I have a month before I start the pre-op diet. I have been trying to eat healthier so it won't be so hard. I have made some changes but they have not been enough for me. I had a visit with the NUT yesterday and gained 4 pounds. I told her I am worried about the per-op diet and whether or not I can stick to it. She didn't seemed worried but I am terrified. I can't diet! I try! I am overwhelmed for sure!!

I'm 3 days from surgery and stuck at 7 pounds down! I have 2 days to drop 3 pounds and I'm in panic mode! If I don't hit the 10lb weight loss by my last pre-op appointment Tuesday I won't be seeing the losers bench anytime soon ????

Gonna up my walking to twice a day and maybe cut out one of the New Direction meals...

Fingers crossed!!!

You can do it!!! I had only dropped 4lbs during the first 9 Days of the pre-op.. I weighed myself yesterday and I've lost 10 lbs since day one of pre-op diet.

You got this!!

Are you doing all liquids no real food or soups? I did sugar free jello pudding n protein shakes only and dropped 10lbs in 7 days. You got this

I'm afraid of the same thing. I've been doing little changes leading up to it. I have to do 2wks of liquid only right over thanksgiving! And thanksgiving is at my house. Ugh, leftovers! I'm going to do my damndest to stick to it as best as I can. I don't want to be told no

I'm on all liquid products ..soups and shakes or they're puddings no solids, the first 7 pounds came off really quick but I've stalled on a 800 calorie diet so I'm not sure what's going on. I struggled those first 4-5 days but now the supplements so satisfy me so I'm not sure what's going on...

Gonna increase my exercise and hopefully it helps, I've come to far and got too close to not get this last step down ????

Thanks!! I'm sure gonna do my best to knock these out without extreme measures lol...

Thinking of reaching out to my NU so she can help me or advise me of something I'm doing wrong

Try eating a little something every 3 to 4 hrs. I like stuff already portioned out, like Carb master yogurt. Also, measure out your water for the day. You can do it and you'll feel more in control when pre op starts. Good luck on your journey!

How's everyone doing?? I can't believe it's actually getting easier each day! I thought the 4 days of clear liquid would be harder than the previous... But it's been way easier! I appreciate all the advice and encouragement!! Good luck and blessings to all those getting sleeved this week! 2 more sleeps for me! Extremely excited and nervous.... Anyone else having crazy dreams??

2 more sleeps, so exciting!!

Best wishes for a fast recovery.

I was exactly where u are. Worryung literally until surgery day about my weight. I had to go to some extremes to lose like 3 lbs!

Thank You So much Susan66!!!

Good luck to all of you have surgery today!!!

I'm 3 days from surgery and stuck at 7 pounds down! I have 2 days to drop 3 pounds and I'm in panic mode! If I don't hit the 10lb weight loss by my last pre-op appointment Tuesday I won't be seeing the losers bench anytime soon ????

Fingers crossed!!!

You can do this! Watch your sodium levels (especially in soups), as it can make you retain Water. Drink lots of water to help flush out your system.

If you are still cutting it close on the day of your weigh in, eat light, and watch your Fluid intake, just as a temporary measure. If you can't strip down to weigh in, wear as light of clothes as you can (no jeans or heavy sweatshirts, etc). Make sure to go to the bathroom before you weigh in, and try to get your appointment as early in the morning as possible.

Good luck!!!

They currently have me on 2 soups and 2 shakes with their product so I'll go with 1 Soup and 2 shakes today...I checked the sodium amount in them out of curiosity and boy they are packed with it!! Going to concentrate more on water today and maybe do a salad instead so I can cut the sodium all together

Well guys...I survived!!! Last NU appointment went well and I'll be on my way to the losers bench tomorrow morning! I was so stressed I was less than a pound away from the 10lb weight loss requirement but I was approved and I'm in my way!!!!

Thanks for the help & support guys!!

Yeah mommy2015!!! Congrats!! Woohoo!!!
