Did anyone cheat on the pre -op diet
Jamie1970 replied to TRACIENEW1217's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow---so many kind peeps here with words of support. I love it! Today is day 3 for me and I can say whole heartedly that: LIQUID DIETS SUCK!!! <<chuckle>> But---I'm down 8lbs in 3 days---holy cow!! So I'm going to hang in there and I hope everyone else who is currently doing their pre-op diet hangs in there, too! We can get through this!!! -
Hi Robyn!! So, we're set for surgery on the same day?? How fabulous!! The liquid diet is very challenging but today is day 3 and I'm down 8lbs!! Heck, that's blowing my mind so it motivates me to keep with it!! Keep me posted with your progress!! :-) And good luck!

The 29th? How fabulous! Good for you!! Yes, I am on a pre-op diet and I hate it. <> Liquids for 14 days! YIKES!! I have a good protein supplement and I am following the rules---it's not so hard to do...I just miss CHEWING! LOL I have found that I have zero energy at the end of the day. When I get home from work and have my 'dinner,' all I want to do is sit on the couch and go to bed early. I hope it gets better---I've been reading where people say the first 4 days are the roughest. How about you? Do you have to do liquids or just high protein?

Ok, so far it's not been too bad. The protein shake I got is great---I got the unflavored kind so I can make it taste like whatever I want it to. I mixed it with skim milk and a 1/2 tsp of sugar free waffle syrup-------it tastes just like the milk left after you've had a bowl of cereal! Who doesn't love that?? :confused: I'm sure day 2 and 3 are likely to not be as 'pain free' as day 1. However---I'm ready for it so bring it on!! <<chuckle>> It's good incentive to get a hobby or something so I don't just think about food all day I guess...LOL Wish me luck, folks. I know I can do this! Size 10 jeans, here I come!!!!!!! Whoo hoo!!! :thumbup:

I can't wait to wear this exact same outfit on the 21st! You look great! LOL Good luck to you!!! -
I heard some of the sweetest words today!! "You are APPROVED by your insurance for surgery!!!" I finally got the much hoped for phone call today from my doctor's office!! Feels like I have been waiting forever when in reality it only took 3 weeks...My surgery is scheduled for July 21st!! I am sooooooooo ready for this!! Thanks to everyone for all their kind words of support during the 'waiting process.' Healthy living, here I come!! Whoo hoo!!!

Good luck to you tomorrow, NaveyWifey!! Exciting times for you, too!!! Keep me posted on how you're doing!! Thanks spoiltmom---my insurance is Anthem BC/BS. Thanks newmein10---my pre-op visit is July 12th. Have to see the doctor for my physical and stuff then have to go to the hospital for blood work and tests I guess. PuppyBandit---so sorry to hear how you've struggled! That has to be sooooooo aggravating for them to keep stringing you along!! Not cool for sure! I will cross my fingers for you that you get some good news quickly!!!

Time to get a new nightdress! (June 27 2010)

How fabulous for you!!! :-) -
Hi there. Thanks for the add. While I would give my 2 front teeth to be at 236lbs----I really DO understand why you are frustrated and why you want to lose the weight. I was at that weight at one time and while I was in a size 14, all I wanted was to be in a size 10! LOL It seems so unfair for a doctor to mandate a decision about your health based on a stupid BMI number. But alas----such is life, eh? Anyhoo----hope your next appointment goes in your favor and that you qualify for the surgery. Keep me posted!

Scoot over girl, cause I'm sittin' in the same boat with you! LOL :-) I keep looking at my phone, willing it to ring. Bah! So far nothing. <<chuckle>> Patience is not a virtue of mine either. At least we're in good company, eh? -
Well--just do what you can do. The main thing is you're trying! All is well with me---still just waiting to hear from the insurance. I called on Monday and they told me to give it a few more days and call back. Sheesh---this waiting is tough! But-----in due time, eh? :-) LOL Hopefully one day I can think back on it and this will all just be a bump in the road to progress! Tuesday will be here before ya know it!! Whoo hoo!!!!
