I can't believe surgery is almost here! Tuesday is my surgery. Down 10 pounds so far in the pre op diet. Good luck to everyone who has their dates coming up and wishing everyone well who already had theirs!

Yeah' date=' I did Friday night. eggs topped with lf cheese. Couldn't help it. Was so dragging. But I'm not going to beat myself over it. Back on track and focused. I'm not a big eater, my problem is I don't eat normally and when I do its usually dinner, I don't like to eat by myself, I don't want people to look at me and judge me, so I usually eat with my family in my home. Which is bad, I know because it forces my body to store everything as fat. I still have a week and have committed to finish it out.[/quote']

hw much have u lost

Did you have to swallow barium for your preop tests? If so, it is the same thing. They give you contrast---yuck-- and make you swallow it to make sure the sleeve is working and not leaking. My first test failed because my sleeve was too swollen to let anything through. Yesterday it went great!

Congrats to you and thanks for the explanation

WOO HOO!!! 1 week from tomorrow for me!! I am down 10 pounds so far from my shakes. How are all my August 19th surgery mates doing on their pre op diets so far?

I'm down 10 pounds as well LSU and the 19th can't get here soon enough. In our pre op we have the choice of Protein Bars or shakes. Thanks to you guys, my newfound discovery of Quest bars and adding crystal light to vanilla Protein Shake powder to "customize" them has made it more interesting.

Side note: as an Ole Miss law alum, this may be the most cordial conversation I've ever had with a LSU fan lol
