I've never been skinny. Single digit sizes is probably my ultimate goal. My skinny was 175 and a size 14. And I thought I was fat. Now I'd kill to have that body again!!!

I started my liquid diet on Friday. It's Sunday and I've done really well. I was really worried that it would be harder that it has been. My gf has been rather supportive in not bringing in my favorite foods, I've not been too awful hungry tho. I understand that this is in my best interest and I have got to do this. My surgery date is creeping up on me and I'm getting both excited and really nervous. Thursday is my big day, the day that my whole life changes. I almost feel like I'm about to be reborn as a healthier more active person.

Well, I've unintentionally sabotaged my pre op diet. I wasn't paying attention to my Protein shakes...between the powders and the soy milk, I've been going well over my carb target, usually before dinner. :-( And my usual mindset tried to kick in, which said "oh well, may as well eat whatever you want to now since you've screwed up." But I know that tomorrow is a new day, and I'm going to get it right. I'll just be sooooo glad when I don't feel hungry...that's the benefit of RNY that really sold me. But for the next 11 days, I'll be meal planning...I always do better when I plan ahead and stop trying to wing it. I do feel a but less worried about these first messed up days of my diet since some surgeons say no diet, some say liquid. I guess it's not the end of the world because these have been successful surgeries on either end of the spectrum. Sorry for rambling...just trying to make myself feel better. :-/

I'm no doctor but I'm sure they give extra days so everyone can work a little less in the beginning. I wasn't put on restriction but what scared me from overeatting was the doctor telling me he will do lap but if my liver is too large, he will have to do it the vertical cut. You sound like you got your head in the game now and will be fine.

I am 5'5" and was 258 and a tight size 18 at the start of my pre-op diet. I see many people who weigh less than me and wear much bigger sizes. I guess I truly an big-boned. I wouldn't want to weigh any less than 160 and I'm not even sure I want to lose that much. 170 may even be better for me. I've lost 10lbs in 6 days on my pre-op diet and my mom said maybe I won't need surgery. I'm like yeah right.

My husband just said the same thing. I began trying on jeans that were too tight. They all just slid on without any struggle. I was so excited and he made the comment....why don't you just forget about the WLS and keep it up. Umm NO!!!! The only reason I have dropped 17 lbs is because of this liquid diet!!! I'm too excited over here! Ready for Tuesday :)

I just want to quickly post the names of everyone who will be going in for surgery this week. Please pray or send them good thoughts as surgery isn't easy and we will all be facing it soon. Good luck to our friends who go in this week! I will pray hard for your safety, peacefulness, and healing throughout everything. Love my Junebugs! <3

That's exactly what my husband said to me because I have lost nine lbs in almost three weeks on the liquid diet. God at this rate I would be on liquids for a year. Bleah!

Thanks for the good wishes. I go in tomorrow. My Mom is a cancer patient with incurable disease and is worried sick, I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with her reassuring her that i'll be ok. She's insistent on 'being the Mom' for me but she is so ill she needs to be in the hospital herself. Also, my cousin goes in for a c-section tomorrow. Prayers for my whole family are appreciated!

      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.
