Hi- I'm new and am on the two week pre-op diet. I am in dupage county IL and am happy to be here.

Congratulations on your decision! I pray God's blessing on you as you go through the surgery and recovery. The recovery is a bit hard, but it's worth it! Keep us posted as to how it goes.

Hi-

I am doing good. I started my mushies over the weekend. I haven't lost since then but the nutrionist said that was to be expected. I was not on any pre-op diet b/c my doctor didn't require it. I am only down 10 lbs but it is good. I am trying really hard it is just very hard to find stuff low in calories and fat to eat in this stage. I will make it though and I will loose the weight. You seem to be doing great. Congratulations on the 30lbs. I can't go back to my doctor until next Thursday the 20th b/c he is out on vacation. But hopefully I will be down 5 more lbs by then. We will just have to see.
