I am 19 days out til surgery. A tad nervous but really am ready for a challange. I have my preop appt Friday and am super excited to get a few steps closer. I have done a liquid diet the past two days to lose 6 lbs I wanted to lose (to get to my seminar weight). I am dreading the liquid diet for 10 days but I have a great support system. Even some girls at work are going to do it with me, not sure they will last 10 days but its such a help that people are supportive :D . I think being part of a blog is great. I have been reading for the past week and have learned alot from others experences. I have trouble thinking of more protein ideas......any simple ideas anyone? or websites?

My physician did not make me do the liquids for 10 days I only had to do it for 3 days before surgery. My diet 4 weeks before surgery was low to no carbohydrates and only lean meats and vegetables. I do think the liquid protein helps before surgery to get us used to drinking the protein because in the beginning we rely on it a lot to get all of our protein in. I like the shakes from Bariatriceating.com , they have a lot of great flavors, they are low carb, high protein, low volume and taste good. I love the peanut butter cookie, ice cream sandwich and Carmel latte. I also like Pure Protein Vanilla Cream mixed with liquid egg whites and PB2 Powder. I added 3-6 tbs of liquid egg whites to my protein drinks because it adds 5-10 grams of protein makes the shake thick and creamy and you can not taste it and it keeps me full longer. I also like to add berries and sugar free syrups to my shakes. I still do shakes twice a day because I am working out and need the additional protein to burn fat and develop muscle. Good luck to you, keep reading and blogging we can all learn from each others experiences.

Love the feedback....Please keep er comin'!! I am so excited but as the days near the ridicule from some is amazing. I am still sticking to my guns and staying strong! I understand people are concerned but if they would only realize how excited I am to be able to except a girls day to the beach with the kidos, or go to a waterpark and not be scared to wear a bathingsuit, then they would get it! I am super super excited to take on this challenge, with or without their support. Thats why this blog it nice to be a part of...support is great! Thanks for your comment!!
