October Bandsters?

[almostbanded 9]

You and I will need to keep each other on track. "Just say no to the burger." LOL. Just think about next Monday. Then we won't even want a burger for a while.

I can't wait for that feeling. I'm tired of feeling hungry all the time. Stay strong, 5 more days!!

Anyone else on a liquid diet retaining Water? My ankles are swollen and I weigh more than I did last week. I low I have to do this diet for the surgery, but I was hoping to lose some major pounds also.

This makes me frustrated and a little afraid that my body will not lose weight.

I am on day 3 of this pre-op diet. Today was the toughest. Attended a seminar and the smell of the hotel preparing lunch was distracting. Good thing I brought my chicken both and I made it through lunch.

On the pre-op diet since Friday and lost 20 pounds! This can't be normal! I am actually worried that I'm losing too fast. I was hungry the first few days and now, I only get hungry just before it's time to eat. Anyone else have this happen?

My surgeries October 22nd and I'm starting the pre-op diet on Monday ... Just bought 100% whey Protein Shakes today and will be getting pure Protein from costco ... I'm strictly on liquids... I see some other people eating veggies and chicken... I wish!! That's what I eat already.... I'm worried about working out on the pre-op diet... Not sure I'll have enough strength or energy with just liquids.. although it's high protein shakes

I am having my surgery on Oct. 18. I just started the two week per-surgical diet today..finding only slightly intolerable. Mainly because of the removal of coffee. I so miss it and have a headache from it. But just keep thinking it will be worth it.
