jarvis Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 I can't believe it! I lost 5 pounds pre-op, and got on the scale today and lost 4 pounds since yesterday??? The best thing is needing to move my weight loss ticker!!! A total of 12 pounds in 11 days. Yesterday I was thinking I can't drink anymore yogurt, I am so ready for food. However, my weight has given me the kick I needed to embrace another 10 days of liquids.....I CAN do it!!! Cindy

jhawkchick75 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 Congrats! I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. Keep up the great work!
louisem Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 Congrats! I am in the same boat. I lost 6 pounds preop and now on day 8 I am down another 8! The soups aren't too bad, but thank goodness for lattes!
determination Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 Merry Christmas Louise and Cindy, Like you, I have lost 6lbs since surgery! Yeah. It really does help motivate me also. I was able to get through today just because I knew that that would mean more pounds lost. Are either one of you drinking more than 1/2 cup of soup per meal? I have been having 1/2 cup of yogurt for breakfast, 1/2 cup of soup for lunch, and either 8oz. of protein drink or 1/2 cup of soup again. Besides drinking a lot of liquids. I am not sure if this is the correct amounts I should be having or if there is a standard. I am also taking the liquid vitamins and Biotin. Please let me know what is on your menu. I did measure with my food scale today to see what exactly 3oz of meat amounted to. Boy was I excited! We can do this!!!!
