So far, so good!

I started my pre-op diet yesterday - I was 233 lbs, and in just one day I am 231.6 - not bad! Makes the being hungry worth it. Of course, it's only my second day...

I have found in just these two days that instead of doing a shake for breakfast and lunch and doing the Lean Cuisine for dinner - I do the Lean Cuisine for lunch. That way I'm not as hungry when dinner comes around because the protein shakes really don't do a darn thing for my hunger.

Hi Misty,

You can doooo ittt! I found the meal in the middle of the day a great help too, also chicken or beef broth for those tough in between times...Conradulations on starting your new life!

You are doing great and WILL do great!! It takes lots of getting used to...but it is well worth it!!

i relied on tons of peas- sugar snap to be exact... Also the atkins shakes worked the best for me, but Trader Joes has an awesome shake with 35 grams of protein and low cal/low sugar and these were AWESOME...but they are $2.35 each...kind spendy...also lots of water or crystal lite helped a bunch...good luck!

Congrats! Keep up the good work!! I do a shake in the a.m., clear liquids, a protein shake at lunch (it's easier at work and I am only on full liquids. . .no solid foods), broth in between times (the warmth really helps) a couple of metamucil caps a day and then soup at night.. I run my soups (mostly creamed) through the blender first to make sure there is no solid particles and then heat it up and sip it. Usually takes me about 20 - 30 minutes to sip it down. I will occasionally have a real milk shake when I am stuck at a restaurant that doesn't serve soup or serves soup but doesn't have a blender. . . What restaurant can make it without a blender???? Well Denny's does not have a blender in their kitchen, so I had to drink a milk shake tonite. . .sigh. . .
