Started Pre-Op Diet Today - The Count Down Is On Baby!

I started my pre-op diet today...... and only 10 more days until I'm banded!! MediFast is pretty darn good.... (I say that NOW) hehehe

Yeah, Shell!  You rock that MediFast girl and time will fly by.  Can't wait to read that it is finally time and you are home from being banded and on your way to better health. Molly

Thanks Molly!!  ONE down.... Nine to go..... LOL Gosh congrats on your progress.... you are just THREE POUNDS from goal....that is OUTSTANDING!!

OK...I HEAR it gets better after like day 2-4 of the pre-op diet?????? I hope so, cuz I've got HUNGER!! LOL  Nothing I can't deal with....but dang..... I'm hungry!  I get shake #3 in an hour.... :)

Hi Shell, You know I was lucky in that my doctor doesn't do a pre op diet unless there are some other underlying issues that require it.  He feels that if you could lose weight in the first place you wouldn't be coming in for wls and I have to say I agree.   I feel for ya tho, cause even tho I didn't diet perse prior to the surgery I sure did do those liquids for 6 weeks.  Good Lord, I didn't know 6 weeks could be so long.  I just tried to keep my mind busy so I wouldn't think about food and eating any more than I could help.  You will lose weight tho and it all adds up so you're just going to be that much closer to your goal. Hang in there, my thoughts are with you. Debbie

Thanks Debbie... the only reason he is having me lose the 10 pounds is to shrink the liver...it makes it safer.....they have to lift it to get to where they need to be during the surgery.  So, with that being said... I have no problem doing it to make it safer! :) I'm sure it will get easier.... {{{crossing fingers}}} Shake #4 in 20 mins!! WWoohhooo :)

I bet your getting really excited at this point, 7 more days and a wake and you are there.  Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Yes.... I'm SO excited!!  I weighed myself this morning..... I'm sure is it mostly water and lack of solid foods..... but hey..... I'll take it!! I need to lose 2.5 more in the next 7 days......NO PROBLEM!! :)  The more I lose, the less there is to my goal...... :-)

Can someone please pull me off the ceiling?????? 3 down.... just one week away!!!!!

Shell, bet your really on the ceiling now.  It's only one day and a wake before your surgery.  Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as your approaches.  Wishing you the best of luck.  I look forward to hearing of your journey and can't wait to meet you on the loosers bench.  Take care and keep us posted on your progress.
