cryltodd Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I am scheduled for surgery on May 15. I'm suppose to be on my pre-op diet already and find myself not doing so well. Is anyone else having a hard time? I do good all day until evening time than i eat a little bit of what i fix the rest of the family for dinner. How are the rest of you guys doing on your pre-op diets? any suggestions for me? Thanks and wish me luck! Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the rest of you guys doing on your pre-op diets? any suggestions for me? Thanks and wish me luck!Crystal If I am afraid of sneaking bites of the meal I make my husband, I will put a piece of sugar-free gum in my mouth while I cook and before I sit down to eat my meal. It helps me. Also, I have been cooking healthier meals for him so we are on this journey together in a way. Ex: Lean chicken or fish with fresh steamed veggies or small salad. I have "relapsed" a few times on my pre-op diet, but I make sure that it doesn't turn into a weekend-long event. On Thursday night I made pasta with red meat sauce. I had a small bowl after eating a green salad. For the first time in my life, I could not eat the entire serving of pasta. My stomach is use to the smaller portions already! Hope this helps!

wild6 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hi - KimI hear the recovery isn't that bad, Only with me I keep thinking it will be like my c-sections - since that's really the only surgery I've had, And it wasn't that easy... Good luck ladies!! I had the surgery done on March 27, 2009. We stayed at the Marriot and they were GREAT!! I would recommend them highly. Recovery was not bad at all....we had the surgery on a Friday got out that day and then went shopping all day on Saturday. I feel great today and have lost 14 lbs. my first fill will be this Friday. I am excited and a little nervous for it....I am wanting to start losing more weight so I am ready for that. But, I am a little nervous about the restriction and learning what I can and cannot eat. I can't wait to hear the progress you girls will make...I am telling you that you will feel so good about your self. So, once again, GOOD LUCK and have fun down there!! <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wDMf3jI/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wDMf3jI/weight.png"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiney42 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I was told to start my pre op diet on May 10th. But I started yesterday on just cutting back and eating like cottage cheese and fresh fruit for lunch, That type of food... I figure I will go with their full diet on the 10th like they said.... It's not GOING TO BE EASY AT ALL! Hopefully it will stop raining and I could ride my bike a bit everyday. It's been raining since the Thursday here...............

shiney42 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I started Monday Tho last night I woke up out of a dead sleep and grab a FULL size Hershey bar and ATE it by the time I got back to bed. And considering that I gained 1.5 pounds waiting to get to the pre opt diet.... I dropped a total of 3 pounds since MONDAY, but the first 5 pounds are the easiest It's going to be hard! VERY hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost40 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 If you don't mind me asking, Did you change dates cause of Swine Flu? Hello: I had to change my flight because I was banded on April 7th so they wouldn't let me get my first fill until after May 18th...that is the only reason that I changed my flight. I am not concerned at all about the flu issues. Good luck on the Pre-op diet! Maybe I will see you in the waiting room at the OCC on the 20th. I am going with a friend, who is also getting a fill. Our appts. are at 9:30 &10 am. I am so excited to get a fill!!! See ya then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnewLinda Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I will be the first to post my May surgery date!My surgery will be on May 22, 2009 at the OCC. I'm so excited. Hello Robbyn Let me introduce myself, my name is Linda and I live in Poway CA. I'm in the works for a new me. I have finally made the choice after a year or more yo-yoing back in forth as to getting the band. After I seen my brother drop 50 this past 2 to 3 months, I'm in. I'm sure I won’t loss as fast as he has after all men seem to have all the luck in weight loss. I am scheduled on the 22nd of May! I'm so excited and scared to death at the same time. > :lb12: More excited I must say!!! Maybe our paths will cross at the OCC. May our dreams come true, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellCurveBabe Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 So I stepped on the scale this morning and have lost 10 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet. I wasn't an angel but I think I did well. Has anyone else had any luck with their pre-op diet weight loss? I will be leaving on Wednesday night to get to Cali and I'm kinda scared and kinda excited at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellCurveBabe Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Was going in for my pre-ops straight off the plane from Honolulu this morning and they were like, "Wanna just have your surgery today instead of tomorrow?" I firguered might as well. So here I am writing this to you only 3 hours after my surgery. I feel kinda groggy like I wanna sleep (I also flew all night so didn't sleep), there is some incision pain when I lean backwards. There is a gas-type pain in my low abdomen so I am going to take a gas ex strip. They encourage you to be up and moving. I am super groggy :scratch_one-s_head: so I am going to bed.
