So far so good with pre-op diet

So I am starting week 4 of my 6 months pro-op diet and have found some protein powders & bars I really like and have been doing good with having a healthy dinner and no carbs. I have lost 5 lbs - so happy.
I hope everyone has a great week!!!

Great job!!!

That's great, Daisy!  The more you can use the 6 month diet to be prepared for the surgery, the better.  It helps so much.  Just keep going but don't be too hard on yourself. There will be times when you might not make the right choices but just keep going! I let my life get in the way right at the end of my 6 months and ended up stopping the whole surgery process and gaining back any weight I lost during that time. I finally got back on the wagon last year and got my surgery but I wish I had kept going and not let life get in the way.

Keep in touch with us here and let us know how it's going!

Thanks KittyKarin!!! I am hoping to keep positive and make good choices!!

Great start!!!  Losing weight during the year before my surgery was the best thing I did for myself - I motivated myself by telling myself that every pound I lost, I was reducing my chance of complications (I was terrified of surgery so that's what worked for me). 

Just take baby steps and start making good life style changes and your hard work will pay off. 

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!!

your doing great I just had my 5th month meeting with the nut and am in a stall but she was happy anyway she says it happens to everyone

 just keep tracking you food on myfitnesspal and exercise and you will do great

it gets easier as you get used to your eating plan

 

Thank you so much for your support!!!

Great job! Keep it up! The more you can lose now, the easier your surgery and recovery will be. :)

Congrats! That's great! I agree with the other posters, losing as much as possible before surgery is a good idea. At least I know it's helping me get into the right mindset and making me feel overall much better. Good luck to you!
