New&Improved 1,780 Posted October 6, 2019 I cannot believe I'm so close after over 12 months of research and waiting for my insurance to mature I'm finally at the last leg of this race. 3 weeks today (Monday in Australia) I've been through so much mentally recently and I'm proud of how far I've come. I decided to start my own diet 6 weeks ago and I'm down now 46lbs. I'm so excited to start the next leg of my journey and begin the next chapter of my life. I'm looking at 80-90lbs to get below the 200lbs goal and hopefully end up around 185-195!! Thank you all for your support and kind words. (I've already had to buy some new clothes and feeling a little more confident every week) MIKEY 2 1 1 Mrs. Mercedes, Ilianamarie30, ProudGrammy and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoriLynnRN 13 Posted October 8, 2019 My surgery is the same day! I'm having the sleeve gastrectomy. I'm nervous and excited as well! Apprehensive about starting the pre-op diet on Monday. 4 Optifast shakes a day with unlimited sugar free Jello, popsicles, broth, no-calorie sports drinks, Water. In moderation right now, I've indulged myself to have some things I know I won't be able to eat much of in the future. Had a few Stella Artois beers the other day, had my last Diet Pepsi, and some fast food-but just half of what I'd normally would order. I weigh myself every other day to be sure I'm still on track. I have lost 16lbs since I began the program in May. I know on the pre-op diet I'll drop even more. Best of luck to us, Mikeyy! We can do this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
