anyone want to buddy up to encouage and support each other --- just let me know!

Newtree, I only had a week of preop diet. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I did lose some weight during that time, but not a ton. You can do this. I could have all the pickles/broccoli & cauliflower I wanted. So after my meals of what I had to eat, I'd have a bowl of those things

Thanks Graciesmom04! I have 16 days left! Friday was rough... it really was but Saturday was a new day and I feel more in control now! How are you doing?

Glad it's getting better! I finally passed the stall today, lasted a week, and lost 2.8 lbs since Friday. Still on pureed foods & tonight I'm trying cooked carrots. Can't wait!

Cooked carrots I bet are going to taste amazing! Warm and soft! I hope they were wonderful!

This is my first post. Surgery scheduled for March 2. Need a buddy. I just had my last visit with surgeon before surgery. I'm down 30# from where I started end of November. Have lost 20 of those in past 10 days. I'm a little nervous, would be lying if I said I wasn't, but am psych ready for surgery.

periwinkle, you will do great! Sounds like you're already off to a good start! I was same way. I'm 4 weeks post op today. I was really scared...and nervous, but yet excited at the same time. This is a great place to look for answers and has helped me tremendously!

Hi there I would love to join your buddy group!! My surgery is March 17th I have to do the pre-op diet for two weeks - I am just ending week one - tough but will be so worth it. Getting nervous because it's getting close but know this is the healthy and smart thing to do for my self and my body. I'm from New York by the way. :-)

Hi, I am 49 female with about same to lose. Will be having surgery May/June. I'd love to buddy with you. This is all new to me.

Good luck to you!
