Thanks! I've reached my goal now and I'm even a couple of pounds under my goal and that is where I seem to be sticking without much fluctuation, so I'm staying with it. Anything I would have done differently? Knowing what I know now, in the beginning I wouldn't have obsessed as much about every single pound. I wouldn't have checked the scale every single day, and I would have started the gym a little sooner than I did. I should have worried less and enjoyed the ride more. I also wish I hadn't started buying clothes so soon because now I have all these size 12s and 10s to get rid of on top of all the bigger sizes because now that I'm done I've settled into a size 5/6. So, that's the main things I can think of. Good luck with your surgery, it will change your life!

Thanks! I'm down to being just 2 lbs from goal now and super excited!

Thanks Kacie, I can hardly believe it myself sometimes

Lol! Thanks Sue, that is so sweet of you! I feel amazing :-)

I had my gastric bypass on September 8, 2014. HW was 279. I'm 5' 7.5" tall. My current weight is 151 lbs. I look great and feel fantastic. This is the best decision I've ever made. It has changed my entire life.

I'm six days out today as well. I'm drinking tiny sips of water all day every day but I doubt I'm getting anywhere near 64 ounces in. I'm barely able to eat or drink anything else. The protein shakes are so super sweet I can't stand them anymore, and when I can drink them I barely get in one or two shakes a day! I had yogurt twice yesterday. I get Isopure unflavored today and I really hope it makes a difference because I'm worried about not seeming to get any nutrition. Since I started the 10 day pre op liquid diet up to today I have already lost 20 lbs.

I'm four days post op now, I've been home since Wednesday night. I'm drinking tiny sips of water all day and night, and I'm sick of these sweet shakes already. I ordered some unflavored Isopure protein powder that should be here Sunday and today I'm actually trying a few ounces of strained fat free soup. I've lost about 15 lbs since beginning the 10 day pre op liquid diet up til today. I'm still sore and have a terrible sore throat when I swallow.

I can't believe it's tomorrow!! I'm starting to get a bit nervous, how about ya'll? Mine got moved up from 10am to 8am because whoever was before me had to cancel. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30 am! This is day ten of my liquid diet and I lost 8.2 lbs I feel good about that. So I go from liquid to no liquids after midnight. I'm mostly packed and I have my husband and my cousin/best friend to be with me the entire time, plus my mom and aunt will be coming to see me. I think I'm ready. I"m nervous as I said, but I've been waiting years for this and it's finally here!!! Good luck and speedy recoveries for all of us :-)

I've been drinking the Atkins shakes, and I really like them too!

Yes I'm on day 6 of my liquid diet, and I don't know about everyone else, but I'm hungry! It's been hard for me, but I just keep on keeping on!

Hi! My gastric bypass surgery is Sept 8th! Glad to find you all, I'm excited for this journey and glad to be able to keep track with everyone here.
