ElaineC Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I took a friend to a doc appt this morning and decided to hop on the scale to check my progress on my pre-op diet. Dr. Miranda had said I needed to lose 17.5 pounds before my surgery. I was pleased to discover that I am down 20.5 pounds!!!! I still have 17 days until I am banded...so I am going to see how low I can go before the surgery. Dr. Miranda is pleased with my progress so far and thinks it shows a commitment. YAY! My problem never really has been losing...it is not gaining the pounds back and have them bring friends. Yo-Yo dieting has been my life. It is time for a change! Anyone else having success on the Pre-op diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrty835 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Yes please do, Because I'm stuck and I still need to loose 9 lbs by the 10th. And I can use all the help I can get, I dont want them to cancel me. Today I started the 3 shakes a day till I have my surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcwife Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 That's awesome, Elaine...I am on pre-op diet right now and I leave for TJ tomorrow and have lost 9 of the 15 or so lbs I needed to lose and I'm nervous but I think as long as I didn't gain right??? **sigh** We'll just have to see. AF is here and I think she's making me retain water!! Congrats!! Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElaineC Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Sorry..I really don't have any secret. For breakfast and lunch I have either a shake (either glucerna butter pecan or a choc one with 30 grams protein thatI got at costco.) For supper, I have been having a lean cuisine.my faves are the fettichini ones or the 3 meat pizza and I admit to adding a bit of parmesan cheese to garnish and add flavor so I don't feel cheated. Other than that..I don't eat. I really have not been hungry. If I think I am hungry I have a glass of water and see if that solves it. So far it has.

Dontondan Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Way to Go! Let Dr. Miranda know about how well you are doing. She let me add Subway to my pre-op because I lost pretty fast. That was my treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElaineC Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I AM 7 POUNDS UNDER WHAT DR. MIRANDA WANTED ME TO BE!!!!!!! I forgot to add one other thing I am doing. I have joined TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) It is a support group and the one I joined has about half of the members having had surgery, but I will be the only bandster. The cost is much less than weight watchers at only $24 a year to the organization and then $5 a month chapter dues. I was shocked at the meeting tonight when it showed I lost 7 1/2 pounds last week. I am down 24.5 pounds!!! The group of ladies there is WONDERFUL and so suppoprtive. It keeps me honest and motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
