Fgf: What Are You Doing Today To Get To Your Goal?

[feedyoureye 3,087]

How do you drink so much Water if you are only supposed to have 4 oz of Fluid at a time and then have to wait for 1/2 hour? Or am I confused?

Later on it is easier to get lots of Water down. At least it was for me. I take about three small gulps... then I have to wait a few seconds/minutes, then three more... and like that. I feel full, then all of a sudden not. Its the stomach opening up its pylorus and letting the contents through. Your stomach also does get bigger as the swelling goes down and you can hold more.

I started my day out yesterday with a 20 minute session on my eliptical. This morning I did a Zumba class. Trying to do something physical every day now.

Love my sleeve!

Today I resolve NOT to cheat on my self inflicted preop diet!

I almost wish that my surgeon required a preop diet because then I would feel accountable to him, but he doesn't so I have only myself to hold me accountable. That's never worked for very long in the past..... I'm hoping I can make it through the next 3 1/2 weeks without any weight gain!

I also wish Dr. Simon made you lose 5% of your weight pre-op, and gave you a liquid diet pre-op. Since he didn't i kind of went a little bursirk (msp) and ate a bunch of terrific foods, that i knew i should not have. I figured i would eat like there was no tomorrow. So i punished myself - but i learned the hard way.

So i guess i went on one of those food funerals. But my funeral lasted a couple of weeks. So i did gain weight. But that weight now is gone --but i have regrets that i goofed up, but its behind me and i am only going to look forward.

Good luck on your self imposed pre-op diet. I'm sure you'll do great. Then enjoy your long journey with the sleeve, it will be a wonderful experience for.

Good Luck
