I actually lost OVER 20 pounds in the last month on the pre-op diet... I was doing about 1200cal but then I lost my appetite halfway through so I dropped to 600-800cal... such a blessing to lose my appetite like that... although after a 36-hour fast for the EGD, I got it back somewhat (and ate a large meal, thankfully which did not 'stick'!)

I'm very proud of myself for sticking to the pre-op diet and exercising. I also have not cut for well over a month! My hospital bag is all packed and waiting. I'm beyond ready to stop being the fat girl who can't control her eating. Now with my surgeon's help and with support group, I can put those old bad habits behind me! Totally ready to do this!!!

Great work with your pre-op stuff! That will stand you in good stead post-op.

Good luck tomorrow!

I wish you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery! You sound so ready for this, I'm glad it's finally happening. We'll scooch over on the loser's bench to make room for you when you get back!
