I agree 40 lbs. Now I can see that happening with the Lap Band but the Sleeve idk.

Ikr, someone told me to blend it up with oats and about a teaspoon of peanut bettter and that will help too. So I'm going to do what you said and warter it down a bit for pre op, then post op try the oats and Peanut Butter thing.

Thanx!!

Thanks I was trying to figure out how to delete one. Do you know how? Oh yeah and do you also know the answer to my question

I'm on a one week liquid diet. I have to drink 5 protien drinks a day, I just started Wednesday. Having to force five protein shakes down is consuming most of my mind so much that I haven't even realized that I'm not eating. lol But I'm not complaining so much because I've already lost 6lbs.

Wow such an inspiration!

You look great!! Congratulations!! How much weight have lost and do you have any before pics.

Best of luck to you and I hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

I do, I do, I do!! Lol I can't wait although it's only a week away it seems soooo far.

Wow! Congratulations, I too will have my next week and it's so hard to imagine loosing all of that weight.

I know that felt good to hear. Congratulations!!!!

Well said

I called my insurance just about everyday, and the day I told myself to give it a rest and calm down was very day I got the call of approval. I'm starting to realize that the waiting does not stop. I had to wait six months because I had to do a supervised diet, in the beginning those six months seemed like six years. Then I had to "wait" for approval which drive me crazy. I told myself that once I get the approval, the waiting is over because now I know I'm getting the surgery no matter what. Now that I have my surgery date, even though it's about a week away, it seems so far and its driving me crazy, it cannot come quick enough! I'm guessing after surgery it will be small goal weights that I will be so anxious to reach and that will drive me crazy on the way to reaching them. I guess the "waiting" won't stop until we reach our final goal. Good luck to you, I have my fingers crossed.

I don't post questions on here often. I'm one of the people you described that like to search for my answers first. However with that being said, while searching, most of the answers I've gotten where from the "have anyone experienced this" forums. So if they wouldn't have posted them us searchers wouldn't find many results. So we really should be thanking them.

I have been ordered to do a one week pre op diet and I want to lose at least 10lbs during this process. I'm not scheduled to start it till Wednesday but I'm thinking about starting Monday. How much weight did you lose on your pre op diet?

I see that a lot of you get to eat on your pre op, The only thing I get to do is eat sugar free Jello. I have to drink a minimum of five Protein shakes a day, and the rest is Clear liquids.

I too wish mine was Monday I'm scheduled for 2/19 and Rena's right that date cannot come soon enough! Congrats!!! Sending my prayers your way.

I agree, she isn't telling you the whole story. Most likely she is stretching the truth, Although I've only been on the forum for about six months, I have read TONS of success stories on here and watched a ton of videos on Youtube and they by far out weight the negative. Even the people who have had complications say if they had to they would still do this all over again in a heart beat. This is why I started to limit who I tell because it seems like every time I tell someone they always have something negative to say too.

Getting close! Have you started your pre-op diet? Are you feeling okay? The 19th will be here before you know it!

Thanks everyone! I know waiting pain most of the time, but I have my fingers crossed for you all.

Hi everyone, I just got my date not to long ago. February 19th Yay!!!
