Aww thanks Crystal! I have been reading all your posts as they are very inspiring!! I hope I have as good success as yourself!!!

Today has been my first day on my diet before my pre op diet, so far so good (maybe due to me going to dentist and my mouth being numb for half of it lol)

So far no diet coke which I'm trying to reduce then stop, and shake for breakfast and cup of homemade carrot and orange soup.

Tonight I'm thinking salad and chicken!

Well day 1 normal diet went surprisingly well! I was a little jealous of my dad eating wine guns but the hunger was definitely kept at bay, think due to the extra water I took today which isn't usual for me as I tend stay with the diet coke!

1 diet coke and for dinner it was steak and salad with vinegarette light dressing! Delish!!!

Total Cals today 756...85g of protein..?? Worried that wasn't enough Cals, but was satisfied??

Hope everyone's Monday goes well and hope rest week is as easy as today!!!

Xxx

wd hunni fantastic start your positive thinking will certainly help LOL at the wine gums bless him LOL bring on the pre op diet now hun and your on your way x x x

 

[cupid1964]

Very good that you are drinking more water....this was one of my harder lessons...and sounds like this week is going to be a scorcher.
Hope you have a good day tomorrow too.

Thanks ladies!!

It's meant to be warm up here but still bit if rain!

I'm gonna call to check when the dietician appointment will be, got my pre op date for 11th but as a slow loser, want to get organised for the diet for pre op!

The last few diets been on I refused to weigh myself as thought it was demotivating if didn't lose, but think it's critical now, I have set of scales, but was wondering if easier just going to a Boots etc as they tend to be more accurate? X

Hi everyone!

Today is day 3 for my diet, so far so good, I felt a little hungry midday...however my tummy wasn't growling...so I'm thinking it may been more habit than anything...had some more water and was fine!

Had some lovely chicken and peppers for lunch today and enjoyed it so much I could ate more..again I think habit and I resisted as felt satisfied!

I would say, maybe due to increases water and less carbs but I'm needing to wee all the time!!?

Hope everyone is half way though week happy it's nearing the weekend! Xx

I'm off till next Wednesday which is great but also worried as I'm prone to eat more as think about it, so need to keep busy to stay ontrack!!! Xxx

 

[cupid1964]

You are doing fantastic Hun....mindful and that's a big thing. Omg the dash for a wee thing makes me giggle and if I want to go out for the day it's hopeless so now I make a flipping map in my head as to where I want to go, where I need to, and how far the loos are lol!! Not to self do less shopping

Lol I thought it was just me!!!

Less shopping wouldn't be as fun!!! Or you need to move to online shopping xxx

I'm barred from buying any clothes until after my op, as I have YoYo with my weight I have clothes of varying sizes which should hopefully keep me going till Christmas!!!

 

[sharon2014]

Well I decided to torture myself and weigh myself early and I'm down to 286lbs! I know the majority of it will be water but it's nice to see the scales go the opposite direction!!!

Making diet worth it...obviously when I told my dad he said, see you can do it yourself!? Ugh they don't understand lol!! Told him to be quiet and I need surgery for long term success!! Xx

Thanks Cupid! Yeah it's a great loss I just don't want to get too confident! I know it will drop and as long as it keeps going down il be happy!!

I was laughing at my dad as he has friend who was in at Nuffield getting an OP this week and I had to listen to a blow by blow account of this via my dad...so the trip advisor report for the hospital was a glowing one and I should be fine, I asked if he was gonna visit me and said what you barely be in there and put ur Pajamas on before your leaving! But I know he will be in and be on phone checking up as will my mum lol xx
