@@mclorrie how is it going without the caffeine? Is the hubby hiding from you yet? JK I am down to only one cup a day, but I also have tea. They both have to go and I am not looking forward to it!!

@ccol625 I hope you are approved. The process is nerve racking to say the least. I am in my 6 month pre op right now and this is always on my mind because of my BMI being so close to the requirement. Just wanted to say good luck!

Ladies, what a great topic and I have been wondering this because the first weigh / in was listed on my documents as #1. Anything to speed this 6 months along . I have given up all sodas and I am down to one cup of coffee per day. I need to drop the tea as well. I need to start working to not drink during meals. I think this is going to be really tough for me!

Could have been they are supposed to try different masks during "titration" Thursday so I can't wait to see what superhero I will be! Lol

I was also diagnosed with sleep apnea and go in tomorrow night to sleep with my machine so that they can adjust it. @@mclorrie - I hope you get yours adjusted for a good nights rest soon.

@@joatsaint thanks for the heads up. I love freebies! Just ordered mine

Hear, hear! 45 hoping for surgery in June 2015!

I hope you are feeling better soon ~

@@vixen1978 I am in the same boat with a BMI of 40.7. I have been tracking my food as @@mclorrie mentions. I would like to loose 5 pounds during the 6 months, but more than anything my goal is NOT to gain any at the end of the 6 months. I did gain 1 last month. I hope to be sleeved mid June as well.

Sweet!

You are so awesome!

@JamieLogical LOVED this post! Made my day!

@JamieLogical Happy Dance with you! I can't imagine the feeling of getting below 200 or in the 180's. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting your update! You looks so strong, beautiful and happy! Congratulations on all that you have accomplished!! You are a rock star!!

Sounds like you are doing great! Thanks for posting. It is nice to hear this being in pre op myself .

You will be done and going home before you know it! Keep us posted!

Happy Birthday! Your post made me smile. I hope you have a great day!

Good luck and stay strong!

Well that is just Awesome! Congratulations!

@@Stevehud - "50 Grams Of Carbs" made me smile

I can't wait either. Imagine using your closet for the close you wear rather than a shrine to the sizes you used to wear... Lol Lol, sorry clothes...

@@richieoneal411@gmail.com -- goal outfit..... now you've started something..

I am having the same thoughts. My wish list includes a nicely fitted (not tight but fitted) black turtle neck with jeans. I know that sounds so simple, but I have all but given up fitted sweaters at this point. I may watch the sale racks now for a good deal on my sweater for Winter 2015. Just imagine where we will all be then.

Reflections on month 2 of 6 pre op diet ~ Are we there yet? Contrary to my belief, I did not die waiting for my monthly weight in as I slowly get closer to my surgery date. Ok, so this is a good thing and there have been others. I am proud that I still have not had a carbonated drink since December which is actually a huge NSV for me. I have been faithful to drink a minim of 32oz of water a day. Some days I get 64 oz and plan to continue to increase until I reach 64oz per day, every day. This month I have marked a few things off of my pre surgery check list as well. For starters, my second month PCP visit and weigh in. The scale showed a gain of 0.4, but I think that could just be the clothing. I had my sleep study which shows that I do have sleep apnea. I will be getting my machine soon, and when I do I will get my pulmonary clearance as well. I am really looking forward to a good night’s sleep. I have also started attending the local WLS support group. It is a live version of this website and I find the people there are just as candid and helpful as those on this website. I plan to continue with the support group meetings just because I like them. I do occasionally have to give myself a personal time out from this site and obsessing about WLS in general. Everything in moderation, right? Overall, I have a good feeling about what I have accomplished this past month. I hope that the next is just a fruitful. Best wishes to all ~ mykdzmom
