I really want to try whole food option one day. I am just waiting for a day when I am certain that I am not going to stuff myself with more than I should. I know this day will come. I am planning to have shakes tomorrow but I have no idea what I am going to feel like in the morning.

You dont have to try the whole food option if you dont feel like it. You are doing great on the options you have tried so far! :)
 
DAY 03 - SHAKES

DAY 04 - SHAKES
WEIGTH: 128.7

So far I haven't managed to have any routine. As a result portion control didn't exist either. So my task for today is to establish some sort of a pattern and stick to eat. I think meal replacement option isperfectr for it, as there's nothing else allowed apart from 5 shakes (so no snacking). Drinks are OK though, hich is good.
7.45 --- fybogel

8:00
- Coffee Latte shake (hot)
It was OK. still hate this artificial sweetener taste.

10:00
- water with mint and lime
I was supposed to have a drink (tea or coffee) at 9:30 - 10:00 but got cought up in lots of other things. By 10am I felt a bit nauseous and even a thought of a "heavy" drink made me feel sick. Instead I went for homemade lemonade (sparkling water with a couple of slices of lime) but at the end decided that it's time to wean myself off sparling drinks altogether and made my lemonde with still water.

11:00 (actual time 11:20)
- strawberry shake

12:00
- water with mint and lime

13:00
- banana shake

15:00
- Skinny Latte

16:00 (16:35)
- banana shake



18:30
- chocolate shake
18:50 --- fybogel

Water - 500+300+300+500+500+

Oh, I DO feel like it :p The problem is that when the food is nice I can't stop eating (I have an eating disorder). I have to face it though. I need to start training myself to control how much I eat. Having shakes and yogurts is easier because I don't have to think about food, make menues, cook... It's cheating in a way. It does the job (shrinking liver, losing weight) but it doesn't teach one how to eat properly. You are doing great sticking to it.

Well maybe its not the best time to train yourself then :) especially when you will reach the last 7 days Just incase you dont stop.. Because you are doing so great atm! You dont want to undo all your great work which you did already. :)


on the other hand how do you think you will stop after surgery? Do you have some action plan for that? Or are you hoping to rely just on your smaller stomach/pouch (cant remember if its rny or sleeve you are planing to have) to stop you in physical way (pain, throwing up, ect.)? Maybe you have learnt some techniques from specialists or yourself how to do it? Maybe we could all learn from you?

It just shows how everyone is different!! I for example was thinking completely opposite! I i knew i will not last two weeks on just shakes or milk/milk+yogurt. I knew i would be too weak in a way and would bite into something! (Even if it would have been some cucumber but still..although you never know! I might have been fine). Where with the food option i am eating. Cant say its very different from what i was eating already.. Just A LOT less ;) dinners might be a bit more altered atm to suit the diet. I dont feel like i am missing out too. We still have breakfast and dinner together with my husband. And if i were just on milk.. I probably would want to go for a walk and not watch him eat :) :)

Cant wait to read how you are doing today with all those shakes!! ;)
 
Well done so far. I'm on the end of Day 7 on diet, halfway there, surgery next Friday. It is so hard and I'm hungry but doing it, which is the main thing. I had the following:

Breakfast
Glass of milk with reduced sugar strawberry crusha

Lunch
Minestrone Slim-a-Soup, strained
Yoghurt

Dinner
Tomato and Vegetable Cup-a-Soup, strained

Milky coffee

It's not a lot and it's surprised me how my body has coped. I thought my Diabetes would make it horrendous but changed my meds round and doing okay. Just feels weird not being able to chew anything.
 
How are you doing on your diet?? :) have not updated us for ages! ;)

I am sure you are doing amazing! :)
 
Ah i got worried!!! :) thank you for a short update! :) hope you can sleep a bit ;) good luck for tomorrow!!!! ;) have a speedy recovery!! Hope you'll be the first on the list (or at least the one in the morning) so you wont need to wait all day long ;) fingers crossed everything goes smooth!!

What time was your op, Llora? How many operations do they do in one day?

I think it was 4 people in total (3 the least). I was meant to be the first on the list, but ended up second. I walked out of my room to go to the theater around 10:20. Then i had to wait in the room next door to the theaters for about 10 min before i was taken to the theater. And the first time i looked into the clock (and can remember) at the recovery room was 12:10. (If my memory is correct) ;) and about 13:15 i was brought back to the ward into the lovely room no.505 :)

Hi all. Sorry, I have disappeared. It's been very hectic 2 weeks. I am doing great dietwise: no slip ups. I've lost more than 7 kilos in just 2 weeks (around a stone). Emotinally I am in turmoil. Well, it has been going great but then I made a few wrong descisions... I think I'd better write about it in detail later. Now I am off to bed. Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!

Good luck for today x

I was the 3rd on the list. They didn't call me until 1:30:cry: Luckily though, I was asleep (couldn't sleep the night before). I have no idea what time they finished. I could only find enough energy to call my family around 8pm.
I was in room 405 by the way ;)
 
Since I am feeling better now, I thought I would finish writing about my pre-op diet. Though it's not a complete account of what happenned I still believe it might help me to better understand myself (especially when there were some revelations).

Well,
DAY 4 - SLIMFAST SHAKES
That was by far THE WORST day of the whole 2 week saga. Towards the end of the day I was feeling hungry, upset and most of all angry with myself fro choosing this option. I could have predicted that. Choosing a pudding as your main (and only) meal for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks was a rediculous idea! Even though I sort of liked the taste of shakes I was dying to something savoury. Slimfast as a pudding is fine, but as a main meal... NEVER AGAIN!!!

Ah at least you were able to snooze so the waiting should have not been too bad :)

Did you meet anyone else who was having weight loss surgery?
