Consult weight 310

current weight from doing WW for 8 months 261 (gained 6 when stopped smoking 267)

todays weight 257 is a little bit of the light at the end of the tunnel and helping keep me from straying

How much have you lost on the pre-op diet so far?  I am day 3 in as well, and yesterday was terrible.  Today would be just as bad, however I woke up to a huge loss (broke my stall finally) and it has helped me through the hunger.  You are lucky you get a salad!  I have 3 opti fast shakes a day and a gallon of water.  Can you use the sugar free drops in your water?  That helps me.  And my husband made some ice pops out of it for me to have as a treat.  That helps too.

Im now on my 5th day, down about 12 pounds the rapid weightloss is Im sure whats keeping me going and not derailing but i wi**** would take away the hunger   I can have crystal light in my water it helps. We can do this! Thats a great idea about making ice pops, im going to have to make a batch. I do make slushies with the protein shakes and eat with a spoon its like my own little treat

I am having my shake as a true frozen shake tonight, and when you do the ice pops he said the key is to use the drops and make it strong.  If it is the normal strength its just like frozen flavored water.  They are so helpful!

This is my 4th day, and it was a lot easier then the first 2 days. I think I am going a little crazy because I cannot have my wine that I like. Also my energy level is down too. I have not weighted myself to see if I lost any weight. I am sure that it will get easier as the days go by!!! Good luck to you, we can do this =)

Im feeling very drained as well and last night i felt like i dont think i can drink another shake ever  we can do this! Good luck to you as well!
