Sleevie B. Like the freestyle singer.

Im down 13 in 13 days as of yesterday. How r u all doing?

How r u all doing? I have lost 13 lbs 13 days. I had my 2 wk follow up w my dr yesterday. Its soooo hard to get the Protein shakes down. Yuck!!

Im 14th too... We made it a week so far. Im having a tough time. Im.sooo hungry and I wanna chew! I bought those soft mints likevafter dinner mints. I noticed after I ate one that I felt better. Felt like my blood sugar was low. This am isnt so bad though yet. I also had a Fage yogurt for dinner last night which has as much protein as one of my atkins shakes. Today, I need to focus on getting my fluids in. glad to hear from everyone!!!!

Thanks!! It does hurt. I am one week out today. Not to mention that im starving!!! My stomaxh is growling. Ugh. Im not having a good time right now. Sorry for the venting!

Does it hurt anyone else to drink water??

How many weeks of liquid do u have to participate in post op?

Great! Im sore.. Tired and no drain. Just trying to walk and sip too.

How did u all make out?

Im this friday the 14th!!!!

My fiance and sin have been eating in front of me and it bothers me a little knowing that I cant have the same, but I made this decision, not them. My surgery is this Friday.

Good question... I can have 3 protein shakes per day and a small low cal meal for dinner such as a Lean Cuisine or a Smart One's meal. I've been drinking AT LEAST 64 oz of water w/ decaf tea... Weell I have been adding vanilla extract and some cinnamo to my shakes.. I do not ever want to have these things again!!! LOL!!!! I actually really loved the shakes before. Ohwell It is what it is- I'll just keep focused. I'm sure after a few more days, the stomach growling will go away.

Life of Pi- Good one!!! LOL Thanks.. Going bowling this weekend so kind of looking forward to seeing my friends.

Thank you!!!

At this point, only 5 days out of my 2 week pre-op diet, my arm is looking quite tasty!!!! LOL Were any of you really hungry?? What did you do besides drink water to curb the hunger? I'm drinking water as I type. I've lost 5.5 lbs so far.. So almost a lb a day doing the diet- Not too shabby and going to the gym. Only went twice so far this week. Getting my sleeve on 12/14. I named it Sleevey B. I'm becoming delirious... LOL

Best of luck and health to you. I will be having mine on 12/14. I can't wait!!! Be well..

Today is my 2nd day pre op and my date is the 14th too! Well have to stay in touch. Im hungrrrrryyyyyyyy!!!! Lol!!!

Hi All!!!! I officially start my pre-op diet tomorrow! I have come so long to get to this point... I know most of you have already gone over this hump so I need some advice for a person that loves food. I am able to have 2 shakes during the day and have a piece of Protein ( chicken, fish or steak) and some veggies for dinner. Can someone share some ideas w/ me on what to have for dinner...? Some reipes and also what helped you through this process. I'm looking ahead and can see myself running in the Spring and positive life changes, but I just wanted to reach out to you all. I read everyday on this forum as if it's my 'New Facebook" LOL!!!! The feedback and thinks that I have learned and the before and after pictures are things that I love about it. Thank you so much in advance!! OH!!! My bday is on Monday too- The big 3-2! ~Leah
