tiffdmill 26 Posted August 25, 2014 So, I am finding that my surgery is all I think about!! Ha! It's hard to focus on anything else for long periods of time. I'm both excited and nervous. I keep wanting to ensure I do as much as I can to prepare. Just a little over a week to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleevexcited 56 Posted August 26, 2014 Today was first day on liquid diet with 1 food meal!! It went good! I shipped at costco, and picked up Premier Protein drinks, and muscle milk lite- my Dr doesn't want me to drink less than 20g of protein- My husband grilled me chicken tonight and I measured out my Protein, grilled veggies and had a small salad- I'm to have 1 more Protein Shake before bed- which is perfect for after my walk. Surgery is 9/8/14, and I see my surgeon for the last time tomorrow until surgery! I am down 17 pounds from initial appointment with him- Do you know what the average pre op weight loss is?? I'd like to be down a total of 25 pounds before surgery. How did everyone else do that started their preop diet today?? This is OUR month!!! Woot woot ! ????????????

wunnabesexy 15 Posted August 27, 2014 I have surgery on the 8th also. I am lucky, my dr does not do the liquids pre op diet. I just have to limit my carbs to less than 55 per day. So that has not been to bad. I hate Protein Drinks so I have been experimenting with different brands and have actually come up with a few that dont tast bad. I like nectar brand and matrix coffee Protein drinks. I have only lost 10 pound since my initial appt and my final appt with my doc is today also!! SO EXCITING!!! I would love to follow your progress also. I dont know how to add friends as i am fairly new to this site. but i would add you if i knew how Today was first day on liquid diet with 1 food meal!!It went good!I shipped at costco, and picked up Premier Protein drinks, and muscle milk lite- my Dr doesn't want me to drink less than 20g of protein-My husband grilled me chicken tonight and I measured out my protein, grilled veggies and had a small salad-I'm to have 1 more Protein Shake before bed- which is perfect for after my walk.Surgery is 9/8/14, and I see my surgeon for the last time tomorrow until surgery!I am down 17 pounds from initial appointment with him-Do you know what the average pre op weight loss is??
