Hi I'm a Dec 18 sleever. I'm day three of my pre op fast. I need to lose 5 by the 12th to get the clearance from my nutritionist. I have hope.

Good luck. What is your meal plan to lose that . What are your thoughts? We all had them it's so normal. 4 months post so glad I did it.

Hi! Welcome! Instead of "trying not to think negative thoughts", what if you "tried thinking positive thoughts"? That's a subtle difference that could make all the difference. Good luck! You are not alone!

If you haven't done this already, wean yourself from caffeine and carbonated beverages now. After I gave up my 6 diet coke a day habit, I suffered from a week of severe withdrawal syndrome consisting of severe headaches and body aches. I was miserable. You don't want to combine the effects of caffeine withdrawal with the effects of surgery. By making this change alone, I dropped 20 pounds pre-op.

Meal plan three shakes a day . And all the sugar free jelly and pipscal I want...

Great! Now you tell me! Should have done it. I'm having surgery on 12/11. Am on my Dr's required 72 clear liquids only (NO protein) fast and have a wicked caffeine headache along with being generally grumpy and hungry.

But I (and all of us!!!!) will persevere.

Good luck to everyone!
