Ok here is my issue, just over a week out and I have plateaued on my weight loss. my Dr gave me a 20-25 lb weight loss requirement and I am still about 8 lbs off and can't seem to loose anymore. I have my last pre-op appointment with him on Tuesday, so I will see how I am doing.

I am following all of my NUT's diet requirements, but just haven't lost anymore. I am scared to death that come the morning of the 25th I won't have lost enough and I will get sent home. At this point of all the fears and concerns I have this is my greatest, to go through all this and then get sent home, what a let down that would be.

Maybe a colon cleanse?

Preop appt this am! Had my shake, no coffee , but I'm ready to go.

I'm June 25th! Wahooooo! I've plateaued the last 4 days as well.

I have been having SF jello to help get through the days but today is getting to me. I didn't have an appetite at all yesterday, today I could have eat my desk at work!

Oh my gosh.... I have felt the same way today!!! There was a mandatory meeting for one of the groups at my office today. Because it was being held during the lunch hour, they brought in some of the towns best PIZZA!!!! Ooooooh I was held hostage by such incredible aroma! But my liver and I escaped!!!!!

Hello June 25th sleevers! I can't seem to stop moving; some of it is nervous energy and some is as a result of losing about 40 pounds pre-surgery weight. I have everything I need for the Phase One liquid diet (2 weeks). Oh...and I bought plenty of Appletini Crystal Light; it was a Raley's. It was out of stock at Walmart and Amazon want too much for it. It really is good, tastes just like an apple jolly rancher hard candy. My insurance doesn't cover liquid Loritab (for pain relief) so that is going to be out of pocket. They will cover Vicodin which can be crushed; hoping to avoid having to do this because I have tons of other meds I will already be crushing. Well, that's it for my update. Hang in there everyone and know everything is going to work out just fine.

That's all I think, lol. I hope this helps.

Decided to have a pedicure today, so I'll have nice feet for surgery. Wouldn't want them to talk about me while I'm out of it.

Went to see the surgeon and nutritionist today. They were pleased with my weight loss and even told me to go have my fave meal for dinner tonight and that I could prolly eat a responsible meal each day till surgery, watching the carbs, and have shakes for the other two meals.

I havden't even starting thinking about after surgery diet...My dr hasn't discussed what I can have...I know I don't want his diet packets anymore!

Guess I'll do a little research andget some things this weekend ....So ready for Monday !!!

I just found this site and I'm having surgery on Monday the 25th too. I've been doing the pre-op Protein shakes (New Direction) and am doing well. I'm so ready for some beef broth or something, though.

I'm feeling excited, nervous and ready for Monday! I look forward to looking around this site a bit more and checking in with all of you.

Best wishes to all of us for a safe surgery and speedy recovery!
