I am 3 days down and my surgery is June 10..... I just need someone to tell me again how much it is worth it.

I am in the exact same boat. Today is day 3 of my liquid pre-op diet. My surgery is 6/15. The head hunger is kicking my butt today.

We can, I know I can.... I have had some doubts today if I really want this,and then I look in the mirror and know it's the right choice. I'm just trying to prepare for a whole new life. I love to eat and I hope my head catches up to the fact that it will all be different

Thank you for the encouragement! I needed it!!

Nothing you are doing to prepare for surgery is "killing you"... it's preparing you for rebirth. Every day is one step closer to your new life. Your new energy. Your new way of fitting into the world. Your new way of looking at food. You can do this, YOU CAN DO THIS.

YOU GOT THIS!

I didn't do a preop but I was realistic as to what it would be like afterwards. Not sure why they don't make us do a preop here in Vegas at the surgical weight loss center, Dr. Atkinson. I modified some of things I ate like soda, caffeine, sweets, fried foods, but glad I didn't have to do only liquids. The two weeks post op was enough for me. Lol. I was 277 surgery weight. Will find out what I am on Thursday (5 weeks post op). At the one week mark check up I was 255. I doubt I lost too much more but I'm feeling great and is not about the weight as much as it is about the diabetes. Doing great in that area!
