I found that doing the Protein Powder in the morning around 11 helps in keeping me full until around 2. I then may have chicken broth. Around 3 I drink a Protein Shake and another around 7. In between I have popsicles, Jello, and Water.

I seem to go well on the days where I take my medications and Vitamins early (6am-8am). Then, depending on heat and the level of my activity, I usually have a Protein Shake between Noon and 2pm.

A watery blender fruit-salad (4-5 strawberries, half a small, green banana, 7-9 small frozen cubes of mango) is sometimes a top-up prior to dinner.

Dinner is usually 225g-335g of mixed veggies stir-fried with a dessertspoon of curry powder or turmeric. A couple of days I add 2-3 egg-whites for extra Protein.

By about 8pm, I slowly swig another protein shake. On a warm night, I have a couple of 300mL mugs of hot, black tea.

Works for me!

God knows I'm trying to get into the groove of it but it's more like a win-a-day/lose-a-day with me. I don't have to do the pre-op diet either (except for day before and then only after a good breakfast) so having difficulty with the whole getting in the right mood thing!

Hi, Which surgeon in NJ?? I'm from NJ too. My surgeon is Dr. Trivedi from Advanced Laproscopic

10/12 - today I almost felt like canceling. I’m super nervous I will fail.

First day post op. Not a lot of pain. I woke up with some but the meds worked. Now I’m not using much at all. I walked 3 times today and sat up in a chair for a bit. Napping a lot lol. One day at a time!

Make a pact with your wallet and your body.

Your wallet says you should not want to do this again (or another way). It costs a bundle.

Your body does not deserve the grief of failing after a surgeon hits your wallet hard to give you the head-start you've been needing to kick off your better future.

Get your head right. You truly know that nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

Also 12th for me ... but I'm only an hour west of the International Date Line from OCT to APR thanks to daylight saving.

I'll probably be 12 to 16 hours done when you are operated upon in the USA.

I am scheduled for 10:30 am tomorrow... I pray things go as smooth as yours!!! Glad to hear you are on a good road to recovery!
