lol good idea but ya see this is my first scale because I could never find one that weighs me. I just cant help myself I gotta stop

In the morning Im 5 -6 lbs lighter. Its driving me nuts. What is my true weight?So Ive lost 23 lbs in the morning and only 17 at night grrrrrrrrrr. Thats a big difference

Do they give ya anything at the hospital if you get panicky? Because I tend to get panicky when Im nervous and I dont want to freek out before the surgery

Oh my gosh Im glad youre OK but wow did you bump your stomach really hard? Its kinda scary cuz there are alot of things in life that we may hit our stomach doing. I dont want to have to tiptoe around in life

you know I do weigh 459 lbs now 438 whoo hoo. all I can think is when ya weigh this much ya lose quicker in the beginning

Ive lost 21 lbs now on my pre op diet. Is it all water weight or is some of it fat? Ive heard losing more than 5 lbs in a week is unhealthy is this true?

LOL thanks guys I am back on the wagon and have lost 20lbs as of today and restless I tend to confuse people :smile2: Yes my doc does want me to lose 20lbs. Hell still do the surgery if I didnt but just said the less I weigh the better for the surgery.

I have a lot to lose does this mean I may need another band. Can they fill it to the max?

Thanks Restless I know I can.And yes I did lose 17 lbs. Im half way there only 11 more days.

Hey Plumpplump( Love the nickname LOL) I am on day 10 of my 21 say pre op diet and its the hardest thing Ive ever done. And I quit smoking 2 years ago! Let me tell ya I love to eat. I drink 6 carnation shakes a day and that is it. I am sooooo sick of the sweet drinks Yuk but Im doing it and you can too. Just think about each day as they come. Dont look at all 14 days its overwelming. Good luck

My surgery is on the 14th too.I cant wait.

Ive been on my preop diet for 10 days and lost 17 lbs WHOOOHOOOO I cant believe it. I have 11 days left and I know I wont lose that much but wow I cant wait to see how much I lose

Im on my pre op diet and 2 days after i started my skin on my face is so dry its flaking. My lips are so dry they hurt. I am drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day. Has this ever happened to anyone before? I usally have great skin

Restless monkey Yes I did and I talked to the nurse and she said NOTHING. I asked if I could have a cucumber a day or maybe a hardboiled egg in place of one of my shakes and she said no. I was ok with that. I dont know why I ate that pizza I havent took a dang bite of anything in 9 days now this. It just makes me mad. Im ashamed of myself.

Ive been on the preop diet for 9 days now (6 carnation shakes a day) well I just had a piece of pizza:( I dont know why .I just did. I have 12 more days left on the preop and intend not to cheat the rest of the time.

My new scale (one that will weigh me) is going to be here tomorrow. I cant wait to see how much Ive lost on my preop diet. Ive been drinking 900 calories a day of carnation shakes for 10 days and that is it. I havent really excercised to much cuz I feel like crap. I am tired and run down. This diet is putting a hurting on me. I am very active though I have 3 little boys LOL. Im kinda worried I havent lost to much because I havent been excercising like crazy.What do you guys think?

Thanks guys for posting Im a little bvetter now. I have to do this for my health I weigh 459 lbs. Its just such a drastic change. Eating alot to 900 calories a day of liquids is such a shocking change to my body. My blood sugar is way low too I just checked and its 80. Its never that low so maybe its that. I just feel crappy and I needed to vent. Also Restless monkey Ive been reading about some stuff on hear and it said something about your body can go into starvation mode and you wont lose wight cuz your body wanys to hold on to it. Does that happen after a while or could it happen on the preop diet ? Just wondering

Im on the 7th day of my liquid preop diet and I am starving. I have 2 weeks left and Im not sure I can do this. I cryed today whan my hubby was cooking food for the kids today I wanted a cheesburger so bad. I quit smoking 2 years ago and I think this is harder. Im starting to think being fat and eating what i want isnt such a bad thing

so no chinese food ever? Can ya eat it when the stomach is healed or never

Is it even possable to lose 20 lbs in 21 days of a preop diet? My new scale comes in the mail on wed. I cant wait. I found one than can actually weigh me:)

I dont know if I have a fatty liver. I weigh alot so the doc wants me on this diet so I can lose 20 lbs. I havent cheated and I will call the doc if and when I lose the 20 lbs and tell him I havent cheated and Ive lost the weight so can I have some steak. if I havent lost the weight I wont even bother calling him or having any food.

enjoy your vacation! If you need an extender then get an extender. Just ask. You are not the first person to need one. I weighed 400 pounds when I went to the bahamas but I sat with my 6 year old and used some of his seat.I needed an extender too. Are you traveling with anyone? Oh and I carry all my weight in my butt so there ya go. I was a little imbarassed to ask for the extender but they never blinked an eye when I asked. have fun

I will ask the doc Im just kinda imbarassed. I know I can do this. Iknow I dont need to I just want to:) Im also not talking about going crazy and eating at a buffet I just mean some protein. Nothing else

Well Im on an my 21 day preop diet its 6 carnation shakes a day.Im on my 6th day and havent cheated once. My doc wants me to lose 20 lbs. My ? is if I dont cheat and lose that much weight and a few days before surgery have one last meal.(not anything and everything I want but like a filet mignon or some crab and thats it) will that mess up my liver and screw up everything?I have been WANTING meat soooo bad. I wont do it if there is any chance of it screwing up anything.

Thanks restless for the reply I love reading your posts you give me hope. Oh and bigmomma I sent ya a private message back but not sure it worked.
