QOTD: I'm 5'2 my goal weight is 135. My start weight is 270,135 is half of me. But I would love to be 115-120.

Today is my preop appointment. I didn't lose the whole 15 pounds the doctor asked me to. I lost 11. I hope it's good enough. I'm so nervous.

Good luck with your appointment! I'm crossing my fingers and toes 11 lbs is enough. I can't imagine they would put off surgery for being 4lbs short! :)

Just 22 days away...I'm so extremely excited. Only 3 Weeks left till the beginning of my new life. What's the first thing that comes to your mind, when thinking about your new life. My new life will be the beginning of the firsts. First to buy small small clothes, first to buy a swimsuit, first to scubadive, first to skydive....oh the life I see is far more exciting than the one im leaving behind.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is not being self conscious all the time! I also can't wait to enjoy going clothes shopping and wearing cute clothes, playing outside with my 3 year old without getting tired, going on vacation and wearing a swimsuit without shorts and a t-shirt over them, and being really active and doing fun things with my hubby!

Hey all. I started the preop diet today. So far so good. No headaches....no shiznits. :) I gave myself a schedule...every 2 hours. I strayed away a little and forgot my 415, that turned into 530 but whatever :) I feel great for not eating all day. And, you know what I realized? Since i started the pre-preop diet (meal replacement) I havent had the normal side pain that I always have. 1 day down, 15 to go.

Me too, well it's my pre-pre-op liquid diet (10 days is required). I have been okay too, surprisingly. My daughter is sick so I made broth for both of us. I am using myfitnesspal.com for tracking. If anyone else is on there please friend me: Mom_24

One day down, 20 to go. I did possibly deviate slightly. I took a can of chunk chicken and blended it in with the chicken broth, to add Protein and a bit of "oomph" but I will track it and see if it seems like it is counter-productive to the plan. I am about to head out and buy some unflavored protein at HEB, so I can try that next time.

Good luck futureskinnypants and everyone else starting or in the throes of pre-op! We can do this! :P

Awesome! I am SOOO hungry :( The guy in the cubicle across from me was chowing down on Taco Bell and I wanted to throw something at his head lol. We also had a rep come visit us today and he brought a huge tray of mini brownies. MEAN! I just drank my shakes and put on my headphones.

Have you tried the PB2? I put some in my chocolate shake today and it tasted just like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup. Yum!

Started my preop diet yesterday. 2 days almost down, 8 to go. It is not as bad as I thought, at least so far. My boss made my Jello jigglers with sugar free jello for my birthday and I have been munching on those through out the day.

What is PB2? I currently am using the the nectar protien and like it pretty well. I also have bullion, Decaf tea and crystal light all here at my desk.

PB2 is powdered Peanut Butter. It only has 45 calories for 2 tablespoons and 5 grams of Protein. It tastes really good mixed with chocolate Protein Powder.< /p>

Hmm, I'm not sure if it is sold in Canada. Here is their website: http://bellplantation.com/

I know you can buy it from Amazon but I don't know if they ship to Canada. I bought mine at GNC. I saw it at several health food stores here too.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
