Is it just me or does it seem like we have a lot of really beautiful people on this site? Half the time I see women's avatars I think they are already post op and find out they are pre op.

Thanks!!! And I wish u all the best! ! The first few weeks it was all mind over matter. I still wanted to eat what I saw but obvi couldn't. Just sip sip sip ur liquid. I did Decaf tea every morning and my Protein Shakes from GNC throughout the day. It was called lean shake it's strawberry and it's delish!! I didn't follow the diet perfectly. I tried new foods and had mashed potato and diced up chicken mixed up like 4 weeks out. But my nutritionist said it's normal to try things and if I'm feeling ok that it was fine. I also go walking and started walking like 3 weeks out. Like 2 hours a day.

Thanks! 6 months total from the start of my preop diet till I reached surgeon's goal. My personal goal is normal BMI, so another 10 pounds. I find excercise very boring so the only formal exercise I've done is riding my recumbent bike 20-25 min 3-4 times/week over the last 2 months. I can do that and watch TV at the same time. Haven't been to a gym in at least 6 years....used to do Curves. My life is my real excercise....I am a vet tech so a I am basically doing Pilates and squats and "lifting weights" all day long. I also have horses, and just last week had to unload and stack a ton and a half of hay (literally....50 bales that weighed 80# each)
