I am not a fan of yogurt but my NUT say it's very important to eat for protein. I break down and buy some and use no calorie sweeter just as recommended.... Seriously wanted to vomit!! I need help with this... Any suggestions? I plan on trying a bite a day so that I can get used to it.

Is having 8 ounces of broth at a time to much? I am concerned that I came consume this much without pain or discomfort. Should I be concerned?

I can only handle the unjury chocolate. I have vanilla and several nectar brand but it makes me gag just thinking about drinking them.

It takes about 15 minutes but it just broth. It takes about 20 minutes or more for the protein shakes I make with milk.

5 days out... I have thought what the hell did I do? I struggled until they where wheeling me into the or. I'm struggling in this liquid diet. I so tired of just liquid!! I feel ya!! I hear it gets better!

I bought a robe and slippers for the walk around the hospital.. Lip balm and I went to the library to get a new series of books to read. 12 days to go!! It will be here before we know it!!

I have a month before I start the pre-op diet. I have been trying to eat healthier so it won't be so hard. I have made some changes but they have not been enough for me. I had a visit with the NUT yesterday and gained 4 pounds. I told her I am worried about the per-op diet and whether or not I can stick to it. She didn't seemed worried but I am terrified. I can't diet! I try! I am overwhelmed for sure!!

Thank for all the support!! I have stopped being completely obsessed and will be taking this one meal at a time.

I am glad that I am not alone but I am also sorry for your struggle!! You can do this!! You are so close!

Thank you! I have some planning to do!

272.6 this morning!

I could see early on that this was in no way easy. When I was referred many months ago... I was so offended. I thought please I don't need this! Denial! Then I went to the seminar and the NUT appointments just for information. Truth is I've spent my whole life fat and don't know any other way. I am excited to see what and how my life will change. Don't get me wrong, I have made lots of little changes that NUT recommended. 4 weeks out... How are you feeling? Any surprises? I have fear of the unknown.

I'm scheduled for 12/9 I would love to stay in touch!

Yay we're sleeve twins!! I would love to stay in touch! Niki Castillo on Facebook if you wanna chat!

My little one dips her apple slices:/ eww! She loves it!

We are very similar... Cw 274 and surgery date 12/15/15!!!

Thank you! I can feel the love for sure. I am looking forward to after the surgery. I have heard a lot of people say their taste for things have changed. I have been a picky eater all my life ( this is where my pre-op fear comes from) and really want a change. I know it's a choice on my part but I have lived in food hell for so long it's hard to change. I have recently made some changes and it ended up alright. Everyday is getting better.

I to live with a chronic issue that affects just about every move I make. I understand not becoming your illness. I do find myself all consumed at times and it stresses me out. At times I think it would be easier if I didn't need food at all. I have been a all or nothing mentality. I am working on this one day at a time. I want to change and I want to succeed! Thank you for your words of support!

I'm scheduled for 12/15/15 and I'm from Kentucky. I'm very excited and very nervous. I have been working on this since June.

Let's message each constantly! Srsly. My surgery is 50 days away and we give each other tips, ask questions, and be control freaks together! I'm not sure how to message on here.. Haven't figured it out yet. If you know please fill me in.

Thank you! I will probably a bite of cranberry jelly with some turkey broth. I do love me so cranberry jelly from a can. Lol. Now that it's so close to surgery, I cannot wait. It's all I think about! Just ready for it to be here. What are your stats 2 years out? Any wise words? My thoughts of surgery are all consuming. I seriously don't go an hour with out thinking of it, talking about it, or googling it. I have looked at hundreds of before and after... Looked plastics and a hundred little things that pop up in my head. I tell myself to chill out but knowing I have 40 days until surgery scares me to no end. I want to know it all! Lol I'm a bit of a control freak and it's really showing.

I worry that at the last moment my surgery will be cancelled. I don't know why but I cant see it happening. I'm preparing for it and in a lot of ways I know what to expect but I don't see it for me.

One of my goals is kayaking!! I can wait!

I have my last NUT visit 12/3 and surgery on 12/15. I a nervous wreck!

I had no problem passing but I went to support groups before my visit. They were good about telling me to be realistic about the surgery. He wanted to know that I didn't think it was going to be easy and a cure all. I take Paxil and Buspar and I suffer from both anxiety and depression.
