So..... This is it! After a two week pre-op diet, I have lost a total of 8.6 pounds, starting from 238.0 to 229.4. It is close enough to my Labor Day goal that I am going to call this a mini-success! It was a hard road. The pre-op diet was no joke, and if I didn't know that at least 20 other people were doing almost the exact same thing as me right now, I might have quit. But I stuck to my two to three Protein shakes a day with a lean meal for dinner for week 1, and almost completely full liquids most of this last week.

I am so ready for the next part of my journey to begin, and I am so glad to have everyone here to ask questions and share what's going on. I will keep everyone updated on what happens with my pre-op testing tomorrow morning, and hopefully, I can get on here to let you guys and gals know I made it through surgery safe and sound tomorrow afternoon. I can't believe September 1st is almost here, but at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow morning I am heading from Orlando to Jacksonville for my pre-op testing and then at 11:30 a.m. I am going under! I can't believe I am going to the other side. I can't thank you guys enough for being a part of this with me.

Congrats on the day finally getting here (well, almost!) . The pre-op diet does suck, totally. Your stats are pretty close to mine, so I'll be interested to see how your progress goes. Fingers crossed for you, but everything will be great! Good luck!!

Good luck. Get up and walk as soon as you can and use your sprirometer to get over the anesthesia. Where do you live in Orlando? I live below the Floriday Maill in Southchase.

      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?

      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.
