Try incorporating exercise with your balance diet. That will jump start your weight loss. Your body gets use to one thing after a while, so you have to keep it on its toes.

Great job! I am on my pre op diet too, and during my weakness moments I look up some success pictures to keep me in check and motivated.

You look great! Have you had any issue with loose skin?

Congrats and good luck! I am 10 days after you and just like you very nervous! I have never had any surgeries done either. It will be interesting to see how it is, and I hope that my defense mechanism of flirting doesn't kick in lol. My doctor is young and good looking.

I am on day 3 and it is tough! There are people in the house cooking and it's very tempting. There are people at work bringing goodies, so that continues to test me. I am starving and also was the head hunger is testing me. Mentally it's tough to drink the shake bc I am not big fan of the whey Protein smell. Hoping that keeping myself busy will work and that it gets easier.

We started our pre-op diet together!

That's awesome. I can't wait for the liquid phase to be over either. I have 2 weeks before and two weeks after the surgery. So that's 4 weeks!

I am having it done on the 27th also!

Thank you for the tips guys. I am trying to keep the eye on the price, but food is every where around me which makes it hard. I will close my eyes and drink the shakes! 12 more days!

This is tougher than I thought. I am trying to use the mantra of mind over the matter, but it's not working and I am starving and craving salt! The Protein shakes are not bad but I am over it already. Please give any advice! I am trying to rid the thought that I should just drop this.

I am in the same boat. I have become a hermit, and can't wait to socialize again.

There are days where it's tough to see closet full of smaller clothes that I use to wear. I try to use that as an incentive!

That's awesome! Congrats.

Thank you. I am craving carbs and salt today. Hopefully it will get better soon.

Congrats! I am going on the 27th!

Today is the day I start my 2 weeks of liquid pre-op diet! I decided to go with Bariatric Advantage because of the higher Protein level. I have to have 3 Protein shakes a day, and I can 3 Snacks i.e. sugar free Jello, sugar free poosicle, crystal light, and propel. What did you guys do to make this work easier and succeed in your pre-op diet?
