Girl! Please! If you can see it, you can do it!! You can do anything that you put your mind to! Dont stop! Push push push! You are young and strongwilled and thats the perfect recipe for success! You got this!

Thank You Ma'am! Sounds simple enough! What Protein shake or powder did you use immediately following surgery? I have no idea which one to buy.

Woo Hoo!! Whats your secret? Working out alot?

My surgery date is the 22, and i couldnt be more excited! i plan to clean my whole house and wash my car before the big day so that i wont have to lift a finger when i get home.

I had a "last Dinner" celebration scheduled too but my long liquid diet ruined that. Its Cool! Now im no longer celebrating with food!

10 grams of protein each. They are really yummy!

Not protein shakes, Meal Replacement Shakes! The difference? One keeps you full and the other offers liquid protein. You should save the protein drinks for after surgery. Buy the Equate Meal replacement shakes at walmart. 6pk is 4$ which is enough for 2 days or the 12pk is $8.88. i lost 15lbs in 10 days with them.

Girl if you dont got to walmart and buy some meal replacement shakes, im gonna kick you. They are awesome and keeps you pretty satisfied. I buy the Equate brands because they taste really good. Welcome to my preop diet WORLD!!

Woo Hoo!

Ha! They said from the picture! lol. Im soooo glad that your insurance didnt take you for the ride of your life as mine did. Thats super awesome!

Super Awesome!!!!!!

So my surgeon wants me to lose "over 20 lbs" so i was put on a liquid diet for 3 weeks and 4 days. ive lost 12 so far in week one. I am drinking meal replacement shakes for every meal and nothing else except water. Week one was good. I wasnt too hungry and just tried to stay focused. Now in week 2, i find myself more hungry at dinner time so i am making a small salad with little dressing with tomatoes and no cheese or meat or croutons in the evening instead of the shake. I figured that i can still hit my 24 lb goal like this but i have to stay focused. At least the salad will give me something to look forward to. And of course the night before surgery, i wont have anything. I do have a couple events this weekend including a dinner party and a lunch for my daughter at Goofys kitchen at the disneyland resort but my plan is to stick to salads and get use to not always looking forward to eating but to enjoy the party. I can do this.

Well i guess i dont feel so bad then! 6 weeks is a long time! Good luck to you too!
