My surgeon was different, I only have to do the diet for ten days because I finally met with him on the 5th of this month and my surgery is on the 15th. So I guess you could say I got lucky! I also found a great tasting protein shake today called six star soy protein series and you can by it at Walgreens or Walmart. You can get it in many favors but I think I'm sticking with the french vanilla creme! There are a lot of shakes out there, you just need to find the one for you!

Hi Byrd, thank you for offering and I'm looking forward to hearing about you journey!

I'm going to try the laxative too, to empty all the toxins from my body!

I want to thank you all for sharing your experiences, because I never heard about transferring additions and the chances of being an alcoholic. Its an eye opener and now that I'm aware of this possibly I can work on it!

Hi, mine is December 15th!

My surgery is on the 15th, I need a buddie also!

Just take it one day at a time! I'm on day four and its becoming a little easier, and if I was you I would clean out your kitchen of any foods that will tempt you to cheat. I already had my temptation and ended up eating a few chips so save yourself the trouble.

Sorry to hear about your break up, and I understand about slipping up. I'm on day four of my diet and since I do all the cooking for my family, its hard to resist temptation! Yesterday I slipped and ate a few chips then today my family had pizza and I had a small bite of it. The thing of it is to not give up, and just like you I have been on this road for over three years.

I know the feeling because I had a few chips yesterday and really felt guilty! My program coordinator said to not give up just because I had a lapse, the doctor wants us to lose weight before the surgery and she understood how hard it is to give up food cold Turkey. So we all have had those moments and the key is to get back on track.

Its your body's fighting against starving so its holding onto the fat! As your body adjust to your new diet the weight will start coming off again.

I wish you luck with finding a new clinic and try to stay positive!

I'm on day 3 also and I am having a hard time fighting the food temptations around me! I will admit I cheated yesterday by having a few chips that where calling my name, and I logged them in my food journal so I can hold myself accountable, but now I have removed all the bad foods away from me so I'm not tempted and can get back on track. I'm continuing to exercises six days a week and push myself to the finish line.

Congrats on your success!

I have to agree with everyone else, get a second opinion because if you have your other doctors backing the decision for wls then that should help your case. I know how it feels to be over 400lbs pounds and I'm dealing with lupus and chromic asthma too. If push come to shove have your doctors fax your new clinic a referral letter explaining why they agree with you having surgery. I had to do that too!

I just started my diet today and I'm on 3-4 protein shakes a day and two snacks such as sugar free jello or sugar free popsicles! I hope this helps you!

Congrats!

You are ahead of me in the game, because I'm on day one of my diet and I'm trying to keep myself busy by reading or sometime to occupy my mind so its not on food! I agree about the shakes, they are nasty but they do help curve the hunger. I wish you much success and keep pushing forward!

I'm getting mine done on the 15th, and my Weightloss has stopped! I was worried about the same thing and my doctor told me that leading up to the surgery my body is dealing with alot of emotions and adjusting to the liquid diet so I shouldn't worry!

Congrats!

Congrats on your surgeries! Mine is on December 15, and I'm more excited than nervous, because I've been trying to get my surgery approved for 3 years. Just enjoy this experience to the fullest!

Congrats on your surgery!

I wish you the best of luck, and please keep us posted on you progress!

Congrats and good luck!

My surgery day is on the 15th I'm glad you asked this question because I didn't know what to pack either! Thank you for all your suggestions!
