I used to think and be that way until I realized I always put the weight back on. To do this you have to be committed. First you have to jump through hoops getting coverage, tests and dieting before the surgery. That teaches you to be ready for after surgery and your how to eat changes and becomes a new habit. I will be 70 soon after surgery and wish I had done this earlier because I yo yo dieted all my life. I kept a closet with a wide range of sizes so I would have something to wear. My surgery is in 8 days.

I am a newbee here. My surgery is scheduled for Aug 19th. My current weight is 235 and I am on the liver reduction diet. My Doctor is Dr Toledo in Pueblo Colorado. I have jumped thru hoops since May doing all the tests and things he wanted. I am 69 yrs old September 22 I will be 70. I started dieting in August 2019 as I could not breathe. I was at 270 lbs. I am on O2 now and use a cpap machine at night. I have heart failure and my Cardiologist recommended the surgery for my heart to get better. Wish me luck as I am very nervous about the surgery. The liver shrinkage diet is not too hard for me as Dr Toledo has me eating/drinking a Premire Protein Drink at 8am, 10am I have a boiled egg, 12p I have another Protein drink, at 2pm I have 40z of sardine or sometimes 5 boiled shrimp, 4pm I have 4 oz of lean meat or fish with one cup of steamed carrots or broccoli and at 6pm I have another Protein drink. I go to bed at 9. Sometimes I start thinking since I am doing well on the diet maybe I can not have the surgery but then I thought that once before and cancelled the surgery and ended up at 270. So I know I have to have the surgery.

August 19th for me. In liver reduction diet now. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
