My surgery is set for June 4th, sooooo excited! Looking for fun people to have this experience with! Thanks and good luck everyone!

Well I slipped on my preop diet:( I had a piece of cheese and a lean cuisine. Still under calorie limit- but not happy with myself:(

Don't beat yourself up too much about it! Obviously you should try your best to follow your doctors orders, but it isn't the end of the world. The day before my surgery I ate a subway sandwich... Lol. I also have a friend that had a cheeseburger and fries! You will be fine! This is the most difficult part there will be, but you can do it! Good luck!

Thanks:) I feel bad however am proud of my choice if I was gonna slip. What I would really like is a big cheesy piece of pizza.

You did what you were supposed to do. You stayed healthy and within your calories. I went to BJs Brewhpuse today with my family and chose a bowl of chicken tortilla Soup (250 calories). I used that to replace 2 of my shakes.

Once we get to eat real food again, we'll be ahead of the game. We got this!

We go to bj's when we go to Disney- they have good food:) thanks for words of encouragement just bummed at myself.

Thanks:) the hardest thing for me thru this whole process is quitting smoking cigarettes I have smoked for 8 years' date=' but I will say the last 3 weeks I have smoked 1 every other day but not always, going from smoking about a half a pack a day to 1 us very good for me ,it just seems to calm my nerves. Has anybody else had a problem quitting??? If u did quit how?[/quote']

I'm working on it myself. I did good but broke down again this week. Tomorrow is a fresh start

I know it must be a bit tough. I always have a let down after the event I've anticipated has come and gone. That plus "this is now real" must be hard. Just imagine a room full of us cheering you on! We've all made courageous decisions' date=' I think. We should be applauded for our determination![/quote']

Thank you. A lot of emotions in one day. Then before bed I tried on my pre pregnancy jeans and they buttoned!!! 2 weeks ago, there was no way. They are too tight but the buttoned, and that was my sign to get me to and thru another day. I appreciate your support

Hang in there' date=' I cannot even imagine the roller coaster ride you are going through post surgery emotionally and physically. I know you will do amazing.[/quote']

Thank u! You too! It's a big change right. I was never a great eater and terrible at sitting to have meals. I'm a single mom of a 1 yr old who is my motivator. Just trying to figure out who I am again I guess without food and drinks on the weekends and my pizza! It's the first week! Lets check in when we see results, bet well b smiling for sure.,

Omg. Today was my First outing cookout where they had pizza. It looked wonderful. I wasn't that hungry but pizza is my weak spot. But I fed some to my son instead. You did make a great choice and its a new day!

Way to go resisting it! It's hard but just trying to retrain my thinking towards food. I have been on my preop diet for 6 days and have slipped a bit but still remained under 1200 calories. On the scales this am and have lost a total of 7.6 pounds since Monday. Having a hard time not getting on that stupid scale every morning. Anyone else?
