Wow and how was it? I only have 2 days but i have been on low carb no sugar just to lose some pounds before. So far i have loss 3 pounds in a week.

The second day was the hardest, then the last few days were getting hard, I was on a full Liquid Protein diet. I was able to have one can of 98% fat free Soup each day, that was what kept me sain I think! Lol. On the good side I lost a total of 32 lbs though. Everytime I thought about eating something I would ask myself " is this food worth (maybe) getting my surgery cancelled?" The reply was always the same..... HECK NO. LOL

Hi everyone, speedy recovery to those who have had surgery and good luck to all March Sleevers. I started my pre op diet 02/22/13 and have lost 2.2 kg in one week. Was quiet blown away with that as I thought I hadn't lost any weight.

Continuing with the diet but did laps yesterday, went 50 calories over my limit. My surgeon has put me on a 1000 calorie diet as he wants me to have one meal of meat & veggies or salad. I've been doing this surprisingly well. Started my regular pre op walking today. Really enjoyed the walk in the warm Aussie sun with the dogs. Getting a bit nervous about Friday, but also quiet excited as I know I will succeed this time. I'm ready to face a life with a reduced stomach and for the next 3 months to eat to care for my sleeve so I don't get any post op complications :)

I am up this coming Tues March 5th' date=' 11:50am on the O.R. schedule. I have managed very well on my pre-op, lost 11 pounds so far. I plan on taking my iPad in with me just so I can post here and I know for a fact that Valley has very good WiFi. You see I work there and I am the first person people call when they have computer problems! :D

I have been plugging along since October. I started my two week preop on Feb 19. Steadfastly doing what I need to do to prepare with little in mind other than following the rules.

But now that the real deal is only 3 days away, I'm starting to freak out. In a good way, sorta. The dreams are starting and I am getting those terrible butterflies that I used to get before going on stage.

That kinda freak out. It's really happening, you know?[/quote']

Good luck MiisFae and congrats on such a great weight loss pre surgery.

Kyeta,

Thank you! We are not alone. I love that I found this group! I've enjoyed reading every single post, but I'm just learning how to navigate the site. I couldn't figure out how to reply until I realized I had to sign in! lol Now I have to figure out how to message someone so I can sign up for the fb page! lol

I wish you the best, Kyeta. I think my thyroid is border-line low, but they won't give me anything for it because I have atrial fibrillation. I just had surgery to fix the a-fib in December. That surgery was a breeze! Imagine that, they can operate on your heart and you're back to work in a week, but this stomach thing is going to take a little longer to recoup from! :-0

Hi there, can you add me to the 'march calendar' ----I'm going in March 4th! It's kinda cool that another leo is getting sleeved on the same day!

I'm packing for all my kiddos and did grocery shopping, for the 3 who are staying at home with a family friend. I think I've got everything for them, and for me.... my husband is bringing 2 of my kids to my parents' home and the third is already at the neighbours. I've got to head over there just to go over phone numbers, health card, all that stuff.

I have not had enough today - I've only drank maybe 6 glasses of clear liquid and am going to have some broth a little later. I'm scared to even admit this but I think I'm getting sick!! Two of my 6 kids have the flu and have wanted lots of momma time. I couldn't deny them but I'm not feeling great and am just PRAYING that its just from being tired and a bit dehydrated. I'll try to rectify both today and tomorrow.

I've been praying for all of you on this list and if you are so inclined to do the same for me I would really appreciate it! Sending love health and well wishes!

      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.
