This would be a great question to be answered. I was thinking about the swallowing of fluids but thought it might be a little to forward to ask. So please excuse me if ur offended! Sent from my iPod touch using VST

I live in South America, so my diet focus more on "food" based Protein rather than Protein shakes. I started on Monday, so that puts me at day 6. Breakfast 1 Glucerna shake 1 natural fruit juice no sugar added coffee or tea Snack Low Fat Yogurt or Ice Cream lunch Liquefied Soup made of veggies, chicken, beef, or seafood strained sugar free Jello Snack Glucerna Shake dinner Same as Lunch I eat 2 cups of soup each sitting. My NUT wanted me eating about 120 grams of protein within that soup. I also am supposed to drink 7 cups of Water. I can still have 1 coffee and as much diet beverages as I like. I can say I have never been a big soda drinker and with as much other liquids I have to ingest it is hard to drink coke zero. I can also have another optional juice at lunch if I choose. It is fresh squeezed with no sugar. I have to say I am on day 6 and I am experience Ketosis. It is weird. I am not hungry and my breath is rank. I almost 7lbs down. They did not give me a weight lost requirement. I have to admit it is a true testament of will power. I must admit I want to eat something, but it is just to have that chewing sensation because I am not hungry. I also don't feel the need to cheat because I really want to go through surgery as smooth as possible. Good luck to you! I am schedule October 1!

It is not by choice, but the result of my pre-op diet which I am following as written.

How are you doing?

I have brushed 3x today and I am chewing gum as I type....my husband was like WHOA!

OMG, I have been on my preop since Monday. I have a horrible, horrible taste in my mouth. I can't get rid of it. Could I be in Ketosis? It is horrible and I haven't even had surgery yet!

Hope you feel better! I was sick the week before pre-op. It sucked. That is awesome that you have a friend to do that for you. I have to say I am spoiled. Our Nanny/Housekeeper has been making all our soups during this pre-op phase. She leaves on Saturday's and she made us soap for today and tomorrow. It has really made this process stress free. I just tell her what kind I want. My pre-op phase is not just broth. I can have chicken, shrimp, or beef as long as it is liquefied and strained. i have to say I am thankful for that. So all I have to worry about is what I am feeding my 6 year old. Hubs is eating soup with me.

Glad everyone is doing well in preparation for our upcoming dates. I am keeping myself busy today by getting ready for the yard sale on Wednesday. It is held at work. It is great timing since we will be moving back to the USA next summer. Plus I can clean up and get organized pre-surgery. I thought pre-op would be difficult today, but it has not been. I also have a massage appointment for this afternoon. Once I get past this weekend pre-op next weekend will be a breeze. I am almost 7lbs down. I think that is awesome considering it is less than a week on pre-op!

All of you look great!

YeAh we were cave people And it was hard finding that and the split in the skirt part was up my thigh and I have big thighs. One thing I can say is that after about 4 shots of tequila I was no longer worried about being the fat girl in the room. All though the sexy Indians and cats irritated the hell out of me! I can't wait until next Halloween! Sent from my iPod touch using VST

I love beer! I grew up in Germany so it was just a way of life. My husband and I are planning on going to October fest for our 40th. He reminded me last week that it will be different because I probably will not and cannot drink beer as I have had in the past. I told him we could go to Paris since I now have an appreciation for wine. I can't see going to October Fest and not being able to have all my favorite German Beer. It did make me sad.

Day 5, 10 more to go!

Looking good!

Well, I can tell you I was mortified when I use the word "BY" instead of "BUY" sometimes I am typing from my blackberry which I hate. When I realize my error, it drives me nuts. If it is a post I can change it, if it is title not so much!

Mine says 18 months to 2 years! I will be 40 by that time. I would really like to get preggo more around the 12 month mark, but we shall see. Good luck!

From everything I have read the larger we are the long distance between sizes. For instance someone that ways 130lbs and drops to 115lbs may lose 2 sizes. I wnet from 220 to 260 and I am wearing the same stuff! However when I got closer to 200 I dropped sizes. I expect I will have enough stuff to last me until at least 200lbs.

Yeah - I have supersized hips too. I can't wait to see where the weight comes off first. But I believe my bottom half will be the last to go! I love my shape. I also am told I carry my weight well. I used to have big boobs but had a reduction. The reiterate how much smaller I am up top!

Thank you! Good read.

Yeah!!! We are getting close!!!!

On my leave slip their is a box we check stating something to the effect of taking time to care for a family member due medical or dental. Not exact wording but that is what my husband put. We work in same place different agencies so I know everyone will be up in our business but by law we are under no obligation to tell them exactly whats up. Sent from my iPod touch using VST
