Soo true..I am finding out!

So excited, thx! SW 250 Surgery is 9/16: CW 241 GW 210

I have the same question , only I just started. Also I'm on MyFitnessPal, but I a Nubbie, I'm 9/16

I'm a jersey girl too! 9/16 is the day for me, can't wait????

. We are entering a new phase of our live, just making this decision means you are a strong person. Our new motto... Eat to Live.... Not live to eat????

def make sure you speak with your insurance company directly. Take name, date and Info given. I wouldn't rely in your Doctors office. Mine was great but still, they are not approving you. Wishing you good luck!!!????

. I am on the road all day too, I bring a cooler in my car to keep my water cold n helps the shake go down. Good luck!! It so exciting????

Just finished 2nd day pre op - looking forward to 9/16/2014!

I get it! Some men are secure in the relationship when their wife's are over weight, at least mine is. Now, at the thought of us being in shape, it scares them a little. Any time I would loose some weight he would COMPLETELY try to sabotage my diet. I don't think on purpose. Hang In there, ur not alone. This is a great forum to vent and know some dysfunctional behaviors are pretty normal... Lol

What type of puréed protein do u eat to hit your 60 grams a day? My surgery is 10 days away n I wanted to make and freeze some puréed meals ahead of time?

No, they ( My doc n my friend that had this done) said the pre op liquid diet is important to shrink the liver so it doesn't get damaged during the surgery

Not hearing, "but your face is beautiful" Being able to buckle the seatbelt on an airplane in 2 seconds without struggling, fitting into a booth at a Diner , living a comfortable n active life with my kids, not hearing my thin friends talk about fat people in front of me not realizing how much it hurts me!

I am at pre op stage now and getting a bit scared reading everything.. Lol- I have a Nutribullet and it works great , can we use it for our foods to purée maybe homemade better tasting foods? What are the limits with types of food at this stage for you all?

Sorry- periwinkle180

I am on fitness pal too, it's a good site for tracking protein water, exercize , etc. you can friend request me at : periwinkle190

Congrats!!! You had it in my birthday???? That is so reassuring to hear! Wish you great success!

I almost did the same - last night was my first day of liquid diet pre op. I went grocery shopping for my 4 kids and husband after work and bought them their back to school lunches, snack meals for the week etc. I could not wait to get home and have my only real food of the day, 4-6 oz of protien and a vegi. All day I I kept thinking....Chicken or left over Steak from the night before...yumm I walk in the door at 7:30 PM with arms full of groceries that I can not eat and see the chicken soaking in a bowl full of wishbone Italian dressing and wanted to cry,so then I looked for the steak in the fridge from the night before and it;s gone. I find it at the top of the garbage with the fast trimming of raw chicken fat on it. I also almost throat punched the hubby! lol

Hi, I am on day 2, so I'll be right after you! Looking foward to follwing your success!!

Greetings September Sleevers Great to read all your posts! I'm on my second day of the Pre Op Diet, I'm scheduled for 9/16. I'm nervous, hungary and tired...lol I am using "MY Fitness Pal" just to log my liquids and food (or lack of) and what ever exercize I can squeeze in. Does anyone use something better? Feeling a bit Anxious, what should I expect during the next 2 weeks and right after the surgery, anyone know someone that has done this recently? Thanks!
