My pre-op diet is also high Protein & <20 carbs a day, but no restrictions in portion size. I started it 3 days early, just in case I missed the mark on carbs at first, but I didn't have a problem. I have been on it for 8 days & lost 18.5 lbs (!!!). I almost fell off the scale...didn't even know that was possible. I made my hubs get on to make sure it wasn't broken. 320 to 301.5 in 8 days...complete shocker, and I still have a 9 days to go.

No, I'm not working out. We just started a once a week yoga lesson which I will have to skip for a few weeks post op. However, when I went to class yesterday, it felt like I wasn't limping as much as I usually do & I didn't have as much pain. My ortho doc said that for every 10 lbs of weight off, it's 40 lbs of pressure off my knees. So I've just taken almost 80 lbs of pressure off! I'm hopeful that I will be able to start working out soon, at least a little. :)

Hi Everyone! Eagerly awaiting my 06/20/13 surgery date. I am stocking up on the things I can have in the first couple of weeks. Isopure' date=' chicken broth, Powerade Zero for the first couple days. Also getting baby food (apple sauce), pudding, yogurt, cottage cheese. I plan to make some chicken Vegetable Soup next weekend. I will puree it and freeze it in small portions.

I hear that popcicles are great in the first couple weeks. I do not do Nurtrasweet (aspartame), so I will be looking for one with Splenda (sucalose).

Anyone have any suggestions of thing to stock up on?[/quote']

I got yogurt, broth, cottage cheese, sf Popsicles, Jello ready made and box mix, crystal light. For pureeing I purchased some soft canned veggies like carrots and green Beans, no fat refried Beans, no fat gravy to make food slippery and tasty.

I guess you are meaning hot tea? I have done tea parties for kids since I work at a victorian house museum. Our HEB stores have a great strawberry tea that kids love. They just stir in the sugar.

I am not sure if you want black or herbal, bit you can get various flavors in both. It is important to note that buying cheap tea is a gamble. Stick with brands you know like Lipton, Bigalow, or Twinnings. Barnes and noble cafes and some grocers carry Republic of tea wh ich is great also.

I recommend you start with something that has fruit in it. Blackberry Sage by rep of Tea is a great one. More fruity than herby. Ginger peach as well. They are also black teas, not herbal. If its caffiene you want, get black tea based.

I have a huge assortment of teas at home. If you like I will be happy to send you a sample pack. Just let me know what you like! :) PM me so we can hash things out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
