Oh my goodness. Good luck with everything and let us know how it goes!!

I am totally amazed. Day 1 of preop was fantastic. I wasn't terribly hungry until supper and was able.to have two shakes. I didn't realize I'm allowed 4 a day. I've totally cut out my diet Dr pepper. This morning I had to check too and I lost 9 pounds!!! I know its water because I peed approximately 72 times yesterday (sorry for the tmi)...but who cares! I'm so excited to follow the plan now it doesn't matter. I also slept better than I have in months. I assume that's from refraining from all the caffeine in the evening. What an excellent start to an already exciting journey!!

With everyone talking about their mood on the preop diet (and my own personal fear) I am beginning to believe that I did hide my feelings with food. Regardless of what the mood is...happy...mad...sad...I used food to either celebrate or drown out those emotions. Perhaps the key is journaling or letting someone know how I'm feeling. Even if its on here...better than eating that feeling. Congrats to those of you that are recognizing that they're feeling grouchy or that this is really hard...and for posting it on here.

Happy Birthday...you can't be depressed on your birthday...cheer up and try to have a better day!

May 14 in Saskatchewan in Canada...

Congrats Melly...great job...

Whatever you want to do will be fine. Extra liquids isn't going to be bad but you may want to check with the docs office real quick first. Good luck...and congrats on your surgery.

How exciting! Congrats!! I'm two days from preop diet and this is very motivating to get going!!

Oh creekwood...that's fantastic...well not the dogfood and chalk part...but the 7 lbs part is out of this world right?! Only today and tomorrow left of the old me. I'm busy holding a wake for the fat me. I can't wait to start eating like I'm skinny. The body I'm currently wearing is my past...time to start living!

This is great...shopping forprotein shakes in not something I'm used to. I have a ton of them left over from nutrisystem...I showed them to the nut and she said to go for it. so I'm going to use those up but I also bought some from Costco that my nut asked me to buy. The day I went there they were taste testing them and I loved them. Premade in case I sleep in or something. Good luck all...

I can't believe that preop diet starts on Monday. Super pumped...I'm getting really excited. How is everyone doing?

That's a lucky day!!! I'm also having my surgery that day...congrats again...I'm glad we'll be doing this together!

I'm glad they found it. You'll probably have some good sleeps now and feel fantastic.

It'll be great to meet and I'm looking forward to learning more tomorrow. I don't even know what size of band we're getting or anything. I have lots of questions for tomorrow. Not during exercise therapy though. I better do a lot of listening in that particular class!!!

I arrive at 4pm tomorrow. I'm coming straight from work.

Hope you feel better soon...hang in there!!

Hey all. Apparently I'm allowed some veg so all is not lost! Mostly liquid diet for two weeks. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow cat whisperer...apparently we have group exercise therapy together tomorrow!! I'm super pumped...

I have another week before I start too...I've purchased the Magic Bullet blender though and that thing is AWESOME! I highly recommend for soups or smoothies. Its also going to be great when I'm post op on soft foods and/or pureed. I'm looking very forward to it.

Oh my...you look fantastic!!!

It sounds like you need to speak with the nutritionist. I don't think you're eating enough though. Perhaps they'll add a meal for you? Keep trying...it certainly doesn't sound as though motivation is a problem for you...you can do it!!
