project lisa

I went for my consultation and was pleasantly surprised my doctor allows any food on the pre diet - the only restriction is 850 total calories per day-- So far I am 7 days into the prediet and find my self satisfied with an average of 950 calories per day - it's really hard to keep it under 850 -- also I am not hungry but he reduced my insulin from over 200 mg per day to under 20 mg per day - a huge difference! Calling my primary care doctor today get some xanax because each day I get more and more nervous about the surgery.

Hi Karen, I am a self pay and I am scheduled for surgery on May 26th too. I go for my consultation on Wednesday this week and start my 2 week pre diet. I am nervous because I depend on a diet coke every morning to get me moving. I just returned from 2 weeks in Hawaii I decided earlier this year it was time for Project Lisa so I went on vacation to get my mind in a good place and now I will get my body in a good place. 2011 is the year for me- at age 51 I figure it's now or never. I have 190 pounds to lose so this will take awhile. Good Luck to you and I look forward to learning about your journey. I am located in Arkansas. Lisa
