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!!

Day 5 post op. Liquid in take not there
crystalmaries posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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!

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 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!!! -
January 15th, 2015 Anyone?
crystalmaries replied to downsizingdiva's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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!! -
January 7th...
crystalmaries replied to losing.it.lulu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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 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!! -
Got My Date! January 6. Anyone else on or around that date?
crystalmaries replied to Fallinstar's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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!! -

crystalmaries replied to downsizingdiva's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
January 13th here. Started my pre op today. It's going ok but I feel hungry. Water helps so far. So excited but scared too. This is gonna change my life in so many ways and I'm nervous to see what that will be. -
So if it is from alcohol - I was a little bit of a heavy drinker previous to starting this journey on the weekends- and you do have a fatty liver what do they do? Scared a little now just for anything but really being denied the surgery.

What are some the tests they do for blood work two weeks prior to surgery? I have mine on Wednesday! Surgery is Jan 13th. I'm just curious what they are looking for.
