Just an update. Was approved and pre-op liquid diet was easier than I thought. I had surgery the 15th. I got to 220 morning of surgery and 11 days post-op I am down to 208!  Morning of surgery they decided to also repair my hiatle hernia and take my gall bladder out. I had 6 incisions and shockingly all healed within 8 days. Only 2 are slightly noticeable at the moment. I was out in 2 days and never took any pain meds once I checked out. I was out walking with my kids 5 days after and I've already been cleared to go back to work!

Fantastic!!   I'm 8 days post op and I feel fantastic!  I've lost 12 pounds!  No complaints and I'm moving around like a champ!  Good to see everyone doing so well!  Soft foods?  I can't wait!!!!

Thank you guys! Glad you are all doing well too! I can't wait for soft food but at the same time I'm afraid I'll start overeating again. I also hit a plateau since posting. Hopefully the scale budges soon.
