Feeling good. Still sore at the port site. Good news is that I'm not hungry. Its very weird. Yesterday I had a protein shake for breakfast, a half of a banana for lunch, a protein shake for dinner and a half of a sugar free pudding for dessert. I was starving with the pre-op diet and now post op I can't even eat that much. did you have to start the pre-op diet again yet? Hang in there....its very worth it!!

Just checking on you. How are you hanging?

Hey. I just saw that you're a therapist also. I'm a school social worker and do part time private practice. I hope you're feeling better. Your posts have been very helpful to me. Thanks

Hey everybody....don't forget to take those before pics. I took some from the front, back, and side. Actually, I did it when I was very hungry on clear liquids....pic help me motivate myself again. I took 2 sets of pics ...1) bra and panties (for my own eyes) and 2) sport bra and workout capri (for the world to see).

Did well....no pain meds...but I'm really thirty. i'm so happy that I did this. I'm sore and have a little shoulder pain. Just resting today and slight walking around the house. Thanks for the prayers and I'll be counting the days to the 11th with you.

I'm so sorry to hear this. What does mean for the diet?

Good luck and see you on the "banded" side

am soooooooooo hungry. On full liquids. I hate this and wish I already had the surgery.

I'm also wanted to see how you're doing about the surgery. I wanted to make sure to tell you I'll be thinking of you on the 20th and good luck.

well since misery loves company..I'm here to report that the scale hasn't move in three days...annnndddd yesterday I went to tea with my daughter and two girlfriends. It was carb heaven....and of course I cheated. I haven't cheated since I got on my diet but I couldn't take it no more.

I'm also frustrated with the weight not coming off...I'm only eating one meal and drinking 2-3 shakes a day. Total loss only 10lbs ( i think)..... and that's from low carb dieting prior to the only one meal thing. I started "pre-op dieting" on Mar. 15th. I'm starting to think (hope) that big numbers in pre-op are coming from people with much higher starting numbers. I'm doing better with the hungry the last couple of days. I drink 2 shakes and 3 -20oz water bottles with crystal light in them. Also, I started drinking broth....not from the can. I go and get clear broth soup or wonton soup and only drink the broth and throw the food away. I have a shake in the morning, shake for lunch and then broth/soup when i get home from work, then dinner. The broth has done wonders for me (well the last 2 days) not feeling deprived. Hope your day is a better one today. I'll check with you tonight.

Hey buddy. Hope you're having a good night. I'm getting nervous.... Sunday I go to full liquids and then Tuesday I go to full CLEAR liquids. I'm struggling now with only one meal. But...... I will do it somehow and survive (don't know how my family will survive lol).

Had an ok night....very hungry when I got home from work (around 4). I really need to find a filler b/w lunch and home. Had chicken ontop of romane lettuce, shredded cheese, and honey mustand dressing. About an hour later had some nuts. I'm thinking I'm going to start drinking some broth when I get home. Any thoughts on the meal??
