Only a few more days. Preop is going ok. I have the occasional oops, but for the most part am keeping to two shakes and a greek yogurt a day. I found when I ate things I had to chew I was more likely to try and cheat. I am now 1lb from my personal preop weight of 298. HW 334.

The first three days were hell, but now on day 4 I am doing better. My emotions were all over. Fat stores hormones and losing weight has released them. God help my family & friends through this. Spreading out my Protein has helped, but I really struggle at night. I have two to three Protein shakes an 4-6 oz of meat with some leafy greens each day. Its hard to stick to but im doing my best.

Its not a stupid question. Im not sure either.

That does seem tough, but you'll be ready for the phase 1 post-op diet. That scares me.

I have the fit bit zip and I love the silly thing. It doesnt count my "active minutes" the same way I do, but overall it does what I need.

I am scheduled for June 10th. I contacted my Insurance case manager on February 28, my first consult was April 9th ( also saw Nutrition and Psych the same day). Had a day within a week and approval in two. Its been a whirlwind. Scared and excited to finally do this. I started the process back in 2007 but the year waiting period for the band scared me. So happy I can get the sleeve now.
