It sounds like you're doing awesome! My surgery is May 18 and I can't wait! I've been doing a pre-op diet and as of today I've lost 17.8 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks! I took a picture of me each and my face has shown a huge difference. It's not as chubby anymore. I love that! May 19, instead of the 18th. Sorry!

@@Salonboi Best wishes! Keep us posted!

It's going to be awesome! It'll all okay! You're gonna do great! Praying for you!

That's awesome! How is your pain? I'm still praying for all of us!

I so happy for you! Please keep me updated. Praying for you!

That's awesome! Congratulations on your weight loss! My date is May 19 and for the last 15 days I keep telling myself I can't have that! I haven't cheated once!

We can be surgery buddies! My surgery is Tuesday May 19. I feel really good about the surgery. I've been doing the pre-op diet for 15 days and I've already lost 15.5 pounds. I really believe I have my mindset going in the right direction!

Congratulations on your surgery date! Mine is May 19 and I'm super excited about it! Prayers sent your way!

Prayers all goes well with your surgery! Keep me posted so I'll know what to expect!

That's awesome! I met the goal my nut and surgeon wanted. Now I'm down 15.5 in 15 days. 16 more days to go! I can hardly wait!

How's everything going for? I know you're ready to see results! Praying for a quick recovery!

My surgery is May 19 and I'm super excited! Congratulations on your surgery date!

I have BCBS too. I was first denied but then we appealed it and it took about 6-8 weeks before they finally approved it. However, BCBS had a security breach and that seemed to cause a delay. Good luck with everything!

I'm also doing optifast for a month. My surgery is May 19. I've been on it for about 2 weeks and so far I've lost 11.5 pounds. That's exactly what I'm doing.

Walden farms makes coffee creamer in several flavors. All are dairy-free, calorie and fat free. The flavors I know of are a regular one, mocha, sweet cream, and hazelnut. I was dying for coffee too. Now I can have it without cheating! ☕????

How's everyone doing on the pre-op diets? I'm on day 13 and so far so good! I'm down 10.5 pounds, 2.5 inches in my waist, and 2 inches in my hips! I've already met the goal they set for me. My dietitian even said good job, congratulations, keep up the good work! My dietitian rarely says that! She's strict but good!

Day 6- not too bad. I was hungry yesterday, but I didn't cheat! My first two days I lost 5 pounds. After that it's been slower. Not sure why, but after 5 days I've lost 6.4 pounds. That's exciting. I'm almost at my weight loss for next week. I'm just nervous I won't get to my goal my nut set for me.

That's awesome! Congratulations on the weight loss!

I start my pre diet on Friday. I am a little afraid of the shakes and not eating. I know I can do a day or two, but for 10 days...it's going to be tough. Best of luck! Pass along your words of advice as you experience this.Today is my first pre-op diet day and man alive I'm trying so hard not to cheat. GOD HELP ME LOL Well it's been 4 days and I think I've gotten through the worst of it. Day 2 was horrible. I was so hungry, but I made it through. I have found out that it's a habit of mine. Just grab something because it's there. One thing I found out is when I'm preparing food for someone else and I made a mess or had a taste of something. I would just lick my fingers. Now I wash it off my fingers. Lucky you that has ten days of shakes. I have a month. On a funny note, last night I dreamed I ate a brownie and then I realized I couldn't have them. Immediately I spit it out and threw it in the trash! Thank goodness it was only a dream! Lol! ????????

Congratulations on your surgery date! @@octavia16 @ Nov_kisses

Congratulations! That's not too far away!

I have to go four weeks and then the day before nothing but clear liquids. That might be tough, but I hope by then it'll be easy. Congratulations on your date! Thanks! I'm hoping the 3 days of clear liquids won't be too bad. When is your date? May 19! I can't hardly wait!

Just finished my first shake. It feels really weird not eating. My entire life has revolved around food. It's almost like what do I do now?

Congratulations! Do you have to start any special kind of diet?
