All In August 2014!

Today is day 4 on the liquid pre op diet. Yesterday I made myself some yummy homemade Tomato Soup and added unflavored Protein Powder. My grandson who is 6 ate Soup with me instead of what the rest of the family was having(with no Protein powder). He is so sweet! Down 6 pounds so far on the liquid diet!

Has everyone taken their measurements? My hubby helped me take mine before I started my pre op diet. Can't wait to see them going down! I think this May also be beneficial during the dreaded stalls I have read about! God bless you all in your journey!!

I'm not one for measurements I go by how I feel and how my clothes fit.

I did take my measurments but I want to do it again before I start my preop.

Have any of you taken before pics yet? I was gonna have my mom do them but she's really sick so I sucked it up and asked my hubby if he will. I'm nervous about that tho, I hate the idea of him focusing on my weight lol. Weird I know

My hubby took my pics too. He was real sweet about it but I was embarrassed too.

August 18 here. Lost 65 lbs since June, including the 26 lbs since I joined the Geisinger Nutrional Clinic which is where I will be having my bypass. I have an appt on the %th for preop and to meet the anest.....Oh heck the guy that puts you to sleep. Getting excited, bought Protein powder and a shaker bottle to mix it in. Been told a Sippy cup keeps you from drinking too fast, might have to use my great grandson Matty's cup.

Been fat ever since I can remember. My health became very bad last spring, doc thought I had a silent heart attack. I am so tired of being out of breath when I walk, ore exert myself even a little. Cared for my husand after prostrate cancer treatment two years ago and realized that I have to be healthier to care care of him when he needs me to. Also want to stick around for a while and see my great grand kids grow up.......One due to be born any day now.

Oh yeah 63 years old here Even though I mentally feel about 16 most times

11 days until my surgery! The liquid pre op diet is getting easier for me since I started making my own Soups. And I found a Protein Shake I really like. It's expensive so I only drink one a day as a treat . It's Core Power Light made by the CocaCola company. The chocolate is yummy and the strawberry/banana is good too! I hope everyone is having a good day! God Bless!

Congrats on the date!!!! So there are quite a few of us - thats wonderful - means we have more people to swap stories with as we go along. I like the idea of learning from people going through at same time!

August 5th RNY here. Taking a couple of days for me. My nerves are working overtime! Excited, anxious, scared, afraid ... Lots of emotions.
