Hey Guys! New Pre-op Sleever here. Surgery date is 3/12/12. Started my 2 week Liquid diet today. Hunger pains are not fun to say the least. I am having my surgery done at Our Lady of The Lake by Dr. Hausmann. Just wanted to stop in and say hi. I can't wait for a new lease on life to begin. This has definitely been an eye opening journey to say the least.

Welcome!!! )) I would have responded sooner, but I had to have some surgery and I have been healing and catching up on school. So glad to meet you!! How did that diet go? I have to do a week and I hear it is nasty! I finally scheduled my surgery. April 2nd! I will probably just be done healing from this one, but I am looking forward to getting started! Nasty protein diet and ALL! Let me know how you are doing!!

Pre-op diet has kinda stunk. I find my metabolism to be low and its hard to go out with friends when they eat and u cant. But anything worth doin aint easy. One week and counting! (Lifts up his protein shake) Here's to a healthier life!

I know what you mean about the diets. I am having a hard time with the post surgery diet right now....I would LOVE some meat...I have such grand Ideas about what will be my first meat product I will eat when I am given the go ahead. lol Daydreaming is a bittersweet thing. I am hanging in there tho. How are you doing??

Ya know its been a month now and its all still trial and error...Baby Food sucks lol. So I stick to mostly mashed potatoes and black beans or refried beans. Still trying to get up to exercising almost everyday.

Its head vs. new body for sure. I find that the ghrelin that they talked about is definitely gone. I have to force myself to eat a lot. Holidays suck. I can't tell you how much i was asked yesterday. "How was your Easter meal?" Haha the five spoonfuls of mashed potatoes were great! Thanks. lol How are you doing?

Ha! I know what ya mean! It's nice though, not really craving food. I get hungry though. And I do feel like I need protein. I was able to introduce some tuna in my diet a little early since I havent been having any problems. It was very nice. Told my husband to spring for the Albacore next time. Makes it like a gourmet meal. Haha. I start my workout videos on Monday or Tuesday. My doc said that the sooner you are eating like normal, the sooner you are able to workout like normal, so Im all for that. I am so glad you are doing well! Looks like you have lost an awesome amount so far!!
