See my friend! I told you that liver had done shrunk lol! So proud for you! Take care of yourself and walk and drink as much as possible.

Friend me! I had my surgery 10-28. We will support each other!

I promise you, you will feel much better week two. I'm on week three and feel almost normal. Good luck!

Good luck to both of you. Wishing you both a speedy recovery! Keep us posted.

Congratulations! Keep us posted!

As much weight as you have lost, I believe your surgery will be successful. Your liver should have shrunk a lot. I was 314 when I had my RNY, and my doctor was able to do it laparoscopic. You have already come so far! I'm praying your surgery goes really well.

Great job! You look amazing!

2 oz. of acorn squash soup from Panera with 2 oz. of ground chicken added to it. I'm tired of pureed lol.....

Welcome! This is a great group of people. I'm two weeks out from RNY. They have all been so kind and have gave some wonderful advise. I know we can all help get you there!

I've still got some minor bruising two weeks out. I had the blood thinners as well. I was actually quite surprised because as fair skinned as I am, I expected a lot more.

Try adding different flavors to your shakes. It still gets boring but, it does go by really quick. Invest in the PB2 powdered peanut butter, it's fantastic.

I'm 7 days out and still have some soreness, but it gets better every day. I didn't have a drain, thank the Lord. You are so right about the tastebuds. Nothing tastes the same to me anymore.

Glad to hear you are doing so well. I too was amazed that I handled things so well. We are so lucky not to have any complications so far! I pray you continue your great progress. I know you can't wait for water. It was so wonderful to get those first few sips! !

Congratulations on your surgery date. I know you will do great!

1st, congratulations on your pre-surgery weight loss. You have done a wonderful job so far. With your mind-set you can accomplish any thing. Even though I'm only a week out from surgery, I know it's the best decision of my life. I only wish I had done it sooner. I know you won't regret this decision! Best of luck!

Best of luck! Had my surgery last Wednesday (rny) and I'm doing amazingly well. I know you will do great! Keep us all posted!

thanks all. I'm doing good. I'm having some pain but not bad. I'm only getting 10 ml of lukewarm water every 15 minutes, so I'm thirsting to death. Hoping to go home tommorrow sometime.

Praying for a speedy recovery!

Congratulations!

Great job!!! Everyone looks so wonderful.

Your hair really looks healthy and beautiful!

RyanVSG, I feel you pain! I'm on day 13 of the pre-op! One more day, then surgery for me is 10-28. I will tell you it has been a struggle for me, but like everyone else has said, you have just got to make your mind up and do as well as you can. Did I slip up? I'm ashamed to admit that I did, but thankfully, it was just a…

Thanks for the advice anbrdr and sinderstorm!

Yesterday, I pulled my leg up into my office chair at work and took my sock off without falling on my face! I actually had room to maneuver without needing to do some kind of acrobatics to get the sock off.

Continue with my liquid diet until the end of the day 10-27. Surgery 10-28. Still hoping to reach my 50 lb weight loss goal before surgery. 7 lbs away. Total weight loss so far, 43 lbs.

This looks fantastic!!

Sometimes too many carbs can trigger more overeating. I know in my case that always seems to be what happens. You are strong and committed! Get back in the saddle and take back control!!!! Our mind often sabotages our plans. Remember how far you have already come!

Love the dress! You look wonderful!
