I am on the pre diet for just and have lost 7 lbs. already. I am struggling, tho, to get the exercise in. I must do better. I found it really confusing to remember when to take my regular meds, when to take the Vitamins, etc . I made out timetable for each day in 2 hour incremebts and entered what I should be having in foods, liquids, meds, vitamins, and it is helping me a lot stay on track.

:) This will truly be the start of a new life. What better Christmas gift? :) God bless!

I lost 11 pounds on the preop diet. Tomorrow is the big day.

Tomorrow is the day but I am nervous. I lost 9 lbs on the pre op diet and I did OK holding to what I was allowed to eat pretty much, but lousy at the liquids and at exercise.

I don't want to fail at this but I realize I must have more self discipline. Anyone else out there feeling the same as me?

Well tomrrow is it the 21st of December. I have lost 10lbs since starting this liquid diet 4 days ago. I am looking so foward to tomorrow I can't stand it.

I am scheduled for surgery December 21st. I a have been on the pre-op diet for 7 days but I screwed up a wee bit yesterday. I didn't go nuts but I did get a taste but no sugar. I am scared but going to do it anyway. I just cannot stay like this any more. I want to look not the fattest person in the room.

Yes. Had a really hard time sticking to the liquid diet. For the most part I did. But self discipline is the key. I remind myself that I can control what I put in my mouth. When I do that I can walk away most times and not look back. Hope that helps.

Hi I am in South Africa, gallbladder removal and sleeve on the 21st December 2015. Good Luck, I am lying in the bed now waiting for the operation. It will all be over by this time tomorrow. May the Lord bless us and keep us all safe xxx

Tomorrow (the 22nd) is my big day too! I'm super excited, but apparently more nervous than I'll admit to...I've been dropping everything I pick up today!

Looking forward to a new beginning and a healthier year next year. Let's all keep each other on track and Celebrate our successes together!

Good luck to all of us!

I'm on for tomorrow also. I just want it to be over with!!!

Yesterday was my big day too! How is everyone holding up? I had a rough first night, lots of nausea and vomiting, but much better today!
