Helloooo! I'm J. I'm in my early 20's and the biggest I've been is 400lbs at the age of 18. I've lost 171lbs with diet and exercise in the last 2 years so everybody thinks I'm crazy that I want the WLS now. My mom thinks I look beautiful at 221lbs and if I want to look frail and sickly if I lose more. My sister is surprisingly quiet about it but I know she disapproves. My dad couldn't care less, I could shave my head and pretend I'm a puppy, and he would approve. And I'm afraid I'm letting them in my head. One day I want it then the next day I won't. It's just so frustrating and nerve wrecking. Does everything truly go back to normal after the surgery? I have till next Wednesday to decide because believe it or not I have scheduled the surgery. The pre op diet isn't so bad(I'm not on a liquid diet, sorry!) I haven't really told anyone just my family and 2 friends (now you guys.) I told work I'm going on "vacation" so that could be adding to my conscious. I don't know what I'm looking for, maybe guidance or maybe just someone to tell me to shut the hell up and woman up.

GOOD LUCK TODAY Mine isn't today but next week if you still want a buddy.

My stomach started grumbling at the word "Burger" yesterday.

Well my doctor said he doesn't think the liquids do anything so he allows healthy foods as an alternative. I think it depends on the Doctor because he also said the other Dr. they have in the practice ONLY does liquids.

I'm actually not doing a liquid diet. Mine is vegetables, fruit and since I'm a vegetarian I've been okayed to eat fish. But it's tough.

We'll pretend we're eating cake and having a party.

I told work I was going on vacation. Didn't want their negativity to bring me down. I only told my one friend and family members. One girl overheard me on the phone so she's in on the secret but no one else. My body my business.

April 29th Surgery twins! Me too.

I felt the same way. I'm a vegetarian and loooove vegetables but after 4 days I'm so over them. The sweetness from the shakes helped a bit and my dearest friend coffee.
