Day 3 Diet
that's awesome! I'm a carbaholic, so my body is probably like wtheck? at the moment. lol!!! I can't tell a difference or anything, it's probably Water weight - but still nice to see the number on the scale go down

Day 3 Diet
I should preface this post with the fact that I gained quite a few pounds in the past few weeks - stupid I know, but what's done is done. Day 3 of my low carb pre-op diet & I'm down 5 pounds! Tested my urine last night & had trace ketones so I'm hoping my energy will come back soon! And bring my good attitude with it! lol

Had surgery today
Awesome! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Favorite unflavored protein?
I haven't tried the unflavored unjury yet, but the strawberry was good and the chicken soup flavor was good - I would think you could mix that in all sorts of stuff. I wasn't crazy about the chocolate, but being a chocolate snob none of the shakes taste good to me *sniff sniff* lol!!

How do I get through my Pre-op diet?
Bless you honey! I am low carbing right now and I could eat a truckload of cupcakes. I mean a TRUCK. LOAD. Lol! I am going to be a handful when I get to this stage. My husband cooked spaghetti with yeast dinner rolls for dinner - I had to leave the kitchen. I am not even kidding. I wanted to cry! I went outside & jumped in the pool and went for a swim. My only advice is distraction. And maybe try adding ice to the Protein Shakes so it feels like a milkshake??

Started diet today - I'm dying
You are sweet to ask! I am having seriously serious sugar cravings. When it's seriously serious, that means it's REAL BAD. Lol! I hate this so much. I'm a carbaholic.

Started diet today - I'm dying
I just don't tend to do well with anesthesia or pain meds. Everything makes me puke. I am so dreading that! Hoping what they give me won't make me puke up my toenails. Sounds like you've had a great experience so far. Hope you continue to do well! Thanks for the update! Me too. I had to take excedrin migraine today

Weight gain while in process
I've gone from 175 to 182! I told them I would pack on the pounds once i stopped diet pills... This is my main reason for choosing the surgery. It's amazing how fast the weigh comes on and how slow it comes off. That should be against some rule somewhere!

How high is your PTT? I don't want to alarm you but they should definitely address this prior to surgery.

Early on exerciser- lower back ache
In addition to the shoe suggestion, try adding Epsom salt to a hot bath and soak. Great for strained and sore muscles!
