Hi everybody!!!!!

Just wanted to do a quick intro about my self here....

My name is Jose i'm 26 yrs old, I go in for my procedure this Friday Dec 17th.. I have been doing my 2 week pre-op diet and I have lost almost 20lbs and about 3 inches on my waist.

I hope to meet great people on this site that I can come to for support for after my procedure. Its been a rough 2 weeks since my days are soo long due to my job. I am a school bus driver and my day always starts at 4am leave my house @5am to go to work and I don't get home 630pm on a normal day. But on days that I have field trips that are sport related I don't get home till 11pm or even midnight-ish.... crazy many people don't know school bus drivers are out there past 5pm hahaha. But I talked to my Dr and he allowed me to have ..... well this was my original diet

Breakfast

1 Protein shake

i.e. Muscle milk

lunch

4oz Lean chicken, Turkey or Fish

1cup steamed veggies or 2 cups of raw veggies

2cups of green salad (light dressing OK lemon juice and fav seasoning)

1 cup of broth

dinner

1 Protein Shake

So he told me I can have another protein shake in the morning before my meal

and if its a late night for me I can have another 4oz snack

Lots of h2o.... not my fav... the first few days I drank soooo much Water it made me sick... I don't know if anyone else has felt like that.

I have talked too much....hahaha sorry

Well hope to meet lots of people on here

thanks

Hi Jose!

Congrats on your surgery date and good luck! It's the best decision I've ever made.

Hi Dr. Nick!

I too am starting my journey and I hope you're doing good! My mom works for public schools too, people underestimate how hard those jobs can be! Anyway, good luck! Stay positive!
