Girrrrrrlllll!!!!! ???????????? congratulations! I love to see this kind of transformation. Keeps me focused on doing right before the surgery! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Awesome! You look great!!

Where did you find the pro source liquid protein? I found one called New whey it's hard to get down because it's kind if thick but my nutritionist told me to mix it with my Water. One tube of that is 42g. I haven't tried that yet but I might try it tomorrow and post a little review.

3 day!!! ???????? lucky you! Mine will be 4 weeks!

I'm allowed one regular meal a day (high protein no carbs) and that helps but I have 2 shakes before and 2 after and if I feel hungry between I drink water with crystal lite or some no/low cal sugar free drink mix. I'm not officially on the pre op diet but I needed to do it for me now so I'm not feeling like I'm forced to do it when the time comes.

Thanks! I'm going to try it out. I've heard so much about gene pro but I can get this without waiting for it to come in the mail.

I'm waiting for my psych eval to be submitted so they can submit everything for insurance approval. But in the mean time I have decided to put myself on the pre-op diet (mine is 4 weeks) to help me lose some weight before surgery. I started Monday and as of Thursday I lost 8 lbs!!

I have always weighed myself first thing in the morning after I use the bathroom and usually naked. I also try to make doctors appointments in the morning and usually wear the same type of clothing so it's consistent. Lol

something like this would be my everyday once I get the weight off. It's the old me. The more confident me. I miss being that girl! She's on her way back though!

????????

Congratulations! Praying for you!

Non scale victory

Congratulations! Yeah I've heard a lot about the stalls. Scary but I think the NSVs are a lot more fun to see. Especially since I don't really like to weigh myself. Lol

Alright now sexy lady! ???? toot your horn! You worked for it!!! Start of summer????where are you?

Hey!!! Awesome!!! Congratulations on your surgery! How are you doing?

Listen, I'm still pre-op and three shots of patron over 2 hours would do me in ????????????so if you can do 8 shots over 2 hours you're good! Lol!!! Maybe I'm a lightweight...lol

I have a three year old. My logic with the surgery is this, is the risk of dying from surgery greater than the risk of dying from something I could have prevented? And is it worth the rush of surgery to make quality if life better for both of us? I want him to know that j tried and not that I just let myself die behind something I could have prevented.

@ you are HILARIOUS!!!! This is totally something I would do and where I used to work we did stuff like this all the time! I love it!!!

Absolutely @@Fatdiva14!! Reading this makes me more excited for the change!

Me too @@Fatdiva14!! Last NUT appt today and hopefully the surgeon's office will submit me for approval next week.

Congratulations!!!

He's right! My nutritionist said the same thing today. Protein Protein Protein. We don't really eat veggies for weight loss. We eat then for the vitamins and fiber. She also said that most of the protein shakes are fortified with the same vitamins. I started the pre op diet Monday on my own to see if I could do it and I'm down 8lbs from my last weigh in last month. I know I probably gained some last week because I went on vacation for the week and all we did was eat and drink alcohol! Hubby's right!!
