Good luck tomorrow Nancy...I will be in Noblesville for the nite tomorrow and surgery 8am Thursday. Very anxious and nervous...

Hi Jennifer My surgery is 6th also..In Noblesville, Indiana.....my niece had surgery a month ago in Dallas I think...next time I talk to her I will find out Dr name.. Good luck! !

Ok ok...This is now real....The surgery nurse just called with preop questiins for thursdsy to pre check me in....deep breath....everything will be fine and this time next year I will be the same person in the same body just will look and feel a LOT different......let's get this party started!!!!

Forgot......silk almond milk unsweetened. 30 calories makes the shakes so much tolerable and better.. add a little vanilla flavoring.....and get a blender cup it doesn't make the shake so fluffed up Have great day everyone!!

Yes you can do this!!!! I had a small panic attack the first day but about after day 2 of the diet it was better. I have dropped 13 lbs in 9 days.....I would be happy with 1 lb a day wow....I sometimes feel I can do this without the surgery and save 13000 but....I know I cant. Just be honest and true with yourself with this preop diet. And make sure you get enough protein in...I thought drinking 1 shake would be less calories so it would be better.....well...not its not...you need the protein oddly enough to shed the lbs. Good Luck....You got this!!!!

Good luck.... My surgery is 3/6...many emotions!! We got this!!

Awesome Tiki....Great job....I'm just starting my journey....and can't wait for this day!! Congrats!!

I'm not drinking enough shakes. I think I would do better if I drank 4 instead of 2....not getting enough to get metabolism up!!...great job on the loss.....The weekend will go fast and we will be days away... Nerves. .oh my goodness!!

That's so awesome Mike. Congrats!!

Day 6 down 9.8 lbs..hope to be down 20 total by next Thursday. ...The big day 3/6

My dietitian said I could have some veggies to get me through all of the starving times. Make sure you get your water in it really helps. After the first few days it does get little easier. Sugar Free popsicles and jello.

Hello I have been on preop diet since last Thursday and this has been the longest week of my life. I go to bed thinking about it and wake up thinking about it. I have lost 10 in 7 days...surgery is 3/6. Try some hot beef bullion broth...make sure you get Water in and try to stay busy....and think....about how much better we will feel month after month. If you try almond milk 30 calories in the shakes they are much better. It's kinda like my life has become obsessed with this diet and losing weight and I guess that is what it's meant to do. We are all here for support and I have read so many blogs...watched so many videos and seen so many before and after pics....I'm so encouraged and excited at the end result.....I keep calculating if I lose this every week I will be this weight by this date....wow what an emotional roller coaster Good luck.... Kim
