GREAT JOB!!!!!! The south bech diet breakfast bars are also high in protein and filling. Jennie

Congrats Jennifer-- keep up the good work! It's funny reading these boards how different the various requirements are at different hospitals and surgeons, isnt it? Barix did not require me to lose any weight preop but encouraged it, and said if I used it as an excuse to go out and eat everything I wanted and gained a ton of weight they would cancel the surgery. I actually had surgery 6 lbs heavier than my preop visit 3 mos earlier. And my only preop diet was clear liquids for 24 hours before surgery. I find reading others experiences very interesting. Good luck to you and all our NH members! Valerie Z.

Way to go Jennifer! You are over half way there. I had to lose 15 lbs before my surgery could be scheduled and it was the hardest 15 lbs I'd ever lost in my life! You're doing a great job. Keep it up! - Stephanie

Excellent job!! We all know that it isn't easy. Keep up the good work.

Way to go, Jennifer. Each pound lost is a reward for your hard work and willpower. Congratulations! Anne
