Seen the nutritionalist today and my weight went up 6lbs which takes me up to a BMI of 55 I need to lose 2-3lbs a week until surgery. I was told if my BMI is 50 or higher pre surgery then I will be on a 3 week pre op diet( 2 shakes and a sensible meal) and the post op diet is 4 weeks(1wk liquid 2wks mush and 1wk introducing solids) I asked how likely it is to get my surgery Sept 19 and was told that's a great date to shoot for! I'm very excited to start my journey and just wish it was September already! I need to work on eating slower and smaller bites still and I went and tried to get a food scale but they don't carry them so I will try a different place tomorrow! I already bought my gas x I am trying different Protein drinks now so I know what I like when it time to only being able to drink the Protein Drinks.

How is everyone else doing today?!

Thank you! I know it's going to be a huge life change but I am so ready! Tired of being fat an not able to move without pain! I went and bought some Atkins meals, the steam veggie packs for the microwave, Pure Protein frosty chocolate, and a food scale! I had a Naked chocolate banana juice for Breakfast and had pizza at Peter Piper pizza for summer days so dinner will be another shake or juice! I want to see how well I can stick to this meal plan!

I am trying really hard not to "sneak" a taquito I made for the kids! I bought Water and I'm waiting for it to get cold so I can make my shake! I am going to try the pre op diet and add fruits and veggies because the nutritionalist said I need to do a 2k diet right now so my body doesn't go into starvation mode

I can't believe how fast the summer went! All done with all the hoop jumping now "patiently" waiting for Ins approval!

Me too... not looking forward to the no food. But, looking forward to the changes I am sure to both see and feel.
