ASM 4 Posted September 19, 2010 Hi, I have 1 week left before surgery. I am a bit nervous, a lot excited, and a bit dissapointed. The dissapointment is because I half way started the preop diet 2 weeks ago before I had approval, then a week ago I started for real. I have only lost 1 lb. I have a week to go, I am getting desperate to see the scale say this is working. I'm averaging 800 calories, 55 g of carbs, and 90g of Protein. I got an eliptical and started out 3 weeks ago, I could only last 4 minutes. I'm now up to 8 and I walk at lunch for 20 minutes unless it is pouring rain. But still only 1lb :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladybug on a mission 0 Posted September 20, 2010 Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone's body reacts differently to the pre-op diet, and if you are adding exercise that you haven't before, you are also building a bit of muscle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
