With my surgery date of April 11, I am officially in the middle of day 2 of the liquid diet. I have two weeks for this... And am feeling like I may kill someone before then. I am so hungry, and apparently everyone in my home feels like they need to eat real food. So prepping meals that I won't be able to eat is awful. Thankfully my husband is taking care of most of this stuff. When does the starving feeling go away?!?

Other than this damned JP drain I have hanging out of my body, I'm feeling pretty good. Haven't used any pain meds in the last 2 days, and the soreness feels like some muscle overuse at this point. I go to my first follow up with the surgeon tomorrow morning and hopefully this drain will be removed. It seems to be not draining as much anymore anyway.

Glad you are feeling better Amber. Take it one day at a time. I'm sure everyday you will feel better. Look at all us April 11th people...we are one week out already!!! That week went by pretty quickly. Hopefully the weight is going just as quickly!

How are all you ladies doing?!?!

I'm doing pretty good! 35 lbs down, but stuck in a stall right now. How are you doing?

Same! That's so funny 35 down since surgery but I'm stalled glad I'm not alone there it's frustrating a little.

45 down but am stalled for the past week or so. Is everyone getting their Protein and liquids? What's everyone eating? Getting tired of the same stuff lol

I don't think I'm getting my Protein I eat everything that has protein. I keep a bag of beef Jerky on my car and diaper bag in case I get into a situation. I haven't had much bread.

Im definitely not getting my Protein but am always trying lol I can't eat jerky yet because it upsets my tummy. A lot of lunch meat, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Im so over it though lol

@@Hayleyhehe There's so much you can eat for variety. Grill some chicken breasts and make a chicken salad or cut up and have it with peppers & onions or mushrooms and have with cheese & sour cream like fajitas minus the tortilla. Try black beans with cheese, tuna salad, string cheese, ground beef or turkey patty with mushrooms and avocado, etc. I prepare meals on Sunday so I'm ready for the week (breakfast & lunch anyway). There are some great recipes on Pinterest too.

This stall needs to end already!!!

Try including at least one Protein shake a day; doesn't have to be just a plain Protein Drink either. Mix in some frozen fruit, some PB2, perhaps some spinach or kale! You can get lots of protein with steamed/grilled fish, shellfish, tuna, tuna steaks (Ahi), chicken, ground beef, pulled pork, etc. Luckily I love meat (definite carnivore) so it doesn't take much for me to eat the protein first over anything else. I do love veggies though too. I have eaten a bit of macaroni (less than a tablespoon) and I did eat half a biscuit with sausage gravy today (special occasion). Typically I do not eat carbs on a regular basis.

Yes. I've been eating all the Protein I seriously feel guilty if I don't! It's ok to treat yourself once in a while. I haven't had many carbs either. In my head it's like mental how bad for me they are.

Hey Ladies! It's funny to see the stall period... I too was stalled at 35 lbs!!! This week FINALLY started to see the # go down again... I'm at 38 now.... Creeping up on 40!!!! I have been walking but I think upping my walk game has helped. food is such a strange thing to me now.... I never noticed how much food everyone eats on the regular. It grosses me out. LoL my biggest complaint is that I have thrown up quite a few times after eating. But I can identify my issues with eating too fast! Keep up the good work everyone!!!! I want to see pictures!!

Ambernicole, I've eaten low carb for so many years now that we don't even keep bread, potatoes, rice, Pasta in the house! If my husband wants it we buy a little for him, and I find an alternative to it. But, you are right, once in a while it is nice to treat yourself. Fortunately with the size stomach I have now, I cannot overindulge because I do not like vomiting! So, a few bites and I'm done. I also do use a few crackers in a brothy Soup too. Sometimes you just need some substance!

Ashlie, how funny that we all stalled at 35 lbs! I'm hoping today to weigh myself and see at least a couple pounds gone. I worked really hard outside this past weekend and hoping it made a difference.

Yay! Yay! Yay! I just weighed myself and the stall has broken!!! Down 3 more lbs. 2 more lbs and I'll hit 40 lbs lost since Pre-Op Diet began back on March 28!!!!

Just had to do a snoopy dance somewhere other than the office!

I've been doing a lot of swimming I have twins that are 5 and a 1 year old. So I try to keep them busy outside I think that helped break my stall I got on the scale and it was down 4.5 pounds.
