Hey all! I'm new around these parts

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

I'm jan 10th and also down 10 lbs. My pre surgery BMI was 37 (210 lbs). I weighed 201lbs day of surgery and now 190lbs. At first I was a little frustrated and then I laughed at myself.....it's been over 5 years since I had a 10lb loss and seen my weight begin with a 1!! Would I love for it to happen fast you bet' date=' but if I average 10lbs a month I will take it!![/quote']

I was heavier. Started at 268 surg day I was 228. Now 218. First time I've weighed less than my hubby in over a decade. I won't mind going slow but it concerns me to see a whole week with no movement so soon. I will actually do better I think when I'm back on solids cause the stuff I can eat now is full if carbs. Cream of wheat, puddings, cream soups. And frankly really low in protein. For breakfast I ate a pkg of cream of wheat with a scoop of chocolate protein powder which was good (way better than trying to add artificial sweeteners) but that gave me I think 20 g carbs and 280 cals in addition to 29g protein. I was thinking today maybe it's better to just stay on clear liquids and protein shakes. That way I should stay in ketosis.

I totally agree!! I will be ecstatic if I can lose 10lbs a month until goal!! Having surgery on Wednesday so I cannot wait to experience what you are. I have twin toddlers and a 8 month old so I am worried that all their food is going to tempt me. Hopefully it will just like your experience!!

My date was Jan 3rd. I had my first post op visit on Friday and was down 39 lbs. since surgery

That is fabulous!! Congrats!!

That is great weighing less than hubby!! I admit I wouldn't be all that thrilled not seeing a weight change this early. I have seen posts from others that say when they don't see the scalepving they still see the loss in inches. Hang in there. I'm sure it will fall off again soon. Are I taking in more than 800 calories? I think I read somewhere that during full liquids the calorie intake is around 600-800 calories.

Me too' date=' next Tuesday. Are you ready?[/quote']

I'm ready!!! Tuesday cannot come soon enough!

I'm ready!!! Tuesday cannot come soon enough!

You will do great!! I promise you my willpower prior to being sleeved was not great. Lol

Truthfully I haven't counted calories. I drink 2 shakes a day. Eat a yogurt or cream of wheat for breakfast. Sometimes that's all I eat sometimes I have a cup of soup. I doubt I'm going over 800 cals but started actually tracking again today. Another 3 days till soft foods. Can't wait to have meat again.

I was sleeved Thursday and feel great. it was great to meet 2 other forum members at mi doctor. Going to see a little bit of San Diego before going home.

I'm nervous about how I'm gonna do after surgery Wednesday when I'm already soooo sick if protein shakes, broth and sf jello! I just want meat! Lol I can't believe surgery is just a few days away...starting to get nervous.

I feel the same way, Im so tire of it already too.

On my way to OCC. Today is my day!!!

Glad I'm not the only one. At least after Wednesday I won't be hungry all the time on top of bored of the food!

Had surgery this morning. Been in a room since noon. Feeling ok. Worst part in the gas and some cramping.
