My Pre-Op Diet Starts Tomorrow!

Hey Ya'll,

Well, I had my Thanksgiving Dinner, and I have had leftovers for the past 2 days, so tomorrow I start my Pre-Op Diet....It is supposed to be a 4 week diet, but I will only be on it for 3 weeks and 2 days.  I am supposed to lose 10 lbs, but that was based on what I weighed at my initial Surgeon Consult way back on Sept 12th.  I had since then actually gained 8.8 lbs.  So I knew that I needed to actually lose 18.8 lbs to be where Dr Kozar wants me to be at for Surgery.

Well, I weighed myself tonight, and I weighed 223.8.  So if this is the case, then I will only need to lose another 13.8 lbs.  When I did my Pre-Op Diet for my Lap Band Surgery back in 2009, I was supposed to lose 11 lbs.  I was only on the Diet for 2 1/2 weeks then, and I lost 17 lbs.  Luckily (or unluckily) for me, I tend to retain water really bad....Once I begin the Diet, I can easily lose 5-10 lbs in water weight alone!!  So I am fairly sure that I should have no problem losing 14 lbs.

Now!!  Whether I have as easy a time as I did with the Diet for the Lap Band is still to be determined!  I didn't have any trouble with it the first time, and I was absolutely not hungry at all....So this will probably end up being the total opposite!  LOL  So, wish me luck that I don't suffer too much, and that I am able to lose the weight I need to.  Please???
