I am sure its totally normal. I am 7 days from surgery and I am already getting nervous and having some doubts on how I will do. For me its realizing that this is it, no more donuts, pop tarts, eating junk at night... But then I think to myself..Are you really happy like this? Do I want to go another summer being fat? Then I seem to get my head back in the game. I wish you all the best!! Let us know how it goes!!

Ok, not sure if the title made sense but I feel like I am losing my confidant steam. I was chugging along so well ( to the song " eye of the tiger " ) LOL and now for some reason I slowed down. I keep telling myself how I have to do this for my health and how much better I will feel and look. Part of me is wondering if I will even make it after. Ok, this post seems so depressing. Anyone go through this during pre op? I guess you would call it doubt. It doesn't help that I got my period 2 days ago either. Thanks for letting me vent

Wow, Britt, your so lucky! I don't remember you saying you could. Have broth and yogurt, LOL I am drooling!! LOL. Good luck hun! Hey, start using my cell since we are both on pre op we will need to text back and forth to fight our cravings, LOL

Wow! So cool! You,me and Britt! How are you doing so far? What have you lost so far? I only lost 4 lbs. Got my period yesterday and the scale hasn't moved since At least it's not going up though! Please let me know how you are doing!

LOL, i thought that's how i would be too!

It was so easy! They did blood work and a chest xray. I had to meet with a dr too. I was only there for a hr! I thought i would be there for hrs. 1 step closer!

Thank you everyone. I feel better now, but I was still mad for awhile after. I can't wait for everyone to say How good I look and just give him a look like " maybe you should get this done " LOL thank not again. You guys always help!

So I was at my in laws tonight and my brother in law was a total jerk to me! My sister in law was asking me about the surgery. Then her husband says in a nasty tone " why can't you just eat right and exercise?? " " why do you have to get surgery? " so I started saying that when you get too big its hard to exercise. That my feet and knees hurt. I said I think I also have acid reflux . He says again nasty tone " either you have it or you don't. How can you not know? " I was so pissed! No one else was in room except my sister in law. She didn't say anything to him about how mean he was being. If my husband heard him he would have told him off. I didn't say anything back because tonight she was going into the hospital to have her baby. So I know he was stressed about that but he was out of line! I am still so mad!!

Congratulations! My date is The day before yours!

I am feeling great!!! Lost 4 lbs! I have more energy and when I walk my feet and legs don't hurt! I don't even feel like cheating I am very pleased so far. Chocolate is my favorite of the shakes. Banana is pretty good too. The strawberry wasn't that good. I still have to try vanilla. I can't wait to see how I feel after say 10 lbs hope everyone is doing ok on their pre op diet!

Thanks Britt! I used to always drink water and now I don't drink it like I used to. I love diet coke. I will be sad when I get the band because I can't have it anymore

Ok, so now i am getting headaches too, LOL I am trying to drink a lot of Water which is hard because i am not the biggest water drinker. Does crystal lite count?

So, how is it being 3 days in? What have you lost so far?

Thank you everyone! Surgery is October 25th. The brand is Ultramet by champion nutrition. I have chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and banana. The chocolate was so good. The strawberry Is not, LOL its not horrible but not the best. That's awesome that You lost 4 lbs in so little time!

Today is my first day of the shakes. The chocolate was awesome! Kept me full for 4-5 hours. The strawberry which I am having now kinda stinks. I don't like it. I can't wait to See how much weight I will lose! Anyone else starting pre op?

How much was your protein shakes? You got it at Costco right? I still have to get one for after. Gnc will give you your money back if you don't like their product from what I heard but some seem pricey

Thankfully post op I can get whatever shake I want as long as it meets the protein, sugar, and fat requirement. Your so lucky! I am very anxious to start but nervous too. This weekend is my last supper so to speak,LOL I just had sausage lasagna. Ice cream for dessert! I haven't had ice cream in so long.

I start mine on the 10th! I go to the hospital for pre admission testing on the 15th!

They didn't do that there but I have to do pre admission 1 week before surgery at the hospital.

Anyone using ultramet shakes? They are by champion nutrition. I start them on the 10th. I hope they don't taste too horrific! LOL

It's by champion nutrition. Those are my pre op shakes. Wondering how they taste. Thanks!

Are these for your pre op diet.? If so your lucky. I had to buy mine through my dr's office and pay $250 for 2 wks supply. I didn't get a choice except of flavors

That's awesome hun! I am still trying to find a shake I want to get. How much protein is in your shakes?

So we you guys should be starting your pre op diet soon too! I start on the 10th.

Oh no! I just saw your post that you were denied. I am so sorry I hope you will still be able to get it somehow. Good luck hun
