That's a great idea if it happens to me again, I am still learning about the disease so I can use all the tricks anyone can give its just being on this diet makes me scared to eat a Carb!!!!

I am the Tampa area as well my surgery is being done at Saint Joseph's next week on the 25th! Good luck to you and keep us informed on your progress!

Today was super tricky for me....I have to do the diet but I don't think I am getting enough protein to keep me from keeping my sugar from getting too low, Today I almost passed out in the store, I checked my numbers in the dressing area really quickly and sure enough I was down to 60 which can get dangerous....... I have only just gotten out of the Hospital For 2 weeks after being newly diagnosed with Diabetes..... Yikes.... These next 7 days need to pass faster I am a nervous wreck!!

Ok just need to vent about HOW HUNGRY I AM!!!! I think my stomach is eating itself!!! LOL I have only been doing this since Monday Good gravy I have protein liquid coming out my eyeballs!!! I thought it was suppose to get easier as days go on! My first three days were a breeze Now NOT so much!

Anna, I get all excited hearing things like that, I can imagine the vitamins I could not even take them when I was pregnant they made me sick! So I know to be careful! I think things are done very differently according to where you are, I would not mind if they did the surgery at MacDill they really only see the Military personnel, I just wanted a good surgeon and I have one and now the journey to get back to my thinner self, is on the horizon!!! Thanks for the information! I will keep you updated on my journey and Congrats on the weight loss thus far 20 something pounds off is Awesome heck right now 5 off would be heaven!

Suzanne Yes I am on a full liquid diet except I can have a half a cup of green veggies or carrots once a day and 1/2 cup of whole oats or cream of wheat once a day 1/2 cup of sugar free flavor free greek yogurt 4 protein shakes 2 with fat free milk and 2 with water and added crystal light flavors

Anna How did your surgery go? First week?

Cherie I was actually shocked to have such a fast turn around my Surgical coordinator said I was lucky because the process does not normally move this fast, I hope that all things work out! How are you doing on the liquids I am surviving but it gets harder at night!

Hi I am in Tampa, Florida and have Tricare Prime, My primary care referred me to a Bariatric Physician back in February, I had to do a mandatory seminar, then on February 11th I had my first appointment with Doctor, I was then contacted by Surgical Coordinator that set me up to do nutrition, psych eval, another nutrition, and fitness evaluation, I had to pay out of pocket for those visits because doctors were not in Tricare network. I did EKG and bloodwork and May 21st they submitted to Tricare , May 22nd they approved and my surgery date was set for June 25th. 2 weeks from now and Counting..... right now I am doing liquids and protein shakes

I don't know how that works, if you gain the extra 12 will it harm your health further, if not talk to the doctors office about it! Good luck

I started my 2 week liquid diet on Monday, I still have not ripped off any ones face so I think that is amazing, I have adopted a little trick for when I get hungry but it is not time for me to have another protein shake or snack, I purchased no calorie no fat broth in powder form and I add hot water and take small sips it actually tricks me into feeling full and like I had a meal, other wise I drink lots of water and try to stay super busy, my nook is my best friend at night! I wish you all the best What day is your Surgery? I am June 25th

My 2 week diet started yesterday and it is pretty straight forward Unjury protein powders (various flavors) 4 times a day 2 with fat free milk 2 with any other beverage,2 sugar free pudding,1 oatmeal, 2 Sugar free no fat yogurt Greek preferred,1/2 cup Raw veggies un cooked,1 sugar free apple sauce. and as much sugar free liquids I want. Needless to say I am starving!!!

Have you heard anything new? I have been keeping your situation and you in my thoughts I can not imagine being let down like that! I have faith you will have it done before your Wedding!!!

That is horrible perhaps your 2 week diet was the culprit? I truly hope things work out for you! I am glad that you posted this because that was a concern for me as I am already on the borderline weight wise to have it done on the 25th, they suggested that if I go below 240 with my height I will not be able to do it!

I II I am Two weeks out from my surgery, today I started my two week pre op diet, so far so good it is past noon and no one has gotten their head ripped off! I am nervous and excited about my surgery and honestly will take the bumps in the road if it means that I will no longer yo-yo and can get off the BP meds! At 5'10 and 258 I'm looking forward to one day being back at my normal weight of 150. I wish everyone luck and if anyone has suggestions on these next two weeks of pre op dieting I would love to have them!
