Cant Believe I Am Doing It!

[bandalyons83 46]

I am scheduled for surgery in about a week on Nov 6th! It is coming so fast! Yikes! I started to try to prepare myself by watching what I eat and portions. I am now on my pre op diet which is more flexible than most. I am allowed I have 3 carnation instant Breakfast shakes a day and two lean or smart ones meals. I started out weighing 268 on my first meeting with the doc 2 months ago and today I weighed 251! I can't believe I am actually loosing weight! I haven't been under 250 since before I had my first child 8 years ago! I am so excited to keep going and become a healthy person. Good luck to you all who have surgery this week and those who are fresh out of surgery!

HEY GIRL! i am day 3 on my pre op liquid diet and ive already lost 4 pounds?!! lol i weigh MUCH more than you so i wont disclose it here but it is very exciting to see the scale finally going down!

i cant wait for our drastic changes. and we are getting sleeved on the same day! its hard to believe my birthday is the day before. i keep forgetting that.

im preparing for hurricane Sandy over here. they closed my job and daycare today. it is nice to relax here at home

my pre op diet i am drinking Atkins shakes the doc says 3-4 a day. i am also allowed 2 things on this list a day:

2 oz of chicken

1 hard boiled egg

8 oz of greek yogurt

cottage cheese (which i hate)

im also allowed 2 cups of steamed veggies and 1 cup of raw a day.

so this morning i had a hard boiled egg and my atkins shake. for lunch i will have chicken and cucumbers. then dinner another shake.

wow its hard but its fun to see the scale going down. i should drag myself to the gym before the storm hits. good luck to you and i hope are surgeries go perfectly smooooth!!!!
