    Protein intake?

    My shakes have 30g Protein in them. Thats awesome, because if I have two I am at 60g already! Have you tried greek yogurt? The kind I eat is 17g or protein. Protein is vital but I was also told that the first 4 weeks after surgery are time to recover and heal and that I can lose weight for the rest of my life, I need to heal then.
  3. I am obsessed with weighing myself. I do it at least 5 times a day. I need to stop!
  4. I cant find the slim fast high protein low carb anywhere anymore! I google it and realized there was a recall on it, but I have heard some people are using it still. I liked the slim fast, and they were easy to bring around!

    Pre-op diet

    I am very sleepy! I am on day 4. Down 9 pounds tho :-) I am so jealous you get to eat lean meat and green veggies! I take naps threw out the day.. I feel so unproductive! lol
  10. Hey how are you, surgery date is coming soon! Are you on a pre-op diet? How is it going?

    Pre-Op diet/Fasting.

    Awesome! Im also on day 4 and having my surgery on the 17th. The first day was the hardest for me. After that it just seems normal to me. I guess I don't obsess over food as much as I thought I did. I am a little bit more tired then usually but I hope that goes away soon.. I have too much going on to be tired! haha. Cant wait to get banded and start this new life!

    Disgusted with Myself

    Kerri, Please keep your head up! Just start over,if you really need to eat try something that is healthy, it shouldnt hurt that much :-/ I dont have much advice to give you, I am not struggling at all on my pre-op diet but I feel like I prepared myself for this from the 3 month diet I needed to go on. Just remember what you are doing this for!!!!! It will all be worth it. Next time you want to eat like crazy go take a walk, or do something that will keep you busy. You will be fine! Good luck on your surgery!
  13. Not yet... on the 17th! Im waiting sooo patiently.. it seems like time is not moving, and this pre-op diet is just blah. How are you feeling, any pain?

  14. I get banded on the 17th also. SO exciting!
  15. Im on my third day. The first day was the worst.. today it didnt really faze me! Hope it goes well! Good luck
  16. Well if they are selling them then they cant be on recall anymore... but i cant find them anymore since there was a recall :-(
  17. Getting to 800 calories on my pre-op liquid diet and staying under 50 carbs. I hit 50 carbs and I'm only at about 500 calories. Its hard to avoid carbs when I cant have any meats and im just on liquid! ANy ideas?!?!?!
  18. The 2nd day was a lot better. I'm still tired though and its only 930... i have 12 more days to go :-( It feels like its never going to end!

  19. I use to drink the slim fast carb control but there was a big recall on them not too long ago and they are nowhere to be found anymore. I tried the eas advantage ones too, they arent bad, maybe illl start having a few of those during the day. My Protein now is low in carbs but I like to mix it with milk which burns up my carb allowance. thanks for the advice.... now if i can figure out how to get rid of this headache!

    Pre-Op

    I have the worst headache ever!!! I never really drank caffeine soo it cant be that. The past few hours have been really bad for me :-(... I tried chewing my broth today.
  21. Ya, today was my first day and it sucked! It was fine till about 5 and then I started getting so hungry, and this wasnt head hunger, my stomach was making noises! For the past few hours I've had such a bad headache and I am so sleepy, but have gotten plenty of sleep already. Only day one, and im already trying to chew my liquids. haha

    Pre-Op

    I use Platinum HydroWhey. It taste good! Right now im starving, and this is not head hunger , this is real hunger! haha Im going to eat some broth... but I really dont think that will help. haha
  23. Hey, how are you? Hows your pre-op going?

  24. Nean4488

    Congrats!!!

    Pre-Op

    I started mine today! Are you allowed to put fruit or yogurt or natural Peanut Butter in your shakes? If not, even sticking it in the blender with ice will prolly help. I have only had two shakes today and its keeping me full. I switched between chocolate and vanilla. Also zero gatorade is really tasting. My problem is that I want to chew on something. Try gum! Just remember what we are doing this for!
