cant they kinda figure out if your so far so good when you have your pre op with the surgeon?

i called and asked and they said the surgeon prefers you try and drop 10lbs or anything just not gain. so even if its you dropped 1 or 2 he prefers that over gaining. and im scared to tell them i kind of gained so would i be ok cuz i dont want them to push it back

what i wouldnt do for some greens!!!!!!!!!! roscoes chicken and waffles have some bomb greens...n mmm waffles n they mac n cheese. ahhh!!! lol im worried cuz when i weighed in for first surg appt i was 293 since january..i ate whatever i wanted till i found out i was officially approved by then i gained 16lbs. so i was at 309. im at 303-305 now. but it wont budge and go down! im worried i wont get back to atleast the weight i was when i had my initial consultation. so im cutting it close with my surgery scheduled for 15 days.

alovio, i noticed you've lost 73lbs and your surgery was on 4/20. how much of that was pre-op and how much since surgery? congrats on 73lbs lost!!

u lost 9lbs since yesterday?! work it! congrats!

hey lady! how long have u been on your liquid diet to have lost 10lbs?

im in so-cal too! =] in garden grove in orange county. you? i go in may 10th. lucky you no liquid diet!

HEY girlie, im on protein shakes also. but ive only lost 3 lbs. hows your progress?

hello all! my surgery is May 10th and i was wondering since Vitamins post op will have to be chewables, what exactly will i need? what vitamins do i need to make sure i have and how much of each do you need? ex: chewable Vitamin d...sublinggual...etc.. thanks much! whats your list of vitamins look like?

I just got home, my husband is eating carls jr and my parent ordered pizza... I swear im so mad I can't eat, in on the verge of tears. Its not just the fact that I can't eat...but how come they can eat whatever and not gain like me... !? Its not fair. But let me tell them how I really feel or even cry and I look like I'm that addicted to food. Srry just venting

GOT IT! THANK YOU!

well my doc wants 2 week liquid Protein diet prior to surgery. NO food. they told me drink 3 Protein shakes a day to replace 3 meals a day and Water in between. brutal much? lol. but since i gained 14lbs since my inital doc consul and i WAS 293 at that time...then i got up to 307 from telling myself im going to enjoy food now since its kinda like goodbye to it...lol. bc of that i decided to do an extra week of Liquid Protein to take off what i gained plus what the doctor expects (-10lbs) so all together i need to lose 20lbs. yikes! im at 304 this morning so hopefully ill get there =] ps. im hungry lol

im may 10th too! i cant believe in 20 days ill be doing this! ahh!

your protein shakes are thick? i mix my whey protein with milk and blend. not really thick though....am i doing it wrong?

i havent had my surgery yet but i feel im loksing my mind on the pre-op! lol its only been like 2 days but i got home yesterday and threw my sweater on the floor climbed in bed and cried saying i wanna eat! my husband started laughing. and then i did to. its crazy how attached to food one can become! im sure itll be hard for me too but i know that once i lose this weight itll make a world of difference! i wish you good luck! u got this!

I'd love a copy if you can! Mz_swanson 08@hotmail.com

i actually havent bought the chicken broth bc i didnt know that was considered clear liquid protein. oops!. im going to go to ralphs today and see what i find. i mixed the protein shake with water and i sooo did not like it. so i tried it with milk and it was better. i was actually wondering about mixing fruits with it too, bc i love buying the frozen packaged ones in the frozen sections of the store...or does it have to b fresh?

i wonder how or why your taste buds change?? i bought 3 tubs at walmart. 2 chocolate 1 strawberry. all together $60 they had told me to use them as a replacement for 3 meals a day. i was just confused on how many calories i should be takin in from Protein shakes a day.

they told me use them as a replacement for 3 meals a day.

oooh! im gonna get chicken broth and crystal light! i bought strawberry and chocolate. i bought three tubs at walmart. they didnt have much selection the strawberry is ok drinkin it its the aftertaste that is kinda ugh but its probably only bc its new to me. but by trying the chicken broth and crystal light itll let me switch it up as i go. surgery is may 10th ahhh!

ooh! i get it! thank you! thats what confused me..was the word "clear". i thought like see through and i was staring at my Protein trying to see if i could see through it. wow. lol i know i know. one last questions if it says 1 scoop=140 calories. how many times should i drink this a day and how many scoops per time?

ok so i think i messed up... ALREADY! i started my Protein liquid diet yesterday. i had bought Body Fortress whey Protein powder. im supposed to be on a clear liquid diet. ONLY. no food. call me dumb but if i mix it with milk...is it still considered a clear liquid diet? i feel dumb asking that..lol my IQ just dropped by the way haha thanks in advance!

oh ok! do you by any chance know if you have a pre-op liquid diet how many grams of protein you should be gettin in a day?

Thank you to both of you!!! i really appreciate it. finally some clear cut direction lol

and just for the record...i didnt wait until the last minute bc im irresponsible...lol. i just got paid yesterday =]
