I've found it hard to stick to my preop diet. I do good and then fall off and I'm just struggling. Surgery was scheduled for Oct 11, but they called me yesterday and told me they need to reschedule. I believe it's Oct 9th now, but waiting to confirm later today. I have to try hard to stick to my diet. I know how important it is to shrink the liver.
Background: I have VSG in 2010 and it wasn't very successful. It was the combination of me being 20 years old and doing it for the wrong reasons and being discouraged that I didn't lose much with the surgery so I regained the weight over the years. I'm older now (almost 28), married, and have a different mind set. My husband and I want kids and I want to be healthy for myself and my future. I feel so strongly about doing this the right way, yet I give in to a few extra almonds, an extra string cheese, etc. I feel disappointed in myself and have been trying to take it day by day.
I'm 5'7.5"
Highest Recorded weight that I recall (before my VSG in 2010) was 293. Day of Surgery I was approx. 250lbs. lowest weight I saw after surgery was 199 (I saw onderland 1 time and after than started gaining - so mad at myself).
Started Pre-op diet last week on 9/20 and weighed in at 266.6
Current weight: 262.6
