Thanks. It's good to know that I am with you. I am second guessing myself on this. There are so many versions of this...seems like every doctor has their own take on the pre-op diet. Thanks for chiming in. :)

Day one of my pre-op diet. It wasn't so bad. Were you all looking at your daily calories while you were on the pre-op? I was at almost 700 calories today. That seems high to me..

Jill I am on my last day of the pre-op diet. I have been averaging between 640 to 800 cals on any given day. I am down a little over 20lbs. MyFirnessPal flips out on me with what my intake is 1200, BUT that is for a normal 2lbs a week type plan.

Well, last day of having my rabbit food..hehe. Tomorrow I begin a week of all shakes and pureed fruits. Im down a total of 14 lbs in just 6 days and feel pretty flipping good. Ive consumed more avacado, potatoes, carrots, brussel spouts and asparagus than i have in the last 15 years. My body is clearly recognizing this as I am craving more and getting hungry faster. The Protein Shakes with PB2 is helping along. Tomorrow begins a new phase in this endeavor...the body will be freaking out for sure. Ah, yes, let the head games begin!!

Just an opinion here but it sounds to me like you lack self confidence. I think most here would tell you the same story. A story about how they've lost and regained and lost and regained. That is why we're doing this, right? You have to decide that the BS stops now....and grab the reigns. We are at war with own bodies. It helps if you have a supporter...someone to confide in push you when you need it. The fact that you are doing this means you recognize that you need this tool in order to be successful. Just follow the plan and exercise. The weight will come off and you'll be eating in moderation. WE got this!!

@@chaggard, so glad to hear you are ready...just playing devils advocate. I'm right there with you. I feel the pressure to succeed too. I think we all are putting a lot of hope into our surgeries. It's sounds like you are in the right frame of mind. You are working hard to make new habits. I think we will all have bad days but always remember, we are all here for each other. Best wishes and keep talking...let us know how you are doing!

I got on the scale this morning and am down 2 pounds from yesterday. I still think I'm retaining fluids because my wedding ring is tight and it had been really loose a week ago. I think I'm still being haunted by that cheeseburger fiasco from last weekend. It's that or that unjury chicken broth has too much sodium for me.

I am in good spirits though. Every day that I get closer to this surgery, I get a little more excited. I ran out of my liquid B-12. Anyone do the dissolvable dots? I guess B-12 is B-12.

Stacy was right about developing new habits. Now, without thinking the first thing I do in the morning is mix my shake, grab my Vitamins, Water and coffee. I have to work on the exercise though. I know it's because of my feet hurting but they don't hurt as much as they did in January!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
