I had to take a 5 hour education class this past week and it was very informative and I got a lot of samples of Protein and Vitamin stuff. BUT, it felt like I was in the class foreeeevvver. It went by so slow, I felt like I was back in school again lol

Awesome! I start my pre op diet Wednesday and I'm excited and not at the same time! Excited because it means surgery is near but nervous because I'm scared of how I'm gonna handle liquids only for two weeks... It's weird that so many people have different pre op diets... What does your dr have you doing?

Hi Ladies,

I know my date will be in April but I do not have a definite date, yet. I share the excitement and nervousness. I am so inspired reading all the success stories. I definitely need buddies. I am happy that we can all go through this together. I am in Raleigh, North Carolina.

I've noticed that about everyone's diets being so different. I was so worried I would have to be on all liquids but luckily that is not the case. My 2 week diet consists of 3 meals a day high in Protein and very low in carbs. Each meal I can have up to 3 oz of a lean meat high in Protein, and 1 cup of vegetables. I have to drink 3 Protein shakes a day in between meals. But the day before surgery is liquids only. Not too bad! But I love me some carbs and most people do so the first few days will still be hard since my body will go into ketosis from the lack of carbs..but I GOT THIS!! :)

Wow yes the diets are definitely different. I have never had good self control so the next two weeks are going to be interesting. I'm glad I have this site for motivation and support!

I'm April 8 and I'm in Australia. I've been such a pig with some kind of 'last meal' mentality towards chocolate and ice cream that I'm sort of looking forward to the milkshakes and Soup only! Lol! Bit nervous about op too but I'm ready for a new life! Good luck everyone :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
