Thats crazy yoor a techer ...thats what I am going to school for ECE ....I hate this preop diet but sticking with it... I just keep counting down the days

Me too...how are you coping it? I am a full time student so Im trying to get a head in school work but find myself here reading to get ready lol....hiws your preop diet?

So I started my weight loss journey years ago but never thought about wls. I decided last year that wls was probably my best bet. So on my oldest son bday, April, I started my supervised 6 month diet. I went through all the testing, pych eval, nut appt and meet with my suregon twice. I have jumped through hoops to get here and now its only a week away. Im scheduled for preop appt on 2/12 and surgery on 2/13. My preop diet has been hard cause I still have a husband and three lil children to cook three square meals a day for but I haven't cheated and I'm hanging in there. Im getting super nervous as they days pass.

Im still pre op til.2/13 how are you feeling?

Im on day 4/10 preop diet and already down 8 lbs. Im required 64oz of clear liquids, 3 protein shakes and one meal with 3oz of lean meat and 1/2 cup of whole grains and 1 cup of veggies. The days are getting a little easier but I am not going to lie ...IM HUNGRY lol....I found that Crystal light is my best friend when I feel hungry I just sip sip sip. Good practice for post op too. 8 days to go surgery date 2/13.

Congrats to all of us for making this life change! Please post postop and let me know how your guys are doing.....Im not being sleeved till 2/13. Im so glad I found this fourum and can see how the sleeve is for others.Good luck...cant wait to be on the losers bench

day one of preop diet 8 more to go! I didnt cheat at all! but boy I am not used to this. staying positive cause I know what I want and how my life will be better afterwards ????come on 2/13 !!!!

Thats so great. I started my pre op diet today and it is so hard with being home with the kids and having to make them lunch. Everytime I feel like I need something jusy drink somemore crytal light.Does it get easier?
