Recommended Posts

Were all on a roll here....the 24th is getting closer....I am so excited. I tell you the last few days I've really been a BIT** but today I am finally feeling good. I have some energy, and did a lot of spring cleaning on my apartment. I wonder how many calories I have burned today...I am down a total of 16 pounds with 10 days to go!! I can't wait to see 299 on the scale...I will have to do a dance. Going to take my pics tonight...I have one posted on my profile but it was from XMAS of 08 and I've gained since then. So not quite accurate....Gonna really get some good ones...front, back and side views. Up close and full body ugh!!!

I think my body is done with the withdrawing and I'm feeling human again.

Yesterday I slept 18 hours....I was an emotional wreck. Funny how I can feel the exact opposite today... oh well, maybe my body is getting used to this....

HUGS TO ALL.... Hope you are all well...

Meg

On day 10, 7 days left! It is easier and the goal is getting nearer but I still miss food, well flavour actually. 10lb down :thumbup: I hope it carries on at a pound a day until my op :thumbup:

Hi, that is my day too. My sister and are both scheduled for March 24th. 10 day pr-op diet today. Sounds like between some of your, 3 Protein Shakes and up to 2 cups of cottage shees, yogurt, applesauce, etc. Nervous!

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery on March 24th as well. My doctor doesn't require I do a liquid diet pre-surgery but I've decided I want to do it the week before just to prepare.

10 more days.... :thumbup:

On day 6, and still no cheating. I am down 10lbs since starting and that is pretty amazing. I really had to stop to think what Darkangel was saying in only 8 days we will have the worst of this behind us. ONLY 8 DAYS! I know I am getting excited and nervous about it.

Today so far has been pretty challenging and I have had to really focus to stay on track. Hubby went shopping for the groceries last night and what he bought would make a bachelor pad look healthy. Mostly snacky type foods! Unbelieveable. Oh well, I am determined to stay on track and not cheat, not even once.

Hope you all are doing well....R

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
