Starting to feel great on day 6 of my pre-op diet. I haven't cheated and have stuck to everything I wanted to !! It does get easier !! I have lost 5 lbs almost a pound a day !! How is everyone else doing on thier pre-op diet ? Also check me out on YouTube Jewlo1324 and Subscribe to my videos !! I"m making WLS Videos to track my progress !!

Okay, its New Year's Eve, and who's excited???
Only 12 days to go, we should make up a song called the 12 days of WLS...
I know I am counting down the days...whoooohooo!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, I KNOW ITS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE!

I am thinking that I need to do something, but I am wondering if they didn't suggest anything because I am having lap RNY ??  I have been doing the slim fast thing, but it seems to bother my stomach, but it does work.  But it just seems that everyone I hear about is doing some type of liquid diet.  Are you already?  It seems like time is just getting closer and closer.  I can't wait for it to be here.  I just keep reading all the information the doctor gave me, making sure I understand whats going on  and what i need to do after.  I went out and got my flintstones vitamins, B12 sublingual, Biotin, Zinc, Vit C and Calcium Citrate chewables, along with the Carnation Instant Breakfast sugar free(really hard to find), a bunch of broth, and I finally found the Containers of Ocean Spray Sugar Free drink mix in Cranberry Apple and a few others in walmart.  As far as current meds I am really not on anything, I have been able to control my Pre-Diabeties with diet and exercise and even my lipids I keep down as best as I can. Hopefully once I have surgery all of this will remain down.  I think I have finally decided that people do not need to know what I am doing, its my business and I really need to take an inventory of my life.  My husband and I are now living in the Adirondack mountains with all the cold and snow, we moved here after living in Florida (we moved back because of the schools in Florida - we had decided we didnt want our daughter of 8 weeks at that time to do to Florida schools)  and way, I want to return to the the sunshine state badly, so that could also be in my near future.  We lived in Wellington, west of west palm beach.  If I had my way we will be back down there by the late spring time, just in time for hurricane season.  Anyway,  good luck and I hope to hear from you soon with great results.

Hi Janet,
Congrats on your date, and welcome to the Jan. forum! Time will fly by now- start getting your protein powders and vitamins ready, and stock up on your allowed foods for the first few weeks. After that it will be a matter of waiting and anticipation! My surgery is on 1/6 and I think I'm all ready, except I want to get a few more pair of loose sweatpants to wear around the house the first few weeks. Good Luck!

After 2 almost 3 months of tests appts and finally approval I have a date Jan 28!!Make room on the losers bench for me!!
