Well, here I am with my date for surgery and it's a lot further away than I had hoped but scheduled nonetheless. My date is July 3rd, 2013. I have my PreOp class on June 18th. They gave me two dates in June but both coincided with my sister's pregnancy dates (baby shower and birth) and since my mom will be taking care of both of us (in two different states) I waited on mine until July. It's not as quick as I had hoped but I'm glad it's scheduled and I'm on my way :-)

Blessings,

Chris

I no Wat u mean. I'm only down 39# I haven't lost any in 2wks i've ate bad a few days but the rest I did pretty good, so idk if that's Wat caused it. even the bad days was never over 900cal. The rest was 600 n less.

You might try increasing your calories. I had a stall for a few weeks and read that anything under 800 calories puts your body in starvation mode. I also started doing some cardio which helped too!!

Ty. I may try that. I also have been doing Water arobics. I thought about going back to liquids for at least 2 days maybe it might jump start me.

Only thing i'm scared to go back to my dr. in 3wks. From the last time I went he said he wanted 28# off n so far it 2 he's already called me himself n fussed. :/ some way I gotta get at least 20# off by 3wks. Help!!!

In my humble non professional opinion you need to eat more. I eat a minimum of 850 calories a day most days and make sure protein is at least 70 usually 85 or more. I had a stall for about 2 weeks but figure it was just my body adjusting and note it is coming of again. I am down 55 since beginning the pre op diet.

Good luck :-)

Feel like c**p.

Stayed out a bit longer than anticipated and had no snacks with me. So when the family grabbed take out from the grocery store before we shopped I thought the yogurt parfait looked like it would work for me. Yogurt, granola, fruit. ... what can go wrong? Well half way thru got nauseous and crampy. So stopped eating. Went online and checked nutrition and it had 300 calories must have tons of sugar. Paying for it now:(. Lesson learned... always carry emergency Quest bars.

I eat quite a bit of ricotta, Greek yogurt and cheese. Plus I have a Protein shake for Breakfast which gets me off to a good start. I will also throw a half scoop of Protein powder into a yogurt or coffee if I am short for the day(but trying not to do that too often). Plus I sometimes eat half a Quest bar for my Snacks.
