Hi. Getting nervous. A month to go. Current weight is 335 pounds. Looking for a buddy/mentor. Message me, let's fight this struggle! We can do it!

Hi Everyone, checking into the hospital in an hour. Surgery is tomorrow morning May 26th. Just wanted to wish everyone all the best. Hope that our ops go smoothly and our recovery is quick.???????? Keep in touch post op. Who else has surgery this week? Also thank you for all the support on this forum, it has been a true blessing.????

Hi red37, just a few more hours to go. Good luck to you too. I'm excited and nervous. I'm ready for this lifestyle change Good luck to you too.????????

Way to go! Great work!????????

Hi everyone, also on the 26th... We are almost there, it's so difficult especially the all liquids but we have done it this far... Just a few more days. Want to say good luck and God Bless to all of us. We can do this!

Mine is May 26th also. On a complete liquid diet this week. Previous 2 weeks liquids plus one small meal of lean chicken and very low carb veg but no fruit. (So I could take antibiotics) Just a few days to go, I know it's not easy but we are almost there. Good luck.????

Good luck everyone for this week, hope your recovery is quick.????????????

Hi everyone, May 26th surgery date. I did create a thread before and have met some fabulous women and can recommend a support chat group. Good luck everyone. Drink Water and walk! Don't forget those vitamins! ????????????

Good luck. Mine is a week away and I'm also very emotional. All the best.????

Good luck, thinking and praying for you.????????

Try cinnamon sticks in your decaf tea or fresh mint. Makes a bit of a difference.

On my pre op as well. Completely liquids for the next 7 days, was doing shakes and one small meal for the last 2 weeks. It's not easy. I focus on the benefits and why I'm doing this. Made some friends on here and it helps a lot to have a buddy or 2. Good luck.????

Good luck, wishing you a speedy recovery.

@@Salonboi Good luck and all the best.

Hi Everyone, my date is May 26th. Started pre-op diet yesterday. Wish all of you the best through this journey.

Ok was replying to a different post not sure what happened. Can't find it now. Sorry.

Hi, I'm so sorry about your brother, I know how difficult that is. This journey is not easy. I started with forgiving myself first. I've always blamed myself. I have tried so hard but finally I decided to take my doctors advice and have a bypass. I'm on day 2 of my pre-op, I do not doubt my decision, I know that I need this tool to have a better life or I will not live a healthy life. If you need someone to talk to, please pm me. You can do this. Good luck.

Hi... Just started myfitnesspal. I started my 21 day pre op yesterday. Add me please: dolphin_flygirl Good luck.

Really fantastic!! You have done an amazing job, way to go!

Hi there, my date is May 26th. 3 weeks to go... Really excited for the new changes to come. Stay positive and message me anytime.

21 days to prep my body for surgery: Protein shake ✅ Water✅ Walking✅ Vitamins✅ I'm having also 3oz chicken with a low carb veggies as 1 meal. Then it's onto liquid diet only. Good luck everyone, we can do this!

Thank you Djmohr. I will pm you Martene, yes it's great to have buddies on this journey. We need motivation, support and accountability. ????????

Hi, my op is May 26th. I have only told my parents. I have had abdominal issues before and also removed my gall bladder, so people can think what they want. I've had to tell my financial advisor coz he sorts my medical insurance out and I did not get approved for the op and I'm pleading my case again this week. If not I will have to pay for it by myself. I want to tell my best friend but not sure when. I'm nervous. I want to stay in my pumped up, positive zone because I know that this will be life changing for me. Good luck.

I am so grateful for this wonderful thread. I honestly can't believe some of the foods my NUT allows on both pre and post op. I've already eliminated caffeine, sweeteners, junk food and start my pre op diet tomorrow, op on 26th. I love the idea of real food. I love to cook and with my new lifestyle change I want to make a difference, even for my family. This thread is inspiring and the recipes look awesome. Can't wait to try them down the road.????????????????????????????????????????

Although my surgery is 3 weeks away, I love reading the questions and answers posted here. Thank you and glad you are feeling better. Thank you so much for the recipe, I've saved it for down the road.
