wow i cant believe i actually lost 7lbs on this pre op diet so far. I think i finally hit my stride with this. yesterday i had a nice treat that was allowed on my list. a nice juicy tomato with some pepper. I ate it like an apple LOL.

Even though i am only 7lbs down i am starting to feel different already. That bloaty feeling is gone from my stomach and i can actually feel some loss around my waist ( i always lose weigh there first) this is the most weight i have lost in five years.

Just felt like bragging for a sec! its been a while since i saw the number on the scale below 255. I am 248 as of today!

How are you feeling at 8 days out?

I'm down 6.

Hope I am feeling GREAT!! Now don't get me wrong... I still have some "tender" spots, still figuring out how to get all the fluids in, the Protein up and fiddling with different mushy foods. Don't make the same mistake I did before heading into surgery. I for some reason was reading all the posts by people who " went back to work the following day", " walked 3 miles the day after" ..... THAT IS NOT TYPICAL!!!

I have had to remind myself that this IS major surgery. Take care of yourself and do the plan as you have been told and you will be just fine!!! If I can help in anyway PLEASE don't hesitate to ask!!!
