I am on Day 2 of my pre-op also my surgery date is October 30th. I find it very hard to get in all the shakes. I am not having any issues but I find I don't have all the time to keep drinking 4 shakes a day, I have been also keeping myself very busy and find I am not hungry. Question I have noticed that my urine output is very reduced, Do you think it is because of all the Protein. I remember when all the hype about the Atkins diet and people having kidney problems with all the protein. Any thoughts?

My pre-op (surgery on November 20) is really not much of a pre-op. I've been low carbing it for years, and this is very similar.

Lol... Mindijean...put that menu of yours away!

That's making me hungry. Most of us don't really get food per say.

May I ask... What is your BMI ?

I'm sorry! Do you want me to delete it?

It just amazes me how different everyone's pre and post op diets are.

According to what I typed in here, it's 48?

Lol, no u don't need to remove it. I'm just super hungry right now (day three, only Protein Shakes, lettuce and chicken) so I'm thinking those 15 nuts look delicious. Lol.

So strange... Everyone's diets are soooo different.

My BMI is 35 and I'm realizing, our pre op diets must be based on many factors.

I think it was gamer girl who said that her and her hunny both used the same doc and had the same BMi but were on different pre op diets.

My three days before surgery are CLEAR liquid only. That outta be fun :-/

I'm so sorry you have such an icky diet!

Mine is the standard protocol for my hospital. I'm going to Froedtert in Milwaukee to have the surgery. They don't want us using liquid as a way of life and so start us off on pureed foods in the hospital. This hospital is a Center for Excellence, so I figure they must be doing something right?

I have a big problem with most sugar free items and artificial sweeteners, so I cannot imagine having three days of clear liquid.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
