Terrib

You are hilarious. I love your story. I love coloring too, I'm not very good at sharing my crayons though, especially with 3 year old granddaughter who has no respect for stuff. How do you make Mandalas? Do you download them? (sorry for stupid questions, I'm a noob)

Thanks Kelly,Congratulations on your weight loss... I need to figure this out quick as I go on all liquids on the 20th of April. I went to a Herbalife Nurticenter today and got a shake, the first sip wasn't bad, but as it progressed, it tastes like feet.

Thanks so much for the replies... Heather, Cheri, Kelly and "FatBGone" I think I may quit the carbs ahead of time too. I am definitely a carbaholic. This is kinda scary though, isn't it? I mean, If it were this easy for me to lose weight, would I even need this surgery? I thought the part where I quit smoking after 35 years would be the hard part... little did I know...

I'm having a heck of a time losing the weight pre op..., I read other suggestions here that I should go ahead and start the hi protein low cal diet now, so I just got back from the health food store I bought a blender bottle and some unflavored Whey protein powder, also some samples of other stuff. But it's all fruit, chocolate, vanilla flavored. I was looking for UNJURY chicken flavor, but they never even heard of it there. So I need to search for a place that sells it.I'm following my diet (1200) and exercising ... (ran a mile in 10 minutes, Wii fit for 2 hours and got 5 stars on Michael Jackson Experience Thriller on "Inhuman" level). and still gained a pound.My doctor is just enough of a stickler to postpone my May 5th surgery. Also, what keeps you from being hungry when you go on all liquids?

Congratulations!

Hi, My name is Terri and I'm new here as of today. My surgery is set for May 5th and on April 20 I go in for my final consult with the nutritionist. and start the pre op liquid diet. I'm extremely nervous, my surgeon told me if I don't lose some weight before the surgery (I've only lost 3 pounds) he'll postpone it. I'm thinking, if it was that easy for me to lose weight, would I really need him? lol But anyway, I'm journaling my food intake, the hard part is the not drinking anything for 15 minutes before a meal and 45 after the meal. i get so thirsty, and I'm not sure what this is all about. My Wii fit literally just arrived a few minutes ago, So I'm hoping a little activity will help me. I'm hoping to lost 110 pounds and obtain a healthy lifestyle. Lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure. I'm 50 years old, and weight has only been an issue for me for the past 15 years. So that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I'm glad to be here because I get all freaked out about this quite often.
