hello...i start mine on friday too. I was told i could have only 3 carnation instant breakfasts a day with two fruits. I can mix the fruit in with the Breakfast shake because it will hold you longer. The other thing is i can have as much Water, ice tea(crystal light) Jello things that you would eat right after surgury. I am dreading friday...i hope this week is slow, although...i am psyched too!!! I am all emotions here!! LOL

my surgery date is the 13 how many days do you have to be on liquid diet.. You dont have a ticker to show how much you need to loose.. keep in touch... Having a buddy is aways good. I live in chico cal.. so not to fair from you

i guess my ultimate goal would be 150...perhaps a little less than that. BUT...since i don't ever set up for failure (learned the hard way) i choose to loose weight and set little goals....like 30 pounds...at a time. I have a lot to loose...well i wouldn't be having the surgury if i didn't!! I can't wait to go shopping in regular clothing stores, running around the dog show ring, without worry of tummy showing...i can't wait!!

clv811 my surgery is also the 13th. We only have to be on South Beach Phase 1 for the week before surgery. I can't believe how fast your journey is. When I finally have surgery it will 7 months and 1 day since I put in my application. Do you think you had enought time to digest everything? I complained about the wait but realize now it has been good. When we first get weighed we have to go on South Beach and lose 5% of our body weight. I was very successful and almost lost too much and would not qualify! I will be thinking of you on the 13th!

put in blender and blend well. Add a little Water if necessary. makes about a cup and a half.

Citurs carrot:cool:

1 cup chopped or crushed pineapple with juice- chilled

!/2 cup chopped carrots

!/8 inch slice lemon with peel

ice cubes

Blend in blender . Makes almost two cups.

Celery w/citrus:smile:

1/2 cup celery

1 cup pineapple juice- chilled

1 tbsp lemon juice

ice cubes
