Try Cocoa Dusted Almonds.

1. Lose the last 77 lbs to be at my goal. 2. Exercise 4 - 5 days a week. 3. Run (being the operative word) at least one 10K and as many 5K's as I can find. 4. Stop shopping (I don't need anymore clothes, I have them in multiple sizes now). 5. Stop using credit cards (will be easy if I do #4).

I am almost 6 weeks out and I've lost weight before surgery too. So, since January I lost 56 lbs. I could slip my whole hand in my bra w/room to spare. I know I have a long road ahead but don't want to slack on taking care of the girls so I went to Lane Bryant and got measured (which is where I've always gone to get measured). I went from a 46F pre-weight watchers/surgery to a 42DD 6 weeks post op! WOW! So I bought just 2 bras for now (buy one, get one 1/2 off). They are too expensive to buy more than that at this point in my journey.

I stopped when I started the 2 week pre-op diet.

Premier Protein is sold at Sam's Club too. They are YUM.

I am in week 2 of a similar pre-op diet. My surgery is Aug 30th. My nut told me that the headaches are from caffeine and/or carb withdrawals. The will go away after about day 5. Hang in there.

YAY, Lisha! Today has not been too bad. I haven't had dinner yet as I am trying to keep my last meal of the day late!

Yay! So happy for you!

Pre-op diet day 1 is TODAY! So far, breakfast has been ok.

Starting my pre-op today. I get a shake w/unsweetened almond milk and 4 oz of fruit in the AM. A shake for lunch. Then dinner is 4 oz protein and 4 oz of veggies w/a max of 1 tbsp of oil. I'm thinking this is doable...but I'm on day one and have only had breakfast...so, we'll see!

Sleeveme2011 and Lillee - I am so glad that you guys are very close to me. This seems to me to be part I am most worried about...to see if I can do this for 2 weeks! It's nice to have support.

So, I got my date...August 30th!! I am excited and scared, all at the same time! Starting my liquid diet Aug 16th. Is anyone with me? I'd love a support buddy to chat with or e-mail during this diet.

I submitted my paperwork to the doc office a week and a half ago. They submitted their report to the insurance company on Saturday. The insurance company still hasn't "received" my papework. I am going nuts with all the waiting!! Good luck to you...I hope the time goes by quickly for us both!

I wouldn't advertise that you're using student loans. They are to be used for school-related living expenses only and your school can deny the borrowed amts over the cost of tuition, books, and fee if they find out what you are using them for.

YAY! Mine is being submitted by the doc office, hopefully today! I hope I have the same results as you just as quickly! Congrats!
