I went to the group meeting today

at MMPC, the dietision came in then the exercise guy ..then the pc , thay answered all my questions..I picked out my food for the next 2 weeks ...I start it tommaro ...am just so worried ...it dont look like much food .. am so afraid am going to be starving ...isnt that crazy ...as much as I want this surgery I shouldn't be worried about that !!! I quess am just so afraid of failing !!...but the thing is I no I can not !! I need to lose 15 pounds before surgery..so now am panicking ...so afraid I will fail !but so happy am so close to surgery .... Sherry

The food you picked out...are they meals provided by the clinic?? Or a suggested menu? I recommend that between meals you get plenty of fluids to help you feel satisfied. I believe you can do it!! Congrats and good luck!!

yes you buy the food from mmpc , you have to have there food . 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery . Sherry

Sherry I thought I would starve on that food but it is so full of protein that I actually had to work to get all the points in. I did lose 12 pounds on that food but I was never hungry. I hope this helps.

thanks Ann, I think I will be okay, I started the food yesterday and your right it was not that bad ..and I wasn't to hungry... Sherry

Sherry...You will have plenty to eat and drink from that selection of foods and drinks....You can also have sugar free popsicles and jello and puddings if you are still hungry...Be sure to drink plenty of water to keep you hydrayted. You will find that you have lost weight on this...It the start of your new life getting healthy!!!! Congrats to you!!!! Hugs Judy

your right judy , I did pertty good yesterday Sherry

Don't worry Sherry if you stick to the diet they give you and get in your 10 pts a day and drink lots of water you will lose the weight, I have dropped close to 30 lbs on it. I have been amazed that it does fill me up. The more weight you lose before hand the easier it is for the surgeon to get around in there. You will do OK it won't be long now. Alan

thanks Alan , I did good yesterday ..am proud of myself ..lol and I only had 9 pts .. yesterday .is that okay ? or do you have to have 10 pts . I bet you already feel better losing that 30 pounds , your doing great . hugs Sherry

That is good. They really want you to try and get in the 10 pts., but I know I haven't got them all in a couple of days. I don't know if it is the weight or the quiting smoking but yeah I do feel better. Keep up the good work. Alan
