Greetings, I plan to just tell everyone I am at a strong point in my weight watching and will only be able to have little. I expect most to commend me for my efforts. Good luck

Hip! Hip! Hooray!

I am on day 6 of my pre-op diet. I started on the November 7th. 10 days of low carb slimfast and Clear Liquids only. I envy some of the people on here that get to eat a lean cuisine for dinner But on the bright side I only have 4 more days until surgery (Nov 17th!) and I have lost 7 lbs since I started the diet.

Just go final thumbs up from insurance:thumbup: My heart goes out to you guys on the liquid diet. I get to have 3oz of meat 3 x a day and broth for 5 days.

Preop diet is so hard. I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast one for lunch then 4oz skinless chicken breast and 1 cup green veggies for dinner...I am on day 3 and just tired today day 1 and 2 were HARD I felt sick all day on those 2 days. I wish I hada scale so I knew if I was losing or not. I'm so sleeeeepy lol and cold. 11 more days of this yay lol

Congrats!!!!

Thanks! I just started panicking, because I only have four and a half days before my pre-op diet starts. I've been eating low refined carbs and having a lot of Protein Drinks as replacement meals, just to ease myself into it. But, now I feel like eating everything in sight! I feel like having a Diet Coke, too! ARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

Congratulations! You and I will be one day apart on everything. I start the pre-op on the 17th and have surgery on the 24th. We can check in on each other!

Eleven more days until band day! Pre op visit with my surgeon went well today. Stress test and echo in the AM. So everything is coming together. I am actually getting excited. Hubby is wonderful and very supportive. My employer was not happy because of the upcoming Holidays and staffing issues. I will be off until the week after Christmas due to the type of work I do. Oh well, I never miss work and I have Short Term Disability to cover so I am going to enjoy.

Looks like a lot of us will be thankful for no turkey on the 27th. I am trying to set things up in my business so they will leave me alone post surg for a week or so. It will be hard without telling them. I think will tell them they can email me but not to call. Where do they have internet but no phones?

[lindaloulynn 0]

Let me know when you find someplace without phones and with internet!!! But..when I last visited my family in Southern Indiana my cell phone would not work unless I walked to the top of a hill and internet was only dial up!!! That may be as close as you get.
