I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

So excited to see that everyone is getting pumped and ready for this lifetime adventure! Me and my sister are doing this together . She is already 12 days Post-op and doing well and back at work. She's lost 21 pounds so far. I'm excited to see what we all do!

July 7 and I cannot wait. I am so excited. I am on full liquid as of yesterday but just realized I didn't need to start it until tomorrow. Doh! I have been doing a modified for the last two weeks...two shakes, yogurt snack and high protein meal.

Had a last weigh in with the nut today and am so happy I am down a total of 30lbs from my highest weight and I am hoping for another 7lbs before surgery date.

Ok, be honest....has anyone cheated even a little on the pre-op? It is day 5 and I even had a great day......BUT, I got home and next thing you know, I had 2 potato chips with dip and a meatball! I am annoyed with myself. I have 5 more days to go and I KNOW 4th of July will be hard. Sigh.

@@Twinmom07 I was having headaches so bad I had me a coffee with a stevia and my head feels so much better.

I'm scheduled for July 13th. Just started the 2 week liquid diet. I can have protien shakes and pureed soup with protien powder added. I don't really like canned or box soups so I'm thinking of making homemade vegetable soup and sticking it in the Ninja.

Has anyone else made homemade soup for their liquid diet? Any good ideas?

I did really good on day 1and 2 but i have to admit I cheated.... I am so disappointed in my self I want to cry. I will try really hard tomorrow. I have to NOT cook for husband until I'm done with this liquid diet. Plus, I'm not used to having headaches. I ate a piece of a plain baked chicken breast and the headache instantly went away.

@@pamnduck don't be so hard on yourself just start over again tomorrow I just finished day 2 out of 14 and I started with some little headache too.... It will get better you'll see.... Good luck

Thank you! Katerbug1 I appreciate your encouragement, good luck to you. What date are you scheduled?

Don't beat your self up, it happens. I have 4 days left and I've stuffed up a couple of times just my habit. When making food for my siblings and I taste it to make sure it's cooked enough, and then I realise 'oh shit'. Can't really do much after you've swallowed it. As long as your making the effort and don't just ride the whole day off from a little slip up you'll be fine I reckon. What date if your surgery??

Try to select protein if you have to cheat. You need to avoid carbs - as your body will come out of ketosis and you don't want that to happen (you'll be back at day 1). Be sure to have things on your diet handy at all times. It's very difficult but you can do it!
