I did get a little discouraged today because I weighed myself and I am at the same weight I was on Monday when I saw the Dr. I was just thinking man all this dedication to this diet and it hasn't moved since then... I mean I am at 9 pounds but I thought for sure a little more would have came off. I am supposed to start TOM on surgery day so I am not sure if that has any thing to do with it ..... ughhhh

I can have non-starchy veggies on my pre diet. I think that has helped. But I haven't eaten them every day. Did have a nice salad tonight though (lettuce carrots and cucumber with basaltic vinegarette dressing ). It felt like cheating, so good. I had almost forgotten what a fork was..LOL!!!

Well in post-op you may gain. I came home six pounds up. All those fluids just hang in your body. I know in a few days it will be gone and I will be feeling better than ever. But I hate seeing those extra lbs on the scale!

You mean you didn't have to drink it through a straw?! SOOO jealous. I am not feeling too much hunger but I am missing food. My mom had the nerve to go out of her way to feed my husband and daughter this morning and of course she cooked bacon and eggs! Wench.

Seriously, I don't know where we would be without the extra help from mom and dad. But the smell was killer. Brought on a mix of nausea and envy. Lol.

As far as a trip goes- I live in New Orleans, ladies. We could meet up here, as well!

Love New Orleans. My bf lived in chalmette for a while. Relatives in Terrytown. I'm definitely down for that!!!!

SuperFab which unflavored Protein do you use? I know you've mentioned it before. I have the Bariatric Advantage (I know you can't use that) and I like theirs but its slightly sweet. So I can't mix it with savory things, like that oh so fabulous chicken broth. Lol.

Right now I'm using the unflavored from my bariatric clinic. No actual brand on the tub. Just their clinic name. I've tried a few and about time is my favorite. I have some from Herbalife that I've tried n it's not too bad.

Guys. I cheated tonight. With broccoli. Hahahahaha. It was the best broccoli I've ever had! Even though it was plain and boring.

Ur fucking kidding me!!!! I swear I made garlic shrimp and steamed broc for dinner for everyone. I snagged a small floret. Just a tiny one. It was so fresh and was calling my name.

I was allowed lean Protein and veggies for the first 10 days. Lol

Better then something like pizza or something super fatty and carby. Just be careful with the cruciferous veggies. They can cause major gas which may not be helpful so close to surgery!

I wasn't. But doc did let me have Greek yogurt twice a day because of the antibiotics I was on. That was my life saver! I want some now. Lol.

      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.
