Jr-Castillo 18 Posted May 23, 2013 My nerves are starting to kick in. The pre-op liquid diet is rough but I'm slowly getting used to it. When I started this journey in December I weighed in at 485 lbs now 8 days away from my surgery I weigh 450 lbs. I just found this site and I'm so glad I did I just wanted somewhere to share my story with people who know what it's like. My family had been really supportive but there is only do much they can do because they don't understand what it's like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHORTDOG 27 Posted May 24, 2013 First of all, Welcome to the site Jr. I know what you mean Bro, It seems like it is always easy for people that have never been fat to say..." Just watch what you eat and excersise"...Yeah right! We have all tried that and it has failed us more than once or twice in our life. Don't let no one discourage you because at the end of the day....it is YOU who has to feel all the discomfort and it is YOUR health....NOT theirs. Trust me, they won't be able to stop giving you compliments after you lose the weight. Good luck bro, and God bless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
