Be a little careful of shopping in bulk...cause sometimes your tastes will change after surgery. Things you used to love, you'll suddenly hate and vice versa. Case in point....there was a chicken broth that I absolutely loved pre-surg.....afterward I couldn't gag it down...tasted like a sweaty chicken armpit. Gave away a dozen cans. Had a similar experience with orange jello and a strawberry premier protein. Bleh!

I'm honestly baffled by this. You ate a small portion of food, that in total probably had 300 calories in it. You are more than two months out and this doesn't sound like it represents any kind of overeating. Just because you are eating healthier doesn't mean that you are limited to only eating healthy things for the rest of your life. The goal is moderation which it sounds like you are doing, don't try to convince yourself that you did anything wrong or that you "cheated." You ate what you wanted and did it in a way that conformed to your weight loss goals, so congrats.

Thank you, I was wondering about this as well!

Please be up and moving. Blood clots and dehydration are the number 1 risk and potential fatal risks after surgery. You should be walking around at least 10 min every 1-2 hours to avoid a blood clot. They are no joke.

I am on 3 premier protein ready made shakes per day ( 160 cal, 30g protein, 1g sugar, 5 carbs ) and I have 1 sugar free jello and 1 sugar free popsicle each day. I can have some vegetables, such as cucumbers, lettuce, etc as well as low sodium broth. I do not have issues with my liver, it was more of a goal my surgeon set for the 2 weeks prior to surgery to be safer. I am just going to continue with the plan and trust the process. less than a week away, so getting excited and anxious... Thank you for your comments and suggestions - I sincerely appreciate it .

I've just moved house so now I finally have a costco near me! Yay! Didn't know they did them. ☺ I will definitely check it out (when I've finished unpacking) x

Thank you so much!!!! It's inspiring to hear from someone who has been through this. I'm short and starting at 220 which is a 44 bmi for my height. I'm nervous but excited and you made this a lot more reassuring. My husband and I joke that food will be a lot cheaper as I can pick off his plate then.

Hey everyone, my surgery is not until January!!!! But I am curious to know how my fellow January sleevers are doing. What are your experiences? What kind of surprises are in store? What things did or did not happen as you expected? How much weight have you lost thus far? Note: I'm only 5'0 so I would also love to hear how weight loss is for us shorties!!!

Hi @Frustr8! I'm not sure I fully understand some of your concerns here and am hoping you may be able to help clarify for me. 1) What do you mean you are given no 'credit' for number of previous postings? Are you referring to the item in the original app that showed the number of posts when you clicked on your name? 2) I've gone through the original app and am unsure of where you saw your ranking (eg: Guru In Training)? I can't find it listed anywhere in the original app, though it's possible I'm simply missing it. 3) When you say you have no followers nor are you following anything - I can verify that you don't have any followers and as for the "following" I believe you're referring to "Following" that's listed on your profile in the new app, in which case you are correct - you are not following any members. 4) "What gives with that bar that gives super sized emoji" - I think you're referring to the ability to react to posts. The one that shows a Heart (like), a Trophy (thanks), a Laughing emoji (Haha), a Confused emoji (confused) and a Sad Emoji (sad)? If so - these are reactions, which replace the more basic "Like" or don't like functionality of the older app. You can still "Like" the content, by selecting the heart, but you can also utilize one of the other reactions I mentioned if they seem more aligned with your feeling toward the post. P.S. Thank you VERY VERY much for providing feedback.
