Hi there!!!!!! Wondering how you are doing. The weight loss really shows in your pic!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!! Had my 6 month check-up today. Everything AOK!!! Blood work tomorrow. Drop me a line when you get time. Take care and will be in touch!!!!!

That is wonderful that you Have already lost 22 pounds. Keep up the good work. Things may seem rough at times and you may see times that the scale does not move. Don't let that concern you. It happens to just about everyone. Even if the scale doesn't show loss...you may still lose inches. Please email me anytime @ panurse15801@yahoo.com. I am not sure if this message thing works that great or not.

You are doing awesome! I too have a love hate with my scale love it more then I hate it most days. Being a mom makes this hard I know I have 4 of them. But make sure you rest and get those fluids in.

Thanks for the friends add. How are you feeling? Hope everything went well.

I found your messages, yay!!! I'm sure you've probably read my responses. Let me know how things went. Talk to you soon.

Good luck with your surgery. I'll try to find you. They probably won't tell me which room you are in so I will give them permission to tell you which room I'm in. Hope to see you in a little bit. We're leaving in a few minutes. Take care and I will say a prayer for you!!!

Well, tomorrow is it!!! I have to be at the hospital at 8:30 and surgery is scheduled for 10:30. Hope you are doing ok. Will try and find ya in the hospital after surgery!! Or you can look me up!! Take care!!!!!

Hello there!! Well, day three is almost done. Sometimes I just want to cry cause of this dang diet, but I will make it (I keep telling myself this..lol). At least after the surgery I know I can't eat, so it won't be so bad, but right now, I could eat if I wanted to and I wouldn't get sick or anything. Do you know what I mean? lol I ordered some sample protein stuff online. I heard about it here by reading a lot of the posts and it is called Nectar Sweets Chocolate Truffle Whey Protein, 100 calories, 23g protein. If you go to Google and put in the name, it will bring it up for you. It's supposed to be pretty good. Not gritty or anything. The samples I ordered are from a site called Vitalady.com. They cost $1.99 per sample. I hope they get here soon. I was told by mid next week. I hope they're good. We'll see. Well, gonna scoot for now. Will let ya know my surgery time in two days!!!!! Take care.

Ha. This is funny. I was just thinking about you and logged in to send you the same email!!! This diet sucks. I started yesterday. It's hard when I'm cooking food for the family and I can't eat any of it. I wanted to let you know that I found a protein shake at Rite Aid today. It's called Gram Slam. It has 50grams of protein in it. They had it buy one get one half off. It was actually good. It has like 240 calories in it though. So I drank half for breakfast and half for lunch because the serving size is one bottle. So I got 120 calories and 25grams of protein with each meal today!!!!! My boyfriend bought me some Myoplex Lite protein shakes. There are only 170 calories per serving and 20 grams of protein per serving. I think I will go with this for now and post op. I was reading my post op diet book and they recommend that the shakes are only 100-180 calories. I'm just trying to preplan my diet and menu through all the stages of this progressive diet.

Hi, just wondering how you are doing with the liquid diet? It is really hard!!! I miss food. lol I'm sure after the surgery that it won't be as bad. Still have 3 days to go on this diet, but I will make it!!!!! I will send you a message on Thursday after I find out my surgery time. Hope you are doing well. Talk later.
