Been at a stall for the last week. The weight seems to be slow. I'm not totally freaking out yet. I've lost 30 pounds since jan 1st. Hw 274 Sw 264 cw 244. Surgery was Jan 13. I'm following the plan, getting close to my Protein goal every day. Need to work on liquids and need to start exercising. I've attached a face shot of surgery day and today. I can tell a difference! Just can't wait for more!!

Today is 5 days from surgery for me. I'm getting maybe 25oz of liquid. I've had some broth and finally finished one jello cup since Friday. My problem is I've had diarrhea since the hospital. It hasn't stopped and today's the worse. I feel like I'm in the bathroom every hour. Is this ok?

Day 2 in the hospital. Just had my leak test and I believe it's all good. Gas is just starting but not bad. I'm very tired though. Not much sleep with the nurses coming in every two hours. Now I am every four hours. Switching to an oral pain meds today going off of the button that I can press whenever. So hopefull can keep pain tolerable. I will get out around 2 o'clock tomorrow. Hw 277 Sw 264 Gw 150

I'm in the waiting room just waiting. Been here for 2 hours. Hopefully they take me back soon. And I'll be on the losers side. Lost 10 pounds on pre diet. Hw 277 Sw 264 Gw 150. My first post with my stats!!!

It gets easier the further in you get in the pre liquid diet. My body/stomach got use to it too. I wasn't as hungry towards the end. I even went to a restaurant and just got chicken noodle soup and ate the broth. The first several days were tough. Just fight through it and by day 3-5 you will be much better!

My day is tomorrow too!!! Clear liquids and I had to drink magnesium citrate. Any one else?

Just got my time to be at the hospital. 9:00. Whooo hoo! Very excited. I'm sure the nerves will break this evening. I've only lost 6 pounds on the pre diet. Made me a little mad but just goes to show that my body doesn't like to loose weight very well. Can't wait!

I'll be in 3days!!!! Can't wait to be on the other side. Congrats to all who have made it. And thanks for making this new one @@mduffield

Today is my last day at work for 3 weeks!!! Whooo hoo! Surgery Tuesday.

Today and yesterday I am extremely tired and slow. I am day 8 of my preop diet. I have followed this diet very well. It could be that I've switched to decaf coffee and the weather is so cold here. 4 days left. I so wish it was here!!! Ready to start this journey!!!

The preop diet gets better. Day 4 here. I'm definitely hungry but not craving bad foods as much. I try to drink water to fill the hunger feeling. I have 8 days and 17 hours lol. Getting very excited. Not as nervous as I'm more and more confident of my decision. It's what's best for me. Can't wait!!

Jan 13th is my surgery date. Day 2. It's tough. Cottage cheese would be awesome but not on my dr's diet plan. Protein drinks 3 times a day, Apple sauce, sf jello, sf pudding, yogurt are the things I've had so far.

I do three pure protein shakes - each have 30 grams in them.

I have had the same thoughts. You just have to try and think positive thoughts about it rather than thinking negatively about it. Know that there is that chance but that you have done everything you can for this all to go through. There's nothing more that you can do and if you were to get denied it wasn't meant for this to be the time. That's what I've been doing!!

I'm on my 2nd day of pre op diet. It sucks. Yesterday was bad. Today I am at work so not as bad. I just wanted to lay around yesterday. I'm sure I'll get use to it. All the commercials and posts on facebook about food such tho!!! Good luck on your diet. You can do it!!
