No Willpower

[suchsh 14]

Pre-op is hard. Mine was only 2 weeks long and was nothing but a liquid diet, no meals. I did everything I could to stay preoccupied. My doctor would not operate if I didn't shrink down my liver. I didn't want to show up for surgery and be turned away. You can do it. Believe me, if I could do it you can. So many of us on here didn't think we could. Just keep your eyes on the prize!

Unbesleevable1, it shows that you just had the surgery, how are you feeling and how did it go ?

Do or do not, there is no try. Suck it up and get it done. What helped me was finding a shake that I really liked. Be sure the calories/ protein/ carbs meet with your doctors approval. It's hard, the hardest thing I've ever done. You can do it.

Sorry, I checked out of this website for a while. Lots going on, and all the repetition gets to me after a while. I'm doing great. Lost about a half pound a day for the first month. Am holding steady at 225 right now, but clothes are getting bigger. Its fun. I eat mostly meat and cheese type things. And lots of Protein drink (herbalife peach mango drink mix is my go-t0) I'm turning into more of a planner as far as meals go. I am feeling really hopeful and way better about myself. This is easily the best decision I've ever made and I have zero regrets. I also have had zero complications, so I've been really lucky.
