Excited to get started. Started high Protein, low carb diet one week ago, in ketosis down 4lbs. Liver shrinking stage.

Heya,

I'm still a newbie on this site, I joined about a month ago. I'm in the same boat as you I don't know anyone getting surgery done. This site has been great! I have learned quite a few tips, and it's nice to hear everyone's experience of going through the whole process. Good luck on your surgery

[mcclayne 36]

Just saw your reply, didn't have it set up right. Surgery in 4 days! (28th)

How are you doing?

You're date?

I am getting done on the 16 of February. ..very excited and very nervous. Looking for some buddies too.

[mcclayne 36]

Awesome, let's do it! I want to know I'm/we're going into this having everything we need to be successful.

I find this forum hard to use because hard to sort messages and threads so if I don't respond text me

503-748-9452. With 4 days left I want ease and peace of mind ????

Have you found some good shakes to drink immediately post-op?

Hey everyone..im surgery is scheduled for feb 4th...getting nervously excited lol..just had my pre anaesthesia test and everything was good but my sugar..it was 270 and they want it below 200 so now im really buckeling down in this preop diet. I have lost 11 pounds so far but struggling to stay away from carbs lol

[mcclayne 36]

Are you using my fitness pal? I love it!! Made all the difference for me. I'm just the opposite, I told myself this morning I have to up my carbs because I show too many ketones.

What kind of diet are you following to prepare for the 4th?

[bayla1212 5]

I have just downloaded my fitness pal..looks cool..thanks! My NUT put me on a 2 wk 1200 a day diet..no sugar or carbs so basically chicken and veggies is all im eatting (or trying to) lol

[mcclayne 36]

Awesome! I'm an expert at my fitness pal pal at this point and you'll be surprised at how easy and great it is.

I'm doing 1100 calories and goaled for under 40 carbs per day and it's so easy to track and stick to because my fitness pal tells you the nutrition values and scans things and tells you how you're doing during the day.

If you'd like help with it at all, let me know and I'd be more than happy to. With surgery Wednesday this is all I'm thinking about now anyway!

[mcclayne 36]

I put I goaled for 40 carbs, but I haven't been over 24 Net Carbs per day in 9 days since learning to use fitness pal to calculate and track.

[DevilAngela13 14]

I downloaded my fitness pal. My NUT said not to go by the calories just use the Protein part of this app. So am I suppose to just plug my food in and see how many Proteins I am taking in??? I am confused. I am eating light this week...he wants to see me start losing g something g before I start my 2 weeks liquid diet which begins on February 2.

Surgery is scheduled on February 16. EGD is tomorrow

[mcclayne 36]

Calories, carbs, Protein, all is automatically counted.

It's very easy. Go to goals page, put in numbers even if you aren't focused on them, it will give you a guideline.

Every time you put food in it shows and keeps track of nutritional content.

I've lost 24lbs since I started using it 11 weeks ago because I use it to determine what I should eat before I eat it. It's a great tool!
