Best of luck! I will send prayers your way!!

I have 11 more days til WLS and am failing miserable.   My post op diet guidelines were:   "no or low carb not to exceed 30g per day."   Tuesday was the first day and I tried to wing it without writing anything down during the day and when I saw what I thought was healthy at the end of the day I was at 100g of carbs.   (The previous 3 months I have been on a Low Carb per Nut of 165 Carbs / day).   So . . . .  Wednesday I had a class from 10a to 3p and ate a breakfast with 9g carbs, not bad.   Took a protein shake, lots of water & snacks that consisted of celery w/ 1T of peanut butter & an apple.   Felt very hungry after class so came home and had 4 oz of lean ham with a piece of LF cheese.   Still not too bad . . . . but then it was a fast dinner nite and that's where I hit too many carbs with rice & chicken stir fry.   

Ugghhhhhh!!  So last nite I sat down after the kids were in bed and planned my meals for today.   I still haven't figured out dinner but Breakfast, Lunch & 3pm snack total up to 19g carb.  

Any suggestions from those that had to feed / cook for a family and still maintain our diet restrictions?   I am the chief cook & bottle washer in our family and am scared to death that I am not going to be able to do this.   Any suggestions?   

Thank you in advance for your suggestions & recommendations.   I am still coming to the Losers Bench so don't give my spot away (hehehe).

I'll add u on my list. I am having lap band done on the 20th. Good luck with your surgery!!!

I am also OCt. 26th.  I am currently going through the 14 day diet.  I am so excited and am counting down the days.  Only 11 more days in counting. 

I am currently keeping busy with trying to tie up lose ends at work and make sure everything is done that is needed to done while I am out on leave.  It makes the time go by faster. 

can you believe that we will soon be our new selves.  Healthier and Happier.

Hi. I have the same surgery date! This is the first time I've posted, so I don't really know what I'm doing!  Just looking for some other patients to chat with in order to keep my mind occupied while I wait these last few days. Hope you are as excited as I am! Blessings!
