I am a huge fan of reading food blogs and cooking - I usually try at least one new recipe a week. I am going to have to stop reading food blogs and looking at Pinterest at least until I'm on regular food (pre-op diet right now).

Congratulations!

Not all the most fast tempo, but I find them an eclectic mix of motivational songs Respect - Aretha Franklin (or Kelly Clarkson) Turn - Birds Beautiful - Carole King Something Worth Leaving Behind - Lee Ann Womack These Are the Days - Sugarland Beauty in the World - Macy Gray Keep Holding On - Avril Lavigne Coming Out of the Dark - Gloria Estefan Time of Your Life - Green Day American Woman - Jimmy Hendrix There She Goes - the La's Good Time - Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen

Wow that sounds delicious! Thanks for the ideas!

I also love cottage cheese with diced avocado and salt. Or diced tomatoes and salt. Yum!

Have been on carnation breakfast essentials, broth sf Popsicles and Jello. I don't have a scale but just got weighed at my Pre op and I am down 11 pounds!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Good luck to both of you!

That's awesome, congratulations, and thanks for sharing your story!

Congratulations!

We are at similar starting numbers and yes - even after two years of compulsive overeating counseling, I can totally identify with you. I started my preop liquid diet today, and even though I don't feel hungry, I totally miss food. I have been thinking - wow, I'll never eat a big meal again! Which is absolutely the point, but how I have been caring for myself (in a wrong way) for so long. I too have to figure out how I will cope. Congratulations on your success so far!

I start mine on Saturday - 10 days required. Breakfast Essentials or similar type drink - 5-6 8 ounce servings each day, plus broth, SF popsicles or jello, crystal light and other drinks are also allowed.

Hi, I'm Julie - I'm 43 and scheduled for September 25 in the Twin Cities area!
