Ready Already!

Am expecting to have surgery at the end of June. I am using MFP to track all my good, and my NUT suggested a low carb high Protein diet, but I am having trouble sticking to it. I am tracking everything, but I am unsure of what my pre-op nutritional goals should be and I put in for a 2 lb loss per week but seem to be going over in calories and sodium. My NUT said 15g of carbs at a time, spaced 3-4 hours apart, but MFP gets mad at me!

I'm just so ready to go, and have strict guidelines to follow and actually see results. I think I have lost one pound in 3 weeks

Thanks Cupcake! Good luck with your procedure, and you are almost on the loser's bench! I am nervous about the liquid diet, but I know I can do it! Patience is not my virtue Can you tell?

Don't worry you are not alone in the lack of patience department. My surgery is scheduled for June 25th and it cannot get here fast enough. My psychiatrist is having to change my meds cause I am having so much anxiety from having to wait. I am driving my self nuts...lol.

I have also set a little goal for myself before surgery. I plan on being less than 300 on the day of my surgery. So far I am losing about a pound a week. I was stuck hovering at 310 for three weeks, so I understand the frustration. Honestly, I did not stick to my diet very well this weekend. I am slowing inching my way back on it though. I hope I can meet my goal before surgery. My surgeon doesn't help though using the scare tactic of putting in the pre-op paperwork than you cannot gain weight before surgery or it will be cancelled.

Good luck on your weight loss journey!!!!
