I am not a diabetic but being a nurse I think that the best person to ask that question would be your doctor. I mean it could be the stress of the new diet, I know that sometimes I have patient's that their sugar's go all out of whack, just from stress of being in the hospital. The best bet would be to ask your surgeon or the nutritionist. Best of luck!:w00t:

Well four more days to go! I had the wierdest dream last night about going having go to Mexico for Dr. Snow to do my surgery and I woke up a little disoriented thinking that I was hungry and could only have clear liquids being right out of surgery, but quickly I realized wait I haven't had surgery yet so I can have a protein shake, Wohoo! Crazy, I know. Well I worked out again today for an hour today. I have only lost 2 lbs this week which is ok but at first I was disappointed because I had lost so much last week, but I realized that my body would finally balance out and not let me lose so much at a time. So as long as I keep up the two pounds a week, I'll be happy. So four days to go! I found out this morning that I have to be at the surgery center at 0830 Tuesday morning. So I will post a message when I get home that day to let you know how it goes. Talk to you all soon and keep up the great work. Bye.

That is harsh. I am only required a 5 day liquid diet, anything liquid as long as it has no chunks in it. But you will survive just try to keep yourself busy. We only have 4 days left. We can do it. :w00t:

Well the scale finally moved this morning. I am down another 2 lbs. I also did an hour of cardio at Gold's gym. That was a great workout but I can't wait til I am able to lift strength train as well a few weeks after surgery. I have only had protein drinks today and so far so good, before I was doing shakes and soups but I thought I would try the protein shakes only today. Well Happy Thursday to everyone and thank you for all the birthday wishes. I am starting out my thirties with a new and healthier me. Yeah! 5 more days!:blushing:

Thanks alot!

That's great! Good luck with your surgery. Well I only have 6 days to go. I had been doing full liquids since the 16th and had not cheated, losing 16 lbs, until today. My birthday is today and so I wanted to celebrate, so I had a Fajita salad which is still not bad being that I didn't eat all of it as well, just ate til I was satisfied. So I am not going to beat myself up about that. I haven't lost any more weight since last Saturday but that's ok because I lost 12 lbs last week. So I will be ok if I don't lose anymore before surgery. I also joined the gym today because I want to use a personal trainer this time instead of relying on myself to build my exercise routine. I just wish I could have Jillian Michaels live my house, you know. So i am very excited. Tomorrow I start again on a very strict all liquid diet because that is what my doctor recommended a five day liquid diet, I know I will be fine.

Hurst is in between Ft. Worth and Dallas.

Hello everyone. It's great to see all the new people on here. Well today I have been on the liquid diet for one whole week and I have lost 12 lbs. Yeah! I had lost 4 lbs more before from just not drinking sodas. So that's a grand total of 16 lbs and I am so happy. I am tying to lose 10% of my weight by September 1rst and I only have 11 lbs to go and 10 days left, so we will see. I am glad to say that I haven't cheated even when I went with my mom to TGIF. I had a small bowl of Broccoli and cheese soup. It was yummy. It's been hard but I think that I can do another 10 days since I've already done 8 days. So good luck to all.

There is a Diagnostic center downstairs from Dr. Snow's office that does all the fills.

Welcome BooCakes!

I am day 4 of my pre-op diet. The doctor only required 5 days but I saw how many others have had success with two weeks that I decided to give it a go. I have lost a total of 9 lbs since I started 4 days ago and haven't cheated. I have tried to be "creative" with my liquids, so I don't get bored. I cut sodas out on 8/1/09 and lost 4 lbs by doing that for a grand total of 13 lbs and I can already feel the difference. Twnkl2os, don't beat yourself up though, Just try to stay on the diet for the rest of the time and you will do fine. Good luck to all.

Yes I've been stocking up for a while.

I'm very excited! Can't wait.

Another pound down. Today is my first day at home doing my liquid diet. So wish me luck!
