Any October surgeries out there...

[lmgriego 47]

My 2 week pre-op diet has been full liquids...broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, Protein Shakes, high Protein nonfat yogurt and sugar free beverages. I have been averaging 75 grams of protein and maybe 600-700 calories a day. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. As of Friday I had lost 10 pounds. I haven't cheated at all. My motivation is the possibility of no longer having to inject insulin 4 times a day and worrying that I won't be alive to see my grandkids (a long time away since my son is only 9...lol) Tomorrow is only Clear Liquids all day and nothing after midnight. Surgery Tuesday morning. Busy getting the house, my son and I ready. Challenging being a temporary geographical single mom, but I have good friends supporting me. Good luck everyone and best wishes for much success on your journeys!

Molly I was weak during my pre-op diet. I let temptation get the better of me. Im not perfect, but according to my self evaluation, I did very well pre-op in comparison to how I was eating before. I am example of a sinner saved by grace.

I'm so glad that you have done well since the surgery. No one is perfect. Time to dust off and move on, eh?

Good luck to everyone. My surgery date is October 16th. I go in for pre op tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous I've been struggling with my weight for over 20 years now. So glad to have found some like minded ppl to network with.

Lynn did you see dr tanner more than once before surgery?? I've only seen him once and the only appt I have left is the preop class next week.

I did but I also have a band. I went in 2 weeks ago and had my Fluid pulled out. I can't believe tomorrow is the big day. EXCITED AND NERVOUS

Dee you are the only other 28th that I have seen. Counting down. When do you start your pre-op diet? I saw nutritionist yesterday. Start on Monday. Excited for the home stretch of waiting. Been very emotional. My poor boyfriend deserves a medal for putting up with me.
