Hi Kristie! No I'm not ready to give up! I woke up this morning feeling great! I'm getting ready to work out with my neice and kids at a fitness center. I've lost about 22lbs on the pre-op diet! this waiting is killing me ! Maybe we can motivate each other. When you're feeling like back-sliding hit me up! God Bless pam

I am mother of 5 children ( two are adopted) and there were times I was ready to give up on my self. This website has been a godsend. I don't think I would have found my doctor with out this website. I am so grateful, no words can explain how I feel. I have lost 70lbs (18preop) and I am in size 18. I have not been this weight since I first got pregnant with my first child. He is now 15. I have dieted off and on after his birth. I would gain after each pregnancy and then lose some. I am eating healthier now and I am eating to live, not living to eat. I don't have any after photos yet as I am still losing. I started at 279 when I first saw my surgeon. I am 209 now. I hope to lose at least 59 more. I don't have many suggestion that you haven't already tried. I can say this; have faith in yourself and let god lead you. May God bless you in your journey. Lisa 279\209\150

Thanks Lisa This website is truly a blessing! I've been so inspired by each of your stories. I thought I had cheated so badly on the pre-op diet. but i found out I'd lost 3 more pounds and i'm so excited! Girl, I can't wait to be on the losing side! and as for faith-I just asked him only moments ago to lead me and guide me. I know this is the best thing for my children and I. They deserve better and so do I 374/350/CAN'T Wait! Happy Holidays! PAm

dont worry we all probably have cheated on our preop diet. my surgeon wanted me to lose 20-30lbs before they scheduled surgery. I lost 18 and they were pleased with that. I cheated because I knew I couldn't after. We are only human. You will do great so don't you worry. Love, Lisa
