Surgery date 9/9
I am so excited, anxious and scared. All at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!
Pre op diet isnt bad, its the liver shrinking diet for 2 weeks prior which is coming up fast, actually been working myself into it for a week and a half and have lost 7 lbs. I am off caffeine, withdrawal done, no sodas in 3 weeks, no sweets in 3 weeks........
I was having trouble with my sugar dropping so Surgery center ok'd adding back some extra things to diet as long on approved lis.t
hoping to go strictly by the diet without sugar drops starting tomorrow.
Time is flying so fast i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!
What was your weight loss like say the first 3 months after surgery. I know my body is oging to change radically and quickly, that is the part i am having trouble getting my mind around.

Hi Renee!
Being a little ahead of you in line for surgery, I was on a 3 week diet prior to the living shrinking diet. The three week diet was just no soft drinks, low fat, high protein. I lost 12.5 lbs on that. I've been on the liver shrinking diet now (another 3 weeks) for about 10 days. I've lost another 8lbs on that. I am struggling with my blood sugar as well. I feel very dizy. I have started having a couple bites of fruit or some peanut butter (only a smidge) to get through the day. I don't thnk my liver is going to balloon with that..LOL.
Time really is going fast. Before you know it--we'll be on the other side! We are (roughly) the same weight....it will be interesting to see how we do individually. Keep me posted!
By the way, I found a GREAT protein flavor this week. Nectar (individual serving packets)..in Roadside Lemonade. It is STELLAR!
GOOD LUCK!

Renee,
To me, the pre-op diet was the hardest because you still have the same size stomach, and since I was only allowed to have liquids, I was hungry all the time! So just know, if you're doing so well with the pre-op stuff, you'll do very well after surgery! Congrats on your decision to change your life!!
