  1. I've strained my soups and just used the broth from it. It's much better than the regular broth, yuck! Or you can always slow cook your own broth and fill it with veggies and seasonings of your choice just watch the sodium. Good luck
  2. I agree, get that protein in. Sip protein first, it's the most important aside from water. Good luck
  3. Good thing is you recognize your mistake, it's never too late to correct it. You can do it
  4. No cal count, nothing but a pre op paper with food choices and how many servings I could have. I can have unlimited broth, sf Jello and Popsicles, crystal light or any 0calorie drinks, coffee or tea. And 1-2 servings of Protein shakes, half cups of skim milk-1serv, cottage cheese(yuck!), soy milk, light yogurt 1/8ozserv... So I'm lost really. Just concerned about the shakes. Thanks so much for replying
  5. I'm loving this! Thanks for sharing
  6. WTG on your weightloss so far. I have that dizziness going on as well if i get up too fast. Congrats on a job well done and thanks for sharing
  7. About how much protein would you say? I'm taking in 60g a day.
  8. How many calories, carbs and sugars are you taking in each day? I'm struggling to make it to 800 cals. I fear that at this rate I won't lose weight on the liquids and my body will go into starvation mode. It's tough not having a scale because I can't see if I'm losing any weight. I had got to a point where my body was burning fat and my metabolism had boosted from the norm. I don't want my body to go backwards I'm on day 5 of the pre op diet. Go to the doctor the day before surgery. I want to do my body more good than harm. Any feedback would be great. Thanks
  9. I'm consuming two a day during the pre op diet. Since they are so low in carbs and sugar, I was wondering if I could consume three a day. What are your thoughts on this? Any feedback would be helpful. Please share Thanks, Lala
  10. Almost there! everything will be great. Looking forward to your updates. Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery
  11. Yay!! Congrats!
  12. Cool! I have also noticed that I go to the bathroom more often. It even wakes me up out of my sleep, haven't had that happen since I was pregnant But Im glad you are doing well and we are pretty much doing the same diet. Only thing is, I find the broths to be very nasty. Besides that, everything is ok. Good luck and Im here if you need to talk. Message me anytime.
  13. I'm 5'4" and my first goal is 150
  14. That's great!! Congrats.
  15. That's awesome! I'm on day 3 so I know what u must be feeling. I'm so happy that you saw your weightloss that was a great motivational occurrence wishing you the best of luck. May I ask what are u consuming? How much? How often? Thanks
  16. Congrats on your new beginning. Good luck with everything. Looking forward to your posts post-op. blessings to you
  17. How much sugar free jello did you consume during your pre op diet? My instructions were I could have an unlimited amount. Just wondering. Thanks
  18. Hi. I too am kind of struggling with the liquids only. I wish I could have veggies. I'm only on day 2 and I just want to vomit from all the liquids. I'm trying to keep my mind focused on why I'm doing this. Congrats on your weightloss! That's awesome! Keep up the good work. You have just inspired me. How many shakes areu having a day?
  19. Lucky you. I have bad headaches and I'm on day 2. What are you taking in?
  20. Great suggestions. Thank you all so much. I'm getting sick of Jello
  21. Started my pre op liquid diet yesterday and i tried the broth. Unfortunately I felt like vomiting. Is there anything I can do to help with this? Thanks in advance. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Lala
