I decided to do the two week pre op diet a full two weeks before my final surgeons appointment to lose weight and have that recorded for the insurance people. I then maintained that diet all the way up to my surgery date. Well over a month and I lost approximately 42lbs just by doing that. Protein Shakes 3x a day with lots of Water, a small cottage cheese in the morning, small v8 in the afternoon. Plus either some lean Protein and a veg, for dinner around 7pm.

I was craving all the junk foods that I used to eat everyday ! But if you concentrate hard on it and keep something around to drink at all times I found it much easier to handle.

Good Luck !!

Anthony

I started by replacing one meal a day (usually breakfast) with a Protein Drink and tracking my eating on the Fitnesspal app. Also, ask your doctor or nutritionist recommend something! You don't have to do this alone.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
