body where I can wear a bathing suit. So how is it??

Im really curious to know how long I'll be staying! I hate hospitals! How long did you stay and how was it??

Damn it ! I was hoping you guys would say one night only :-/ oh well... How was your stay? Staff- nurses and cnas ?

I'm august 15th too !! Good luck to all of us on our journey to our NEW lifes !!

I'm not sure how Mexican u wanna go but I love eatin tuna with chopped tomatoes, onion, and a carrano jalapeño and lemon juice- and it's BOMB!!

I'm 5'10"-5'11" and my starting weight was 347.8 I'm currently 338.5 Im on my pre op I lost 9 pounds in 5 days and my surgery is 8/15 - my goal weight is 170-175 but my surgeon said "realistic" goal weight should be 210-200 but if I lose more then go for it!! I dont know my actual pant size to be honest i actually I haven't known for years, I thinkkkk im about a 24 ?!??? I really don't care wat size I am either just as nice hip my age clothes fit - oh im 25 btw. I just want to be healthy and be fashionably "in" ... Lol

Lol yea well I didn't get to have a food funeral ! The day of my consultation with the surgeon they put me on the liquid diet and scheduled me for surgery a week after !

MY MOM AND HUBBY TOLD ME THEY BOTH WANT TO STAY WITH ME...i think i personally would need them for moral support...HOW MANY NIGHTS DID YOU GUYS STAY AT THE HOSPITAL??? JUST TO BE PREPARED!!

Ok thank you ladies...I think it might be because im losing weight and all my nerves that brought my period at this time...because last year i had my gallbladder removed and same day after my surgery i also start my period...

You look great!! thats awesome to see that you hit your goal weight...i hope me hitting the gym will also help with the excess skin cus im dreadfully scared of it...i dont wanna lose my weight and still be scared to look at my self naked..

Smh -- so I have a co-worker who's been known about my up coming surgery shes been very encouraging up to just now she told me how she really feels about the surgery speaking to someone else - she said, and I quote " I think those procedures or whatever they are, are for lazy ppl who don't want to get off they're butt and excercise the right way, because if u really wanted to lose weight you would do it RIGHT!!" ewwwww ! I almost felt like telling her and who are you to say what's right and what not? Little do ppl know what we have gone thru or will go thru !! The NERVE !!

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE SCALE AND NOT SHRUG OR CLOSE MY EYES OF EMBARRASEMENT I WANT TO HAVE MY FIRST CHILD I WANT TO FIT IN EVERY RESTAURANT BOOTH I WANT TO BE CONSIDERED "NORMAL" AND NOT OBESE (horrible word by the way) I WANT TO WEIGHT LESS THAN MY HUSBAND I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO MY HUSBAND COMFORTABLY I WANT TO FIT IN MY HIGH SCHOOL JEANS I WANT TO STOP BEING MADE FUN OFF BY RUDE PPL WHEN I EAT I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK !!!!!!!! I WANT MY OUTSIDE TO STAND OUT LIKE MY INNER BEAUTY !!!
