HELP!! Pre-Op Diet!!
I had to go on a 3 week liq diet, after that and still doing I drink Protein Shakes and one meal a day. I eat chicken stirfry like crazy, hamburger patti with no bread and salad or FF cottage cheese. I eat alot of yougurt (lowfat) and drink Water all day or crystal light. I am very creative with my Protein drinks I mix small ice cubes, milk and choc or vanila Protein powder in the blender and then add SF coffee or Irish cream or Hazelnut syrup. I might toss in some fruit or yogurt depends on my time limit. I drink this on my way to work and its good and very filling. Hang in there you can do it and look at the long range goal

Your dh/so and loose skin.
Fat or skinny, rolls or no rolls, loose skin or tight skin. It boils down to one thing if he loves you he loves you for who and what you are...I cant even imagine thinking my husband would look at me different with saggy skin. The saggy skin shows you worked hard to loose weight and did it! Love is not about looks its from the heart. Sorry to preach but I cant understand how people are so worried about what thier husband, wife or others will think. You are loosing weight and will be healthy thats what is the main concern.

Question about Books
If you cant afford a book then do what most people would do. get the information off the internet or at your library. Times are hard for everyone with high gas prices and postage is very high..
