Had my first apt today & I think it went pretty well. I go back November 8th for a nutrition class & an apt with one of the Doc's. I need to loose 25lbs prior to surgery. Wish me luck!

I am just going to try to be really careful of what I eat. I am in too much pain most days to be able to exercise much. I have a bakers cyst behind my knee & I have fibromyalgia. I am praying this helps with a lot of my pain!

That's awesome! What kind of shakes did you drink? I have just been doing calories & fat. I haven't really looked at the shakes yet.

Try carnation instant Breakfast no sugar added and mix with skim milk I found that to be the best tasting and has 26 g of Protein.

Good luck on your new Journy

Welcome and good luck and you might want to try writing everything down that you are eating. This is most likely one thing the nutritionist will have you do after you meet with them. And you will be a step ahead getting into the habit of writing things down. And it really comes to the front of your mind when you actually write it down. I have lost 15 pounds pre op just by feeling more accountable to what I was eating. Hope this helps.

I had already gotten the myfitnesspal app but had not been real consistent in logging everything. I am now being much more diligent in logging everything that goes in my mouth.

Thanks for the info on the shakes! Gonna get some next time I go for groceries.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
