[minniemouse67 32]

QOTD: I'm 5'2 my goal weight is 135. My start weight is 270,135 is half of me. But I would love to be 115-120.

Today is my preop appointment. I didn't lose the whole 15 pounds the doctor asked me to. I lost 11. I hope it's good enough. I'm so nervous.

Good luck with your appointment! I'm crossing my fingers and toes 11 lbs is enough. I can't imagine they would put off surgery for being 4lbs short!

Just 22 days away...I'm so extremely excited. Only 3 Weeks left till the beginning of my new life. What's the first thing that comes to your mind, when thinking about your new life. My new life will be the beginning of the firsts. First to buy small small clothes, first to buy a swimsuit, first to scubadive, first to skydive....oh the life I see is far more exciting than the one im leaving behind.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is not being self conscious all the time! I also can't wait to enjoy going clothes shopping and wearing cute clothes, playing outside with my 3 year old without getting tired, going on vacation and wearing a swimsuit without shorts and a t-shirt over them, and being really active and doing fun things with my hubby!

Hey all. I started the preop diet today. So far so good. No headaches....no shiznits. I gave myself a schedule...every 2 hours. I strayed away a little and forgot my 415, that turned into 530 but whatever I feel great for not eating all day. And, you know what I realized? Since i started the pre-preop diet (meal replacement) I havent had the normal side pain that I always have. 1 day down, 15 to go.

Me too, well it's my pre-pre-op liquid diet (10 days is required). I have been okay too, surprisingly. My daughter is sick so I made broth for both of us. I am using myfitnesspal.com for tracking. If anyone else is on there please friend me: Mom_24

One day down, 20 to go. I did possibly deviate slightly. I took a can of chunk chicken and blended it in with the chicken broth, to add Protein and a bit of "oomph" but I will track it and see if it seems like it is counter-productive to the plan. I am about to head out and buy some unflavored protein at HEB, so I can try that next time.

Good luck futureskinnypants and everyone else starting or in the throes of pre-op! We can do this!

Awesome! I am SOOO hungry The guy in the cubicle across from me was chowing down on Taco Bell and I wanted to throw something at his head lol. We also had a rep come visit us today and he brought a huge tray of mini brownies. MEAN! I just drank my shakes and put on my headphones.

Have you tried the PB2? I put some in my chocolate shake today and it tasted just like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup. Yum!

Started my preop diet yesterday. 2 days almost down, 8 to go. It is not as bad as I thought, at least so far. My boss made my Jello jigglers with sugar free jello for my birthday and I have been munching on those through out the day.

What is PB2? I currently am using the the nectar protien and like it pretty well. I also have bullion, Decaf tea and crystal light all here at my desk.

PB2 is powdered Peanut Butter. It only has 45 calories for 2 tablespoons and 5 grams of Protein. It tastes really good mixed with chocolate Protein Powder.< /p>

Hmm, I'm not sure if it is sold in Canada. Here is their website: http://bellplantation.com/

I know you can buy it from Amazon but I don't know if they ship to Canada. I bought mine at GNC. I saw it at several health food stores here too.
