    Default Day Two Of My Pre-op Liquid Diet

    Hi all....I am on day two of my pre-op. I am pleasantly surprised that, so far, it hasn't been harder. But, I know I have 11 more days of eating the same things and hope I don't fail.

    I started this journey at 505 lbs just a few months ago. I was at 484 lbs two days ago and have high hope of losing 15 or 20 pounds more before I have my surgery on October 2nd. Having NEVER been in a hospital since I was born (66 years ago), I'm as nervous as a pig in a bacon factory!

    I think what is keeping me on the straight and narrow is that I want to have the ability to play with my grandchildren, take walks and hikes in parks, go swimming, buy new clothes, not worry about squashing fellow airline passengers in the seats and most of all, to be able to go places and not worry if the chairs will hold me!

    How has your journey been so far?

    Starting weight: 505
    Surgery weight: 464.....41.....41 pounds lost
    2-weeks after: 445.....19.....60 pounds lost
    3-weeks after: 439..... 6.....66 pounds lost
    4-weeks after: 435..... 4.....70 pounds lost
    2-months after: 424......11....81 pounds lost
    3-months after: 405......19...100 pounds lost....exactly!
    4-months after: 385......20...120 pounds lost

    Welcome My journey has been amazing and my only regret is that I did not do it sooner. I understand what you mean... I have so much more energy for my grands now, my relationship with my husband has flourished, I can wear clothes I have not worn for years. Traveling is so much easier... getting ready is so much easier. I am just shy of -50 pounds. Good luck with the pre-op. Keep your eyes on the prize... It will be over before you know it and you will be on the other side. xoxo
