Ok, this is not a total negative post. I have a date- 8/24. I have to lose 12 pounds before then or it gets postponed. Dr didn't give me any specific pre op diet- I am on my own. I am having a hard time, and this is only day 2. Does anyone have suggestions of how to do this seemingly monumental task?

I am excited about this, but freaked out too. I don't know how to explain. I went to baskin robbins, not my idea, after my kids' karate class. My mom bought them ice cream, and I had a cup of ice Water. the smell almost brought me to tears I wanted it so badly.

I know this will be ok in the end, but getting through the next few weeks is as far as I am thinking right now.

I need to find a good soy shake- lactose intolerant. I love the whey shakes and have used them, but they are what brought my milk issues to light. Unjury seems to be a fav, but they only have whey, and I can't use that. I am seriously stressing out.

I was using Unjury with Water and crystal light. You can get unflavored unjury and it isnt bad and has a ton of protien in it

Thanks, but Unjury is whey, and I can't have that. I am so jonesing right now- sugar is obviously addictive since I am having cravings. I am even shaking.

Beachbunny, how long have you been on that pre-op diet? I'm replacing Breakfast and lunch with a high Protein Shake, and then for dinner, I have either a Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones frozen dinner. I think I need to switch to the Isopure!

Ive been on it a week and a half. Lost over 12 lbs ....Isopure is the bomb. Dutch chocolate is the best FYI

Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

If the doctors think we can lose weight that quick, why would we need the band.

Sometimes I just don't get it. There is a magic number for getting the band????

Sorry for the rant; but some of these doctors make me so mad.

I can lose weight fast short term- it is long term that is the problem. He said the reason was to shrink my liver, which apparently sits on top of the stomach, to make surgery less risky. Also, it shrinks your neck size, where most people lose weight first, which makes the anesthesia work better.

I can do this, it just is for a few days!!

I went to BR31 with my mom and kids and ordered WATER!! The smell was so hard to resist, but I did it!! Then we had dinner at family's last night with homemade banana cream pudding, and I left the table and chewed on gum. I am so going to do this!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
