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.

Good Luck hun!!

you know I am! Banded b*****s Unite!!!! Must protect the princess(mostly from herself).

One of my favorite sayings is "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it." I understand your fears and they are good to have now because if they are were you know them then they will always stay fears and never realty. I look forward to reading your blog and going through this with you.

congratulations~! thats ALOT. ive lost 14 during the meetings with my NUT but gained alot back. so far ive lost 4 pounds in 3 days since i started my liquid diet. i am allowed food so it is still hard and plus i have to cook for my daughter. ive been doing great i think its easy to cut out the snacks and carbs when u know it will make ur liver extra fat lol.l i def dont want 2 be opened up. good luck to both of us getting sleeved on the same day!!

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!

Great story!! I wish I could stop at 2-3 oz. of steak. Happy birthday husband.

Today is the 14th day of liquids for me. The last 48 hours I had to give up my shakes also but I am now on the final countdown. Surgery is tomorrow morning. Trust me girlfriend, if I can do this so can you! I was about to throw the towel in about a week ago but wrote in my journal and reminded myself why I am doing this in the first place. Its not that I can't lose the weight, its keeping it off! I want to be healthier so I can watch my grandkids grow up and not be one of those poor people I see in the nursing homes I visit. We can do this. Yes, every doctor is different. Mine seems to be a lot stricker than most of them so I hope my surgery is a breeze cause of it! You will not fail. That is not an option. PLUS we have this great discussion board and other people who know what we are going through to give us strength and help us through. I will keep you posted on my progress. Say a prayer for me Suzannetx!

thank you. I am dyslectic and can not spell and sometimes spell check can't figure out what I have tried to spell. Who cares, let's just talk and help each other.

People that criticize others for stupid crap like spelling and grammar on a forum like this just need to get a life, period. A lot of these people use their phone and you know all of the messed up messages that come across because your "smart" phone used its own word.
