im finally under 200 and sitting at 190. this last fill i got 2 months ago seems to be holding good for me. sometimes i think its a touch to tight, but im working it. i still have a hard time believing that i have lost this much weight. Im still waiting for my brain to catch up with how i look.

AWESOME! Haven't made it yet but I will! I saw my doctor on Tuesday and we decided no fill this time. I have lost 50 lbs since my surgery date and he is happy with that. I am ok with it but I was hoping for more by now.

Those of you in Onederland are an inspiration for me!!!!

I hear you on the brain catching up! I still have to double take when I see myself walk by in a window or when I am looking at pictures, I think, "who is that lady?" I was in shopping the other day and I get self-conscious thinking that the sales people are wondering why I am looking in the "normal" people section. I wish my brain would catch up - of course I felt pretty hot in the size Large dress I bought! LOL!:sad:

i was the same thing when i went in to macy's to shop. was wondering around the normal size dept. Kept looking around expecting to be given some strange looks by people. I was able to zip up into a size 12 calvin stretch jean. granted will need to loose another 5 before comfortably fit and will walk out the door in them, but it felt great. I have gone from a 28 pant to a 12-14 now. I also now tend to buy clothes a bit tight vs before buying them a bit to big. i'm hoping it doesnt take to long to adjust to the new me and for my self confidence to go up.

Under 200 is great but the fact that I went from 3X to a medium shirt is totally amazing.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
