Any October surgeries out there...

[sageandcoyesmommy 28]

Need help! I have to lose at least 17lbs. In two weeks or I won't be an October surgery any ideas how to take it off fast.

I'm on day 4 of the pre-op diet and I've lost 11 pounds already. My pre-op diet is limited to 20 grams of Protein though. I don't think It's healthy, but It's what my program requires and It's probably okay short-term to get the weight that you need to get off

My diet they want all Protein and little vegetables.

Well good Sunday afternoon lady's hope everything is well with you. I am getting more and more excited about our surgery. . I am starting now try to train my self to eat smaller bites of food and sipping Water . I have cut out all caffeine to make things easy. Trying out Protein Shakes as well . Got to start walking more though but it is so hard because I have really bad back issues and my legs to. But I know the good lord will see me thru. But I am worried about the meds I take dailey are they going to adsorption well or not I guess I will have to make sure with doc.

I am also getting very excited I am one month away as of today. Yesterday was a little stressful my husband and I went out for dinner and a movie. I was getting ready and clothes that fit a few months ago no longer fit. I told my husband that when I gained weight prior to my band the weight came on gradual so even though I was heavy and stressed about it it wasn't as noticeable as it is now. It is so frustrating since I had issues with my band at the beginning of this year and it slipped. my weight has came back on very fast and it is so hard to know that a year ago I was in a size 16 now I am back in a 20/22. I hate the way I feel now and can't wait to start my journey.

Hi all.....wow October is going to be a busy month.

This is a big week for me. I am done with my 6 month pre-op program and all of the tests. So I meet with the Dietitian on Tuesday for her to quiz me on what I have learned and sign me off, then I meet with the surgeon on Friday to sign me off. I think I'm good to go, but until all is said and done I am having huge anxiety!!!! Hopefully I will get my surgery date at that point- still aiming for Oct 21st. Wish me luck.

October 22!!! Nervous but very excited!!

[Rafa3 14]

I've gained 8 lbs since 7/12

I think I'm gonna go ahead and buy some Protein Shakes and substitute a couple of meals a day. Get a head start on getting rid of this extra weight. Anyone here choosing to do a pre op diet without MD requirement? If so, what are you doing? Hope everyone's is doing great! We're almost there!!!

I am scheduled for October 1st. I start the Liquid Protein pre-op diet on the 17th of Sept. I am not looking forward to that part of it as I have heard that it is the hardest part. I am excited about the surgery and looking forward to getting healthy.
