May surgeries!

so I'm freaking out! The doctor wants me to lose 5 more lbs before surgery which I thought would be fine but I'm stuck, haven't lost anything in a few weeks. So I tried to do sort of a liquid diet and it was horrible!!! Yesterday I had a shake for Breakfast and was starving within a few hours, I had a few nuts and made it to lunch but couldn't make it til dinner and had some Jerky. So this morning I had a shake and was hungry pretty much as soon as I was done and drinking Water make it worse! How are you guys doing it? I'm going to have to do it for only 3 days but i'm really worried!

I start my liquid diet on Monday. Time is really moving fast. I am nervous but extremely excited too. I am taking my granddaughter tomorrow and have what I call my "last meal", before only liquids. We will have fun

Debbie I feel on that one I think that when my day come I going to pee in my pants because my nerves are killing me now so imagine then lol

Right!! Me too...I'm going to cry on the day of surgery...I know it! Only in the car on the way to the hospital. My hubby has been my rock through all of this. I can't ask for a better husband. He will make sure I have my composure before I get there.

So far so good....well I'm only on day 5 of the diet but so far I have lost 18 pds I am trying not to think about it to much but when I do I get a little nervous. I guess I'm so focused on my liquid diet that it really hasn't been that bad. I'm getting more encouragement that I'll do good so that has been helping. I just can't believe that it's almost here!!!!!

That's fantastic!!! Your doing a great job. Wow already 18 lbs. I can't wait to start my pre op diet on Tuesday.

You can do it!!! I would start as if its your pre op diet and drink the water, and some Protein drinks...protein fills you up. Good luck.. you can definitely fight through this and get those five pounds lost. It's all for you and this new journey. Make it happen. Chew gum even. Keep us posted.

First - breath You will be fine. Trust me when I started my liquid I was doing it wrong then my nut made some suggestions and it has helped. I am eating about every 2-3 hours and this has be a life saver. This is what I have been doing....

7AM Breakfast: 1 scoop of muscle milk Protein Powder in 12 oz of water

10am Snack: 1 scoop of muscle milk Protein powder in 12 oz of water

SF Jell-o (this is what has saved me)

1pm Lunch: 1 scoop of muscle milk protein powder in 12 oz of water

4pm Snack: 1 scoop of muscle milk protein powder in 12 oz of water

SF Jell-o

7pm Dinner: 1 scoop of muscle milk protein powder in 12 oz of water

2 cups Organic Range Free Fate Free chicken broth (trust me when I say this will taste awesome)

If I get hungry at night I go for the Jell-o. I also try and get in water aerobics a few times a week.

I know that you can do it and will do great. Head hunger is the worse and trust me I still have it. I wanted tacos from Taco Bell last night but went straight home and had my broth.

Thanks. I still have the weekend to fight with and all next week. I think that being on a schedule with my food has helped. It's crazy how I am just dropping all this weight. I can't wait to see how much I drop before surgery.

Are everyone's Dr's requiring them to lose weight BEFORE surgery?

I was doing the 3 shakes a day and was just having a hard time just like you mentioned before. This should help you and if you are still having issues come here and I'm sure we'll help you figure it out

[Shannalee 65]

Mine is not but because he is requiring me to do the liquid diet 2 weeks before he was certain I was going to lose weight. My goal is to be under 400 but that is my goal and not my docs.
