Hey all, I'm at the hospital waiting for my turn to go into surgery. I have just met the lovely anaesthetist and had a horrible antacid drink. Nervous but can't wait to be on the other side

That antacid drink was the worst part, haha!

Best of luck to you!!

OMG SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. SEEMS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS food. I KNOW IT WILL GET BETTER BUT I HOPE IT DOES SOON!! I HATE WATCHING TV BECAUSE IT SEEMS THE ONLY THING ON ARE FOOD COMMERCIALS!!

I still haven't stopped. I start Soups tomorrow and I. Cannot. WAIT!! I agave some great recipes from a book called what to eat after weight loss surgery and I have bought everything for chicken and mushroom Soup (puréed) and puréed shrimp bisque. All low fat, low carb, high Protein.

My husband made his AMAZING and spicy tortilla soup recipe tonight and we drank just the broth. Soooo good!

He does it from the Cook's illustrated recipe out of their Light cookbook. That broth had so much flavor. Best thing I've had in 3 weeks!

Yeah' date=' I avoid food commercials, and make myself finish my Protein Shakes and eat sf Jello and sf popsicles. I feel weak but I have 9 days left till surgery. I'm trying to stay focused, I think I need to try almond milk or silk because the lactose is killing me. Just not sure, never tried any of those before not sure if I should just suck it up and stick with the non fat milk. Sigh![/quote']

have u lost weight

[gia24 85]

Honestly, I don't own a scale, I pray I'm losing something because it would suck not to, after going through the 2 week liquid pre-op diet, but won't know for sure until I check in on my surgery date.

Hello to my fellow August sleevers!!! I haven't checked in lately. I went to my surgeon's office for my final weigh-in today. I'm down 9LBS on my 2-week pre-op diet.

August 12th sleevers we're next up to bat on Monday! *screams* I go in at 5:30am and surgery is set for 7:30. I'm not too nervous; my faith & support system keeps me strong. My prayers are with all of my sleeve sisters & brothers!

Good luck to those who are post-op and current/future pre-op dieters. :-)

We think he is amazingly skilled. We too had very little pain with him. Congratulations!
