dccarite 92 Posted September 22, 2016 Holy crap! I can't believe how fast this process has been. I saw my surgeon for my very first visit 7.25.16. Now October 6th is my surgery date. Wow. It flew by... I never thought in a Million years I'd ever consider surgery. I kept saying I'd work it off and I did at one point lose 70 lbs on my own. Then I got pregnant and gained 80. Since then I just can't get ahead of it. I'm now 330lbs (did i just share that with a bunch of strangers??). I go in and out of mixed emotions but I'm so Ready. I'm actually looking forward to the liquid diet. I want to cleanse my system. I'm sure that'll change a few days in!! Well here goes nothing!!! Life changes and permanent solutions!

SusieT 43 Posted September 23, 2016 Watch out for constipation! It was terrible! Add Fiber to your shakes. Benefiber Clear worked for me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
