I wish you the best! I'm the 23rd. Ready to get this going. I felt like a poodle jumping through every hoop possible to get approved for the flipping surgery.lol

I'm scheduled for this Wednesday 9/18, I'm pretty nervous for the fact that I don't want to lose too much can't seem to do it on my own, I currently weigh 179 and I don't want to get below 140, I've read stories where people have lost 30 pounds only a few weeks after surgery, I hope I'm not one of them.

I'm having a hard time with being hungry too. Today I've already had 68g of protein and still feel like I'm starving and every time I turn around my friends on Facebook are talking about food' date=' posting food, or eating food, plus I never paid attention to how many food commercials were on tv until now!! The only thing keeping me going right now is knowing my surgery is on the line if I don't do it! If anyone has any suggestions on getting through this...I'm totally open to them!!![/quote']

I added protein powder to some tomato soup. Also, I have been drinking a lot of chamomile tea. I can have non starchy veg anytime so that helps a lt. I am sick to death of protein shakes.

I keep reminding myself of the post from the woman who felt really good after surgery and attributed it to following her pre op diet.

That's unflavored protein powder. I have one more week to go!

Day one of 14 day pre op diet ugh...

My surgery is scheduled for September 19th. Birmingham Alabama Dr. Pennington.

Ok today I'm doing a little better with the diet. I called my doc and he doesn't want me taking any appetite suppressants because he said they would interfere with the heart during surgery. So he told me I can have extra veggies when the hunger pains gets unbearable. I am allowed tea also, I went out and got some green tea with pomegranate for my keurig machine and it is great! I hate tea without sugar, but I used one splenda pack and its awesome! I can do this! I have done 30mins of exercise so far....I have the walking dvd with leslie sansome, good workouts on it. I will try the vegetable broth and see if I can manage that. The atkins shakes are very good especially the cafe caramel, but not the strawberry one! I don't think anyone would like the strawberry. It comes out thick, and has a texture of spoiled milk! I gagged and couldn't finish. All the chocolate ones are good and my doctor recommends 3 a day. For a 4 pack at walmart they are $5.63. Be sure to look for the ones that says coupon inside. The coupon is $2 off two 4 packs, and the cashier let me open the box and use them at checkout.

Ok, so I had decaf today. I now have a dull headache. :-(. Ill live,but just want to get through these next few days.
