Trahan Caro 18 Posted April 30, 2015 Wow, thanks everyone for sharing. I just heard from my coordinator and it's seems I will be allowed to eat a bit (actual real food instead of shakes only) during the pre-op....As long as I don't eat more than 1000 cal per day! I feel like a kid at Christmas So happy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted May 1, 2015 Update: I only lost one pound since yesterday. So this is proof that your weight loss will slow down on your pre-op diet as your body becomes accustomed to the diet. The days that I felt like crap, the first two days, were the days I lost the most weight. I am going to try to get some more exercise in. Monday I will go on a full liquid diet and hopefully that will shock my system so that I can lose more weight before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted May 3, 2015 Update: So this is an interesting turn, the day before yesterday I ended up not losing any weight on my pre-op diet. I didn't gain any weight either. I was exactly the same as I was at the day before. So I was trying to rack my brain to decide if it was because of something I did. The only thing I could think of is that maybe my Protein shakes have too many carbs. So I thought about halving the Protein Shakes. However, later that night the family had steak for dinner. Now, I'm not a steak person. But I was hungry and they smelled so good that I could not resist. I ate one hot, juicy steak with some salt-n-pepper with no other Condiments. Later on I was curious to see how much calories it had. So I looked it up on Google and was shocked to learn that one steak has over 800 calories. So I started to freak out and just assumed that I had ruined my diet. I was dreading weighing in next morning. To my surprise I ended up losing a pound! I've come to realize that both God and the pre-op diet works in mysterious ways because I have yet been able to figure them out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted May 9, 2015 Update: I've finally hit 20lbs lost on my pre-op diet. I'm so happy! And I have a couple more days to surgery so I'm sure I can lose a couple more pounds on top of that. Again, for those just starting out on your pre-op or about to start on your pre-op, the first 2-3 days are horrible and I do mean horrible. However, it gets a lot better after that. Once you are used to the diet it's really easy to follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
