Not quite haven't managed to stick to it again. I have 10 days from tomorrow to do it right but kicking myself. I just feel like 3 slimfast shakes is ridiculous when I read what other people can have. My diet isn't for just me personally it's just what my surgeon suggests. My BMI is 31.9 but that's me just making excuses for myself, story of my life x

It is hard. I have tried the slimfast in the past but that was with a low carb meal in evening and that was hard. I think this helps me when I want to cave...when I was at my pre op assessment,I was talking to a lady who had a bypass a year before and she was saying that when she had her surgery another lady in her ward woke up from surgery and they didnt do the procedure coz her liver hadnt shrunk enough and she confessed that she hadnt stuck to it. That scared me shitless lol.

I'm on Day 7 of my 14 days of the liquid diet. I want to take a huge bite of bread or something with some flavor but I haven't. I've stuck to my 3 Protein shakes a day, sf Jello and broth. I got tired of chicken broth so started beef broth. Drinking lots of Water and Decaf iced tea. I'm halfway there and my surgery is schedule for January 31.

Hi MLT

I know what you mean about bread. I had to go to bed lol as suddenly had the urge for a slice of toast. Was even imagining just having a nibble of the corner of a slice. But still awake thinking about bloody toast!! Dont want to break. Wont break. Keep motivated by thinking of the future. Good luck with your surgery on 31st x

I have been really snappy and only been on this for 3 days. I will try not to cheat on this again it's just so difficult being surrounded by people eating x

We refer to that in our household as hangry (hungry angry). Hope you survived another day :-)

I will say this, the pre-op diet is not fun but it's a necessary evil to embrace. Just imagine going from either filet mignon and lobster can go off and sugar-free Jell-O. So I'll see you stick to it now these are the transition will be after surgery it's all well worth it.

Today was a good day. How was your day? Keep reading that the lower your bmi the easier the pre op diet should be but my surgeon gas the same diet plans regardless of weight. Only problem I have is tomorrow I am going to a lovely hotel for the day/night with my BF that was booked for my Christmas x

Glad you had a good day. Am starting to crave something to bite...toast or biscuit but have'nt cracked yet. The end is in sight so don't want to risk it. Really can't believe this time next week will be at the hospital. Just need to get through the weekend which is when I would usually have treats. Fingers crossed. Good luck with your hotel break. Have a lovely time though but not too lovely (foodwise lol) xx

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
