The hospital call me yesterday to pre register me. Woohoo and today I officially start the 2 week preop diet. I started early though and lost a few to keep the stress off. This to me I think is going to be the real challenge. Lol

It's the countdown girl ! Woo hoo !! New life...

Boy oh boy......when it comes down to really being on this pre op its hard. Lol now if I was not on this diet I would not be walking around foaming at the mouth lol I'm glad I drop a few lbs before I started lol that will help a lot. Pray for me yall lol

Lol! It's always like that! Hang in there girl!!! U got this ...praying for u!

You got this! I went through my phases too of wanting to just give in but I did it. In regards to hunger, I'm starting to be hungry now. However, I'm following the strict diet Dr. Hollis has for post-op because I don't want anything to go wrong. :) So far, so good. Right now I'm in my 2nd week and on thicker liquids. Not too bad. I was told I look healthier this week than last week. Uh yeah, because last week all I could have is beef or chicken broth and juice!

That's great you are doing so well. It's like when you know you dieting its hard but if I was not on it I know I wouldn't be hungry. It's crazy. So you should be due for a fill if your starting to fill hungry right? How much weight you've lost?

I am doing pretty good now on my pre-op. Its not like I over eat or eat all day but when that hunger hit its crazy. I guess I never been really hungry because since this its like I am hungry all freakin day. But I did do well today. I cant wait to get to that feeling with the band where those hunger pains go away. lol I need to change my ticker to I still have surgery date set for the 10th. Have you got a fill yet?

I'm so proud of myself. Went to waterburgers to get my mother some breakfast and I didn't get anything. Well an orange juice that's it.

Hi!
