 I just stepped off the scale post BM, morning urination, naked before my shower. exactly 1 week to the hour since my surgery, 19.2 total weight loss! in one week! 

WOW is all I can say!

That wasnt as easy as it seems. But I managed. I did lose 19# pre op. The only suggestion I can make to people is to start earlier than when your MD says. Do a test run, one full day on the diet, eating normally the next day. Then starting when you get a surgery date (esp if your surgery date is less than a month out) go to 3 shakes a day and one standard meal (or even huge). That got me to pace myself during my workday so it didnt seem as hard.

when you actually start the diet, break the day up into 3 stages. Make it your goal to hit each stage. Setting daily goals, even if its "i gotta make it to 4pm" then at 4 pm, take a shake, then setting a 7pm goal, it works wonders, or at least did for me."
