I had surgery Jan 7 and I am down 15 lbs, but the surgeon told me any loss is awesome.  I think it also depends on what type of surgery you had and how much weight you need to lose.  Congrats on the 12 lbs, thats fantastic..KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK.

Hey girl,
Congrats on the 12 lbs lost.  I will weigh in Wed for my two weeks and I am guessing I will be right there with you.

I needed to see this post today. I have been feeling a bit down today when I stepped on the scale. I am down 10 pounds since the 8th. I know I am being irrational and crazy thinking I need to lose more than that in 11 days. I just thought I would be one of those who lost 20 by now.

Greetings kcb, I too am a 1955er! 

While you didn't ask the question of me, I thought I might be able to help a little.   I read your posting and your liquid diet is basically the same one I had to do.  I think the reason why the choices is for CIB, Slim Fast or Boost  vs. hot chocolate is the vitamin & fat content.  I was limited to 3 Slim Fasts and just clear liquids for a week prior to surgery.   

Suggestions for getting warmer beverages, I found drinking Chamomile or Orange Spice herbal teas were pretty satisfying and helped to keep me hyrdrated.  It is really helpful to get in as may liquids as you can as it will be easier for your anesthesiologist & nurses to help you getting blood or starting IV's.

I sure do wish you and everyone who is waiting for surgery the best and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.

Hugs and good thoughts,

Barb

Kathleen,

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.  I am sure you will do great, you've planned and worked hard for this. I'll be scooting on over to give you a spot on the losers bench.  I hope you will keep in touch and let me know how you're doing.

Hugs,
Barb
