Surgery Date Set April 30!!! Now im getting nervous.

My surgery is the 28th. I am just praying for the emotional roller coaster to not go too high or low. My husband is being so supportive so that really helps!

The end of day 9 on my liquid preop diet. Reality is setting in. Oh so nervous and wish these next few days would fly by. Worried I'm not losing enough, anxious about the procedure, looking forward to a new beginning. Sighs

Pre-op diet sucks. I feel like Shirley Temple in that scene in "The Little Princess" were the mean girl asks her if she is actually hungry and Shirley Temple yells "Yes! I am hungry. I'm so hungry I could eat you."

I do not feel that hungry all the time just off and on during the day. I have found that broth helps me feel full. Something about the warmth. I also tolerate the Protein powder in broth better than the sweet drinks.

Tomorrow will be one week since I started the pre-op diet. I am worried I am not doing well enough. I am logging the daily calories on myfitness pal and they run between 700 and 1000 a day. Depending on which Protein shakes I drink and what my one meal consists of.

I am supposed to have 2 Protein Shakes and a dinner consisting of 3oz of lean Protein and 1 1/2 to 2 cups non-starchy veggies. No added fat or sugar. I can add extra Protein Drink if needed. They did not give me a calorie count to stay within but I am still scared that somehow I am over the line. I cheated this morning and had half an ounce of beef tenderloin and 1 grilled shrimp when I made my husband his lunch. I feel so guilty and I am terrified my liver will be all fatty. So far that is my only cheat but I still feel guilty.

I felt the same way but at least your "cheat" was all protein. You didn't do so bad. I cheated with rotisserie chicken from food Lion. I was told everything looked good. I wasn't lucid enough to remember asking about the liver specifically. You're gonna do great.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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
