Today I meet with my surgeon and dietitian for the first time, without it being in a class. I have worked so hard for the last few weeks. I have lost 17+lbs. But I am still worried he is not going to be happy. I hate being nit picked. I have done well on my 1200 cal pre op diet. But I...

Hey Sis! How have you been? Haven't seen you on much, so just checking in on you!

I would go to Goodwill, or if you have a Hope Chest. At least for awhile. When you notice you slow down, or reach your goal weight, then splurge on some New Clothes.. It will make you feel good!

Wow, 800? That has to be hard. Your surgery is scheduled for this week? How exciting! I don't even have my date yet! Hoping in April. Let me know how everything goes! Good Luck to you!

I am sure its going to depend on the Dr. I know my surgeon is gonna be very stricked about me losing 30lbs before surgery. He did say that he won't do it if I haven't lost at least 30. But on the other hand I have heard of people not losing any, and having the surgery with no problem. How...

Thanks for the recipes... And be sure to let us know how it taste... I am all for trying tofu.. I believe I have had it before. Just don't remember how. But it would make a great substitute to go with my spaghetti when I make it for my family. Make them reg noodles.. and if they are ok, I can...

Thank You. It does help.. honestly I have never really gone on a "diet" I did do weight watchers for awhile and lost a bit. I have never really fallen for any fad diets even though I am not happy with my weight, I know it is a matter of changing your habits and eat healthy. I have always...

Everyone you will have to excuse me I am sort of rambling on with my thoughts.... So I am taking steps to have surgery. And it scares me. It scares me that I won't ever be myself again! And I am thinking why does it have to take this dramatic surgery to follow a strict diet. Why can't I Start...

That is my fear too... cooking for my family and Not eating. I think once you have the surgery you will just (especially at first) have the mind set that you Have to do what is right for you and your body. I think it will come naturally. We all know that we still have to take care of our...
