I'm a week out from surgery (5/14) need help with what to have on hand for the first 2 weeks. I will be on a liquid only diet, anything I can drink easily through a straw. So far I'm thinking chicken broth, miso soup, and protein shakes. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks!

I am feeling very good this week. Happy and successful!

Well as far as biking this week has sucked. I haven't been able to ride to work all week because of the winds.

2 week count down to Surgery Full on Pre-Op Diet!!

going in for my 5 week checkup cant wait to see how much i lost ... i dont feel like i lost much but i can kinda see a little difference in my stomach not sure if it was from the swelling or what... cant wait to see where im at... yea!!!!!

starving! trying to fill up with water. next fill in 3 weeks

I been working out eating healthy or 3 weeks, 1st week I lost 3 lbs, 2nd and 3rd week 1 lbs! This is frustrating!!!!

Ok, bought everything I need, tomorrow preparing food for my 2 week pre-op diet. This is the ONLY time i've been excited to go on a diet!!!

First fill a week ago today..Got 2 cc's..I cant really tell a difference..but I think that's all in my head

Home from the hospital and look like a human sausage. Three days of IV fluids and I'm so bloated it's downright painful.

Went a week early for my 9 month post op- down 54 lbs. I have lost 50% of my excess body weight. Doctor says I am considered not only a success, but and exordionary success!!!!

Its getting closer to my surgery date, one week and 2 days counting. I am getting more and more anxious as the day draws closer. I think I am more excited than anxious..

Can't beleive i'm having surgery in 1 month!!! and in 2 weeks. i'm starting my diet!!

Good news is when they weighed me in at hospital I was down 25 pounds from 2 week pre-op diet! I'm sure some is water weight as i had to drink a bottle Magnesium Citrate day before surgery to clean me out! Am going to try to stay focused and keep that 25 pounds off!

I am doing great. I'm down 80 pounds. 40 pounds from goal. working out 4 times a week and feel wonderful. I just dropped off this site due to being so busy...so glad you are having a great result!!

OMG Telisa - One week from today right? You must be nervous/excited. Good luck to you. Let me know how you are when you can. Lisa

You seem to be doing great. Don't sweat the stall. You will get passed it.

Thanks for letting me know two weeks is a good enough time off. I am feeling better each day, just a little sore. I am loving the weight loss!

So glad your in the 60's now ...I've been stuck at 166 for 1 week now ugh...oh well better than gaining like I normally would this time of the year

I know it is in two weeks now! Yikes I am almost there.

Coops! How are things?? I've been a bad girl in the last few weeks, trying to get back on track!

YAY! CONGRATS!!! I have an appointment next week to go over the pre-op diet and all other pre-op info. I don't have to do as long of a liquid diet since I already have a lapband (although it hasn't worked in three years-LOL). I will let you know if I find out anything new. Do you think you will have your surgery in December?

I am so glad to hear you are doing well!! 6 Weeks left before I get mine. I cant wait!
