I am now on my 2 week Pre-op Diet. It will consist of 4-5 protein milkshakes, which I can make with fruit, nuts, non fat yogurt, and skim milk daily. Also I can have a protein bar for the moment when I feel a hunger moment. I am going to try hard to limit those to 1 each day. I will also need to drink 32-64 oz. of water each day. I will be having my sleeve on Dec.2, it will be here before I know it. I feel like I am on an emotional rollercoaster ride. I am so excited that I am truly getting Closer to having the sleeve surgery. YAHOO, Thank you for all your comments and your thoughts & prayers. I posted a new album of my pictures " Night before Pre-op Diet pictures. I will post more after I get done right before I have the surgery.

Its funny (or not ) how lonely we feel. I have the same feelings but have never had the courage to say them.

Well no more... Sunday the 29th is MY DAY the beginning of the rest of my life (yay me ).

Now im excited thank you all, xxxxx.

Dalite,

I hope today was a great day for you, and your recovery is smooth. Let us hear from you when you are able...

ML - congrats for sticking with your pre-op diet during Thanksgiving - that is a major accomplishment - Dec 2nd will be here before you know it!

I have been on my Pre-op diet since Nov.18 and time is going by so fast. Sunday- Monday-Tuesday will be the last days of my pre-op. I am going to have the sleeve on Wednesday Dec.2. I am glad that this holiday weekend is just about over and that I have not cheated. Yes the food is so tempting, but I am determined that I am going to try to do what is required of me to help the doctor and to help my recovery. I pray that later I will be able to enjoy small portions of all the good food I have missed out on over this holiday. Maybe by Christmas I will be able to eat some of the foods for the holiday just in smaller amounts. I will let you know if I make it to the end of this 2 week pre-op diet without cheating. I have got to get some sleep now if I can.

Well today is now Dec. 11 and I decided to check out all my threads to let you all know how I am doing. I did make it to the End of my pre-op diet without cheating and I did have the surgery. Everthing went real well and I am doing ok. Before the Pre-op diet I weighed 240 pounds which I have some photos posted at that weight. Now I weight 226.6 pounds as of Dec.10 on that morning weigh-in. I am trying to walk some and I am trying to find things to Puree for my Post-op pureed diet, but not much sounds good pureed. I tried some fish that smelled so good last night and I pureed it in cream of mushroom Soup. I had to go slow because a couple of times I felt nauseous. On Wednesday I will be going to the soft food diet, foods that can be mashed with a fork. I am looking foward to that. Well I need to get some sleep, so I am going to stop here and come back to check out and reply on other threads. I am so thankful for all your prayers and concerns!! Have a great day!!
