Finally glad its over. I know they want us to walk around. My first attempt almost made me throw up...maybe I drank my chicken broth too fast.

I hadn't seen a family member in many years and I had mentioned losing weight and he said "yea...what happened to you?"....and a couple years ago I was looking for a job after having my son and after a few interviews I was getting discouraged and another family member said "maybe they aren't hiring you because of your weight"...what's wrong with people?

When I mentioned the chicken and potato that was last week. My first week of the pre op diet was rough. This past week its the opposite. I don't feel hungry, I'm supposed to do 1120 calories but but the past few days I've had 700-900 calories and that's because I had to force myself to drink a protein shake cuz I know I need the protein. I know its a process in changing the way u think about food. I'm excited for my procedure this coming Thursday and for my journey.

My procedure is scheduled for 3-28-13. If any of u use myfitness pal, I could use more friends there. My screen name is angelastott

Many of u gave great information and it's much appreciated..thank u for your input.

My instructions: 2 protein shakes, two protein bars and one small meal that's 300-500 calories and at least 15 grams of protein. Total calories of 1120 a day. I do think people are sometimes harsh, if they had no problems with food they wouldn't have gotten the band either. Half a chicken breast is a far cry from 3 pizzas...so I appreciate that someone stood up for me. Ill probably stick to reading posts for educational purposes since being human gets attitude.

Thank u for all of the advice

My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday 3-28-13...I'm on the shakes and bars with one meal a day diet. A couple times I replaced a shake with chicken or a potato I've never gone over my 1120 calories a day I'm just wondering if that will affect anything..?
