Ok I have been trying SUPER hard to lose a few pounds before next Wednesdays pre-op appt! My hubby even wanted to eat at our favorite Mexican whole in the wall on Sunday night and I refused!! Then woke up Monday morning a pound UP???? With NO CHEATING???? I was so frustrated that I broke down yesterday and didn't count points/track and bought some mini crumb cake donuts:frown1:!!! I don't understand why I even have to lose weight anyway???? Yeah, yeah I know the fatty liver... BUT HELLO that's why I'm having this surgery:mad: I NEED HELP LOL! Oh and now I'm up ANOTHER POUND?????

Sorry:crying:, I just needed a place to vent. Thanks!

Aww sleeve! It's tough without any help from anything. This will probably be one of the toughest things you will ever do, but the rewards will make it worth it and then some.

Luckily I kinda have a head start, as I'm doing a band to sleeve revision. This is my second go-around so I know what to expect and thus makes the ride a little easier. Just remember, that this diet is meant to shrink that liver... you don't want to risk anything. Hang in there, and so far I think you are doing great. :sad0:

I could mail you some water pills! Try warm lemon water before you go to bed and when you get up. Cut out all the carbs, fruit, and only eat veggies and protein. Of course its a:biggrin2:lways easier giving advice then following it. lol!

Thanks dolls!

Hahahaha! You are funny Humpty! I tried one of those pills before and it made me SOOO sick lol! I think I will try cutting out the carbs tomorrow (too late for today), I'm sure that will help me lose by next Wednesday.

Thanks again!!

If you stick to anything at all in your pre op diet stick with the low carbs. They don't want your liver to be fatty since it puts you at risk of them bumping it. From what I read if they even bump your liver it can bleed making your recovery much slower. I promise they have their reasons be hind it. I'm one month post op and I still do low carbs. I don't eat bread or pasta and I'm down 27 lbs in 30 days.

I technically have not been put on an offical pre-op diet yet (my pre-op appt is on 8/18/10), I just really wanted to try and lose some weight before then.

But thanks so much for the 411 it's so true about the carbs, liver etc. I really appreciate it :-)

I know this is no help at all, but DUDE, THAT SUCKS. hahaha. sometimes I think we just need somebody kicking the wall with us. :frown1:

I'm sure you'll be fine though! I know for me frustration is the best of my (few) workout motivations. Harness it, girl!

Same here! My appt is the 27th and I'm trying to lose weight before hand. A lot of people tell me to eat like there is no tomorrow since my life will be changing soon. But I refuse to listen to that. This is no a lose weight quick scheme. So I start Aug 1st and lost 6 lbs so far. I'm trying to stay off the scale until Sat. On the down side, the nurse told me these pounds don't count towards the weight lost before surgery. But they count for me, KWIM? Even 6 lb down and I'm starting to feel better stick with it. Your doing great !!!
