Today is day 4 on the liquid pre op diet. Yesterday I made myself some yummy homemade Tomato Soup and added unflavored Protein Powder. My grandson who is 6 ate Soup with me instead of what the rest of the family was having(with no Protein powder). He is so sweet! Down 6 pounds so far on the liquid diet!

Has everyone taken their measurements? My hubby helped me take mine before I started my pre op diet. Can't wait to see them going down! I think this May also be beneficial during the dreaded stalls I have read about! God bless you all in your journey!!

I'm not one for measurements I go by how I feel and how my clothes fit.

I did take my measurments but I want to do it again before I start my preop.

Have any of you taken before pics yet? I was gonna have my mom do them but she's really sick so I sucked it up and asked my hubby if he will. I'm nervous about that tho, I hate the idea of him focusing on my weight lol. Weird I know

August 18 here. Lost 65 lbs since June, including the 26 lbs since I joined the Geisinger Nutrional Clinic which is where I will be having my bypass. I have an appt on the %th for preop and to meet the anest.....Oh heck the guy that puts you to sleep. Getting excited, bought Protein powder and a shaker bottle to mix it in. Been told a Sippy cup keeps you from drinking too fast, might have to use my great grandson Matty's cup. :)

Been fat ever since I can remember. My health became very bad last spring, doc thought I had a silent heart attack. I am so tired of being out of breath when I walk, ore exert myself even a little. Cared for my husand after prostrate cancer treatment two years ago and realized that I have to be healthier to care care of him when he needs me to. Also want to stick around for a while and see my great grand kids grow up.......One due to be born any day now.

Oh yeah 63 years old here Even though I mentally feel about 16 most times

11 days until my surgery! The liquid pre op diet is getting easier for me since I started making my own Soups. And I found a Protein Shake I really like. It's expensive so I only drink one a day as a treat . It's Core Power Light made by the CocaCola company. The chocolate is yummy and the strawberry/banana is good too! I hope everyone is having a good day! God Bless!

      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.
