VSGayle 33 Posted May 30, 2013 June 5th is coming fast! I have spent the last month doing the "lasts" like I do whenever I start a diet and have gained weight according to my dr.'s scale. I finally figured out how to do a ticker and am using my own home scale as my guide. I know that these are not "really" my lasts but it seems like such a long time before I will be able to eat normal (albeit) smaller meals again. I am really kind of nervous but so ready to take the first step...Dr. said to start the pre-op diet 5 days out but I started today...just want to get in the right mindset and try to lose a little before the surgery. Today wasn't too bad until I had an appointment in the afternoon and I forgot to bring a shake with me. By the time I was done my appointment, I was getting the shakes and a headache and felt like passing out but I still had to stop at the grocery store to pick up the stuff for my diet...soon as I got home I chugged a Protein Shake and then made some Soup. I laid down to try and calm my head and fell asleep. Headache is now a little better Anyone else do the "lasts" like I did? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

getlownurse 105 Posted May 30, 2013 Lifer, I'm 19. I switched to tea a few days ago. Ugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onegenericdude 14 Posted May 30, 2013 Was supposed to begin two week liquid diet on Memorial Day but had family BBQ so didn't start until yesterday (I know...excuses excuses). Not enjoying the shakes so much and I haven't been hungry really, but the constant headache is the worst part by far. Luckily I hear the headache goes away after 3 or 4 days and I'm down 5 lbs already so I'm using that as ammunition to continue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
