On My 7Th Day Of My L.q. Diet, 7 Days To Go, Then Sleeved!

I'm on my 7th day of my L.Q. diet. Seven days down, and 7 days to go until I'm sleeved! Wow, it's coming up fast now! I have waited 7 months to get this done since my insurance company said I had to do at least 6 months of diet and exercise. Well, I did it! I have lost 52 pounds so far, 47 pounds before I started my L.Q. diet, and 5 pounds since I started L.Q. diet. People are really starting to notice now! It's nice to hear, "Wow, Kathy you're looking great"! I still don't see me as "Looking great" yet! I have went from a size 26/28 W to a 20/22 W so far, and I'm happy about that, but I can't wait to be a size 12! I got to say, I am missing being able to eat certain things. Not "bad" things really, but meat, hot meals, vegetables, fruit, and things like that. I know it's only temporary, but some days it sure is rough not being able to have them. My husband is very supportive, but when he makes himself some "real food" that's when I feel like, "Oh man, can I do this"? The smell fills the house, and it makes me so hungry for what he's eating! I haven't eaten anything I'm not suppose to, but Lord knows it hasn't been easy! I have to give myself "pep talks" everyday telling myself, "You can do this Kathy"! I try to remember to look at the big picture, and how great it will be when I reach my goal. I'm so glad I joined this web site, because it helps knowing I'm not alone, and others are going through allot of these same feelings. Any advice on things we can have on this L.Q. diet that are hot, and not cold? I can't have just any soup, because I have gluten allergies, and allot of soups have gluten(Wheat) in them. :( Thanks for caring, and reading my blog. :) Kathy

Congrats to you. You are going to do great because you put so much hard work and dedication into it before your approval.

Remember go into the surgery with the same positivity and focus and you will do great.

It's been an amazing journey for me and I am sure it will for you. I've had some ups and downs but I have always tried to remain positive and it's worked out great.

Good luck to you!

Congratulations on your weight loss and upcoming Sleeve date!! I am Pre-Op and have lost 44 pounds since July and went from a size 28 to a size 20. I have been following a low carb lifestyle which I think will help with the liquid diet as well. I have a protein shake for breakfast, Greek yogurt for lunch and a light dinner. I try to walk at least three times a week on my treadmill along with weight training.A lot of the dinner's I prepare I do in a low carb way like making mac & cheese I use cauliflower for...I also have made lasagna with Dreamfield pasta as there is 5g of carb instead of 41g and it tastes the same.
