Lots of good posts here. "Keep your eyes on the prize" Thats what I am doing. This preop diet is the hardest part, no restriction assistance. You all got this! You all will be on the other side of surgery soon enough. Keep fighting th good fight.

11 more days until my surgery! Very exciting! Going through all of the before/after pics on this site helps to keep me in check. Day 4 of the optifast shakes. 4 a day totalling 900 calories with a 2 cup allowance a day of green veggies. The first day was torturous but it has gotten better for me. Also helps that I have lost 25 lbs so far... 15 were from transitioning before the shakes. Cut out all of the sugar and breads and what i call Carbage. Can't wait!

I'm also pre-op dieting and (again) fell off the wagon recently. It's that time of the month and sometimes it's more difficult than not to deny the pizza (yes pizza is the BEST food on the planet) and chocolate but I know I must get it together and for my health. I have my second NUT visit on the 25th of this week and things do not look good.
I wake up sometimes and think I may not be the type to be lean or skinny or even healthy I can't seem to get it together at ALL. My NUT eating plan is at about 1500 calories and there I have a protein drink a protein bar a sensible meal and 3 snacks. I have gained weight and I am miserable. Plus it seems like everywhere it's incredibly hot and heat does not go well with fat ladies!
Hi There, I am having my surgery tomorrow. I have been on pre-op for 12 days. So far I have lost 12 lbs. You should find the time will pass by quickly. Just keep yourself occupied take a walk, smell some flowers, really take time for yourself. Use this time to do some inner thinking and praise. You will feel better soon!
