rapf777 14 Posted August 30, 2012 SSOOOOO EXCITED. Just came back from the doctors for final pre-op appt and I got weighed in and lost a total of 13 pounds in 9 days!!!!!

Surgery is less than 5 days away!!!! Totally EXCITED now!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmyWemy 32 Posted August 30, 2012 Congrats on doing your pre-op weight loss goal! After entering the bariatric program where I was it took me 7 months to get into the mind set of 'wanting' to really drop the initial weight. Wishing you a speedy recovery from surgery, and of course, much success! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rapf777 14 Posted August 30, 2012 rap what did you have on your liquid diet. i started mines today. started out with watered down oatmeal. how often did you drink your liquids was it when you were hungry or you just drank like every hour Slim fast 2x a day. I also drank ALOT of fluids through out the day....I would mix in crystal lite into a 1 litre bottle and drank 3 of those a day which is 120 oz...Soup as well through the day...mainly broth but sometimes I had reg Soup and pureed it and TONS and I mean TONS of Jello sugar free of course...but if I REALLY felt hungry I would eat a salad with fat free dressing (Lettuce and tomatoes only) but when Hubby was eating something I loved I would ask him for a bite and that would take wanting to eat more than I should....It is not easy but I did take it one day at a time!!! Good Luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
