3 Weeks till Surgery! Pre-Op Diet Check-In.

[krysunderwood]

Starting weight: 303.8 lbs
Current weight: 288.0 lbs (2 lbs under where I wanted to be on day of surgery!)

I'm continuing to lose weight, and it's no longer water weight! It's about 1/2 lb a day, and it fluctuates a bit, but still drops at my morning weigh-in most days. I have to say this diet is really not bad. The shakes are like milkshakes, and I've been adding workouts this week. Six miles on a bike machine 3-4 times a week. (I say 3-4 because I'm going today, but the gym isn't open till 2 pm, so until I've done it, it doesn't count!)

I also think I'm adding some muscle mass, because my clothes are fitting better than I would have expected at my current weight. Yesterday I wore a shirt that I haven't been able to wear in I think at least two years. And it fit really well!

My energy level is a lot higher too. No more afternoon naps! I might have an "afternoon rest" where I lie down for a few minutes, but I'm not going to sleep, just kind of de-stressing, and right back up and on to the next thing.

Thanks to everyone in the forum for all your support! It's been very motivating!

Good luck! And remember each day gets a little better! I had my surgery on 6/8/16 - so I'm 4 days post op. Keep your chin up!
