Yes usually a pretty wide mid-section with love handles. Pre-op is going ok, I think. Some ups and downs - I have to be on a 2 week liquid Protein diet for 2 weeks and its pretty hard. I ate a few times, especially yesterday. I was so weak and miserable. But today I woke up and I lost weight. On Tuesday when I started I weighed 250, today I weighed 244.5. Sometimes I feel like a failure because I'm starving through this diet and sometimes give in to the urge to eat something. But mostly I'm sticking to the requirements. I don't want my surgery to be rescheduled due to my cheating, so I'm a bit nervous.

Your videos are great and very enlightening. You also have a pretty great personality. Our starting weights are basically the same also and I'm 5'2 apple-shape.

I'm definitely subscribing and I would love that! Thank you.

My two week pre-op liquid only diet began on 8/20 and my surgery is on 9/3. It's been so hard. I've been starving, nauseous, and gassy. I tried so hard to stay on track but I really cracked this morning. I felt so physically weak. I cracked open a small can of tuna fish ( which I only ate half of one serving) and some raw spinach and gobbled it down. It didn't have a chance. I just needed that little bit, and now I feel so much better. But now I feel like I failed. I don't want any complications during the surgery because of this. I even lost 5 lbs since Tuesday. I'm just really worried. Any thoughts, advice? Thanks.

I wonder if I will have the same feeling of weakness as I do during the pre op diet?

Congratulations! How is it treating you so far? I'm having mine at Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Center, on 9/3. I'm on 2 week pre op liquid diet right now.

You look really good so soon! Cleaning the room could make for some good low intensity exercise. (Thats a positive way to look at it). Lol

Yes. It's been tough mentally also. Everywhere I go I feel that people are eating in my face. Lol sometimes I get so offended, but I know that they are not the ones that need to change, I do. I just feel very pressured right now. I called the surgeons office on day 2 and asked if I could just even have a piece of fish and they told me no.

Thank you so much for that. I really needed to hear something. I'm stressed and getting depressed over not being able to stick to this diet 100%.

I'm on the two week liquid fast before my surgery. It's the first day and it was kind of rough. I really wanted to eat. I'm hungry. I feel guilty for feeling so miserable so early on. How did those who did the liquid fast survive it?

31 yo here, no kids due to PCOS. I hope to after the surgery. I live in Queens, NY too, and I'm scheduled for 9/3/13. I'm 5'2 and 254lbs.

Mine is September 3rd, and ill be having mine at Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Ctr, LI. I'm nervous too.
