Hey' date='

I'm in Maideahead, Berkshire it's near Windsor.

How have you got in with your pre-diet? I tried mine today, it was hard sticking to 800 cals.

How much have you lost so far, I have around 220 lbs of lard to lose, how about you?

Hi Mary, I am into my 8th day on 800 Cal's, it does get easier after about 3 or 4 days. I am eating lots of salad or veggies to fill me up. I could have chewed my own fingers on the second night, best wishes, :-) Janet

diet pretty difficult! Struggling a bit and pretty scared its only 2 days away now! I'd like to lose about 100 lbs in weight in total. My BMI was 41 I've lost 14lbs since I started all this.

I'm 36, married with 2 kids age 11 & 9.

Morning Ladies,

Day two of pre-diet, it has to be better than day one! - feel more organised today for some reason.

Well done to you both, you've nearly made it, its all good. I would imagine the scare factor goes up as the day gets closer, a day nearer your dream to be fit and healthy. :)

I have read in a few places that the - pre-diet is worse than the surgery? LOL

Have a lovely day.

Hi Carly,

Welcome.

I'm Mary, 43yrs old, live in Maidenhead, Berkshire. I'm married with no children, unless you count twigs and georgie our cats LOL

I've already started my pre-op diet, its pretty tough but think I'm winning the battle now - I have my operation on the 20th, can't wait.

I want to start getting rid of my lard and have a normal life, when I don't have worry about buying clothes, sitting in chairs (and getting stuck) and finally getting in an aeorplane seat! LOL

Have you got much to lose Carly?

Take care

Mary

I wish I was on the milk diet I think I could cope better with it?! I could live on lf yogurt and sf milk jelly LOL

They've put me on an 800 cal diet, which I'm finding hard. I wonder why different surgeons have different diets?!

I have 200lbs to lose, going to be hard feel I'm up for the challenge with help from a good surgeon!

I completely get the stairs, more than 2 flights and i'm buggered LOL Oh yes, sexy clothes at looonnnnggg last LOL

Hi there!

I had my VSG surgery done on the 26th September so I'm currently 1 week and one day post op.

Good luck and don't be nervous. Think of your surgery day as the first day of your new life. I'm on the 2 weeks post op liquid diet at the moment and have lost a stone in just over 2 weeks (liver shrinkage diet + 1 week of liquids)!

Best of luck xx

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
