I am another one who weight myself in the morning before any food intake. I just think that it should be consistence time, so you better see the weight difference.

I had my first appointment with Doctor on July 23rd and my surgery schedule for September 7.

Girls, who are on liquid diet. Does your body goes to starvation mode and you didn't loose a lot on liquid pre op. I just wonder if this can happened.

Looks like there are 4 of us

Keep up the great work!!!! the changes are amazing....

Base on my experience. I am only Day 3 on my liquid diet ( clear liquid) so I am looking 1-2 lb per day. but I was able to loose 10lb just eating moderate for 1 months. the total you can see in the ticker.

I am another fan of VS and I can wear their bra now . but I want to fit in their top/blouse and swimming suit. so this is the great victory!!!

I have 7 and twins 3yo. so I think I will just tell them that mommy's belly hurt and if need might show it. I know their teacher in daycare had gallbladder removed and she just tell them that her belly is Oych!!! and they understand and was trying to do everything themselves. so I hope this would work for me as well. the 7 yo is bigger problem he like to hug mommy

Feelsme2, I need to survive by day 4 , yes But I still feel your pain with combination of both unpleasant things... I am sure I can handle that, just don't understand why we are not allowed vegetables. Are you on clear liquid as well? My surgery is on Friday as well. sometimes I think I am enjoying cooking for my family. but not sure how to handle the time when they are eating I am trying to eat sugar- free jello at the same time at least I would be eating... another idea came to my mind. What if I mix the broth with gelatin. I think it would be good meal as well.

newgrandma, I am not allowed to eat a lot what you can. my day today: Breakfast: cup of water with lemon and cup of Coffee. ( cannot survive without it) snack: protein shake Lunch : protein shake and water. Snack: chicken broth ( cooked myself ) + water dinner: sugar free jello + water before bed: water with lemon+ 1 teaspoon honey. total 70 g protein per day I think.

May I join your club? Day 1 of pre op diet and feel bad. not because i am hungry but because I am nauseous. I even think I "overeat" my liquid today because I hope that if I drink it would go away.... it doesnt....

as I know they usually fix it during your surgery. Talk to your Doctor.

newgrandma, not sure how you handle first 2 days. today is day one on my liquid and it start with terrible headache which was gone after 2 pills of Tylenol. And it ending with Nausea and feeling like my vitamins stuck in my throat. In the evening I was so angry at everyone that all my kids went to bed at 8:00 pm. usually they go to bed at 8:50. But I am in the bad mood. as soon as I see food I feel I will puke. and I need to feed my kids and husband. and suppose to cook all weekend for guest coming to our house. I tried RTD isopure alpine flavor and it is not good

Lisa, thank you for share your experience. you are great writer. I love all details you gave. it make me more calm

Congratulation everyone who get their dates. Questions Did you think what you would be drinking post op for the first week I mean what clear protein drink you choose?

Starting my liquid diet tomorrow just for 1 week. Surgery on September 7

I didn't have a surgery yet, but I am taking only 1 week.

I like oatmeal, newgrandmother But I am not allowed to.

Thank you for your support. it mean a lot for me. No watery oatmeal for me. But I have my Atkins advance shakes and coffee and just brought the chicken to do the broth myself. and of cause sugar free jello

Starting my full Liquid Diet tomorrow

Girls. the life is a zebra. white line - black line and etc.... I just get another call from coordinator and she said that they finally got what they need and call the insurance and I AM APPROVED FOR THE SURGERY, and it would be on SEPTEMBER 7. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D

Barisaxylady, I don't know. I am just so upset that I cannot handle it right now. Will try to call them tomorrow again and see what's going on....

Fran, I am upset because they said it possible and now it is not only because doctor forget to write the letter for insurance company and he is not in the office ( I assume he is on vacation) until 9/4. I understand that that now I am move back to 9/21 but for my work this is very bad date. I know that I cannot change anything now. I am just feel bad that Doctor doesn't care at all about his patients.

Guys, I don't' know how this happened. all paper was ready 2 weeks ago. The first surgery date was originally 9/21, but I had an appointment last Thursday and ask to change it to 7 and they said YES. and I called them almost everyday to ask how was everything. and today this news unsettle me.

Hi, everyone. Just want to share my bad news. my coordinator called me and said that my surgery will not be on September 7th because surgeon didn't prepare the letter and he is off the office now and would be back only on 9/4. and even if he would prepare the letter insurance company need at least 7 days for approval. so forget about surgery on 9/7.
