Just had a hard day

I feel your pain k@t. I am on day 5 of low carbs and it is killing me. I have lost about 5 pounds though! I'm pretty lucky that my doc didn't require a liquid diest preop.... I would have died!

I felt like I was dying last night my stomach wouldn't stop hurting. I'm feeling a bit better this morning after a Protein Shake and a yogurt. I'm going to make sure to fill up on veggie Soup this afternoon and again for dinner. I think the chicken soup was ruining it.

Keep at it K@t...it does make a difference.

I lost 16 lbs during my two week pre-op diet and the dr said my liver was excellent and it made the surgery much easier to do. Just keep thinking of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Keep at it!! Honestly, if I can do it, anyone can!!

Welp, so far i have lost only 4lbs and to boot, my period started today.. im sure that's why I haven't lost any more. any now i have to deal with surgery pain and period pain.....*sigh* why does this crap always happen to me?

4lbs is 4lbs gonefor good. We all have to start somewhere. I'm so sorry you dont feel well just before surgery but it will be OK and a week from now you'll be feeling sooooooo much better in many respects...:gluck: for Wednesday!

I was banded on April 4, 2006, and I was on pre-op for two weeks and it was very rough. To be quite honest I had to cheat a little because I felt faintish. Though my cheat was a very small portion of Alaskan Crab legs without any butter or cocktail sauce it made me feel much better and removed the jitters. I am not encouraging you to do this but that is my song and dance. As it turned out my surgeon said my liver was so well prepared for the surgery and it went exceptionally well. I'm excited for you, please keep up posted after you have been all banded up.:party:

Today I started my liquid diet... now my doctor said if you can see through it you could have it!! I do three Protein Drinks per. day! My surgery date is May 4th! I can't wait.. maybe they will call me earlier! I'm sure I will struggle as the week goes on! good luck to all!
