 I had:

Breakfast:  AchievOne
Lunch: Bag of Popcorn (Granddaughters Volleyball Tournament)   NOT SO GOOD
Snack:  Atkins Shake
Dinner:  Tuna and Unsalted Crackers (6)

Planning SF Jello about 8:PM

I've had 5 16 oz glasses of water and SF Ocean Spray Cranberry Drink.   (IT IS REALLY GOOD!)


My sugars are good and I have lost about 13 pounds since I first weighed in at the Dr's.   It has been slow because of my not being able to stick to it.  I think I have turned the corner!  I am trying so hard. 

How is everyone else doing. 

Don't have to be just Feb. 9Th to participate.  Any time in Feb will be just fine.

Hi Kathy,
I'm having surgery at Duke on 2/9.  Are you already on a pre op diet?  I had Chinese, popcorn and soda @ movie and brownie w/ice cream.  Should I be doing something I dont know about?  You are doing fantastic.  Keep me posted.  Take Care, PRDURHAM

I don't start my actual pre-op diet until Jan. 26th.   I am diabetic and I am trying to keep  my sugar under control so that there will be no problems with having the surgery.   In addition, I am just trying to get some additional weight off prior to surgery.  I've been told that it helps to get the liver as small as possible prior to surgery to avoid any problems during surgery.


I was having major problems with being hungry.  I think because I was having the "last supper" syndrom.

Good luck with your surgery!

Nice Job Cathy, keep it up!

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

I've been mostly sticking to 2 Lean Cuisines or SmartOnes, a healthy cereal for breakfast, and a snack or 2 a day. I'm completely off pop now!! In the last week, I'm down 2.5lbs!

I know what you mean about POP.  Diet Coke is my addiction   I am trying so hard to put them down, but I keep thinking I can have just ONE MORE before surgery. 

I know I have to give them up!   They are going to think I am addicted to crack when I get to that hospital!  I have got to get this behind me before then.   I have never had an addiction this strong!  Not even giving up smoking 20 years ago was this hard. 

I am beginning to think they really do put something in it.

The pop was really hard but I wanted it well gone before surgery.... I'm going to have enough changes to deal with at that point..LOL... I don't want to add caffeine withdrawl to it as well! It's been hard but I've started carrying around the Crystal Light or KoolAid SF singles to add to bottled water..... I've finally found a flavour of Crystal Light that I actually like.
I quit smoking 5 1/2 years ago and I found it one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I think it'll help me with the addiction withdrawls after surgery. And I'm really hoping my transfer addiction ends up being exercise or being obsessive about food measuring or something...LOL

Hello Ladies

This is what is on my meal menu for today

Breakfast I had 2 fried eggs at 90 cals each
3 mini pitas and they go for 110 cals for 4 wich would give me 83 cals
with mustart 0 cals
o don't I forget that table spoon of bacel oil at 1 table if that for 40 cals
With a total of  303 cals

For lunch I am having

wendys chili large which is 330 cal

For sup i will have a lean cousin or a smart one

The worst time for me is at night. I am a muncher in the evenings, its been so hard. I love my food and now its become my worst enemy sorta speak. Its my habbit of snaking... If i can kick smoking I know i can do this. But this is much deeper then a cigerett. I am a emotional eater as well. I have started keeping a journal and tracking why and what i was feeling on a daily basis. In the evenings i find myself in my room to avoid and brake the habbit of the kitchen, by avoiding enterning it.... so i dont walk by and shove something in my mouth... Its working, but its hard. I stepped on the scale this morning and I jumped down dramatically.... I started my weight loss journey weighing in at my last doctors appoitement at 462 pounds i am now 445 as of this am! I am in denial as i type! I have trashed the pop as well however i enjoy the random spirite zero. My coffee has went from 5+ to 1 or 2 and wow i have get headaches, i would imagine from the caffine.... I have not had one piece of chocolate nor have i had one chip places in my mouth. I am proud of myself and determined.... however its hard, and frustrating
