valkyrea 41 Posted September 6, 2013 my date is September 20. Keep me posted as to how it goes! When do you start the preop liquid diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valkyrea 41 Posted September 6, 2013 I am Sept 23 as well! Had my last pre op appt today. When the nurse weighed me she said "this is the last time you will weigh this much". Wow' date=' I can hardly imagine. I start 2 week liquids on Monday - I get 3 oz of Lean Protein twice in the two weeks and all the non starchy veg I want. I am going to make a pot of WW 0 point veg Soup and eat that in addition to my Protein Shakes. It tastes really good and is filling.[/quote'] My diet starts on the 18th. But I'm thinking of maybe starting on the 16th. I can have one Protein Shake a day if it gets really bad. I've never heard of the WW 0 point soup. I'll google it I need recipes!

yeshello 1 Posted September 6, 2013 How are you feeling? Is it as bad as you imagined it? The pre-op diet? It's not bad but I'm on it for 2 weeks.. it's only day 2 and I'm trying to find ways to have vegetables Lol.. I'm used to some rice or noodles or shrimp in there! I guess I just have to get used to it... After surgery will be worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chattykathywlc 3 Posted September 6, 2013 Thanks for the support, I guess the reason I feel like I am second guessing myself I will only have 10 day off from work. Then work two weeks and fly out to Las Vega for my daughters wedding. From what I have read and heard, you are not able to eat much at all I have not told anyone about me getting surgery. I don't want others to know what I am doing. My doctor told said "what are you going to tell your co-worker and family when they notice your weight lost"? When I had my lapband and lost 80 lbs, I didnt tell most co-workers and many family members for the first 7-8 months, then I didnt care!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
