I just got back from Hawaii! 5 Glorious Days. Four planes, no seatbelt extenders, and full use of the tray tables. I went parasailing, which was amazing and life affirming. So blessed to be on this trip in the first place, but so grateful for this life changing journey.

Sleevinpops, I think so too. I at least haven't had any of the side effects others have had. But I also know the journey has just started

I started the liquid diet today. So far I'm doing really well. I had a premiere protein shake(caramel) I added 1 scoop of genepro and topped it off with some coffee. That took me up until a little after 10 a.m. I started at 8:30 a.m. I'm not hungry but I have some Gatorade2 lime that I've been sipping on. I have some jello for lunch. I'm not supposed to start the diet until next Wednesday on the 22nd. However, I want to start early so that I can get the most out of my sleeve. Surgery is on March 1st.

Trying to get rid of this belly and heard green tea helps??

Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

I initially was completely pro sleeve, but I am considering bypass due to potential GERD.

It can all be very confusing!! Are you still trying to lose weight or are you at maintenance? I think that will make a huge difference. You are right that it's hard to find options that are both low in carbs and fats. Sometimes we have to create our own recipes. I saw one recently that looks really good, that might help you with your taco craving. I saw where someone took cheddar cheese and spread it out on parchment paper. They put it in the microwave and melted it. Then they laid the melted cheese on the paper, over an upside down bowl. The cheese hardened and formed like a bowl. After it hardens, fill the "cheese bowl" with all the ingredients used for a taco. I'll see if I can find the recipe and attach it.

Sooo happy for your happiness. This is what it's about, take the good with the bad and keep it moving!!! Learn along the way, some people are so depressing it will drive you CRAZY. Now I understand why some require the psych examine. Way to go on your weight loss and I pray your 97lbs is a success. Congratulations

I am in the EXACT same boat. I'm 5 days post op too. I'm so hungry. Not my stomach hurting or anything, just these liquids. Oh. My. Gosh. I don't ever want to see broth or Jello ever again in my life. I'm so excited that Monday I can have pudding LOL. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
