Hi all-

Just wondering if anyones used any of these and what kind would be the best before jump starting another diet. I was sleeved a litte over a year ago and havent lost anything in about 6 months so wanna jump start my body.

Any info would be great.

Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone has used these to help kick start a stall? I'm 7 months out and i've lost 5lbs in about a 2 month period... sooo sad. Maybe there's a healthy pill out there to help?

**Four months** geeze i cant type today.

So I'm 3 months out, will be for months on Nov 27th and my hair was always really thin and fine to begin with, now that im loosing it all, I'm starting to freak. I take my Vitamins every day, I've been also taking Biotin, using an intensive repair Shampoo and conditioner and also using a heat protectent (sp?) when i decide to blow dry or curl my hair. Its starting to get worse and worse. I'm considering getting the jessica simpson clip in human hair extensions to just add some volume and give it some "OMPH" But was just curious to see what anyone else has done and/or tried them before? Any advice would be awesome.

i must be a slow loser too becuase im 2 months out and have only lost 30lbs altogether... :/

I think this is an AWESOME idea!

Thanks for info, and to clarify, i wasnt planning on downing a bottle, i just meant a few sips here and there- nothing crazy. I'm normally not a big drinker but sometimes just taking a nice hot bubble bath and having a small glass sounds amazing. Just to help relax a bit.

So just wondering why its so long to have a drink. I've been drying for just a small glass of wine. Work has been super stressful, well let me rephase that- LIFE has been super stressful. UGH. Any help would be great!

Hi guys! Have any of you stalled at this early on? I had my surgery a little over 3 weeks ago, and I havent lost anything in a week! I just started my pureed stage on wednesday and im fluctuating with just a pound. Its driving me nuts! Any advice would be awesome!

I was cleared to start phase 2 liquid which includes mashed potatoes and cottage cheese on day 5-14... I start the pureed stage on Tuesday... But i also get those spasm pain things they come.. and go and then come back a few minutes later its like "whoa maybe i shouldnt have ate that?" then it goes away and i feel fine. Weird. Well i hope it gets better and congrats!

Thanks so much! I think thats what it is after doing some research. I've lost like 5lbs in 5 days... and i've been having a funny taste in my mouth too. Hm. When does it go away?

I'm on day 5 today.

I started my full liquid diet (phase 2) so i can have sf pudding, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes that are really thinned, milk based Protein drinks etc..

I went to the bathroom today and noticed my tongue was white with a residue? I brushed my teeth and it didnt go away- then tried mouthwash, and scraping it with paper towel LMAO but it still there.... Anyone know what this is or whats causing it? I havent been meeting my Protein goal and when i talked to my dr. he said it was normal the first few days. sooooo IDK.

Just got sleeved on Wednesday, my tummy is making lots of gurgles. I'm trying to get my fluids in and eat some Jello but its not going away... Any suggestions?

I'm having mine tmrw at 11:15... I too am freaking out thinking if im making the right decision... Thanks for your post. I'm glad im not the only one! I'm sure we will be fine tho! One day at a time!

So tomarrow is the big day... Getting really nervous

Was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to expect afterwards and any tips to a speedy recovery?

Wowowowwow! Thats awesome! That just made me feel like im making the RIGHT decision... Been so up and down lately and scared about it... but i WILL do this and it WILL get better! Thanks for sharing!!!

I am doing the same and get tired and a headache too, maybe the body is detoxing itself?

I am having surgery on next Wed. Looking forward to getting this behind me!

Mine is also Wednesday! Just a few more days!

Wow!! Quite a few of us on the 27th!! YAY!!

My Dr. only requires a liquid diet for the day before, but I put myself on one on Tues. I did allow myself to eat dinner with my husband at our favorite restaraunt last night, and I was MISERABLE!! Ugh, it was AWFUL!! The food was amazing, but I am DEFINITELY not going to miss that "I'm so stuffed I can't move, and feel like I'm gonna throw up" feeling!!! Even still crappy today from it!! No more for me!!

smacbeth, I see you're in Sterling Heights!! I'm in Adrian (not that you'd know where that is!! haahha!!), and having my surgery at Barix in Ypsi. Are you having yours up in your area???

I actually do know where that is! lol and I'm having mine at St John Oakland Hospital in Madison Heights, MI by Dr. Katz. Starting to get really nervous but the nursing staff has been awesome and this website is great. So glad I've joined.

So I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and i've had a horriable headache since yesterday. I'm a type 2 diabetic and not taking meds so I guess I was wondering if anyone else has/having/had this problem before? I'm not taking meds bc im not eating as much, and i wouldnt want to bottom out.

Could it be b/c of my sugars getting too low from not eating then too high with the protien shakes/soups/oatmeal crap? And what should i do? Can i even take any pain meds? lol

Thanks!

Yay! Mines wed 27th too. Sooo nervous! Started my liquid diet yesterday!

Hello all,

Just wondering if Slim Fast was something that was okay to drink/use after surgery. Not right after surgery but maybe a few weeks out? If not, what are other "good" premade shakes that are some-what affordable that you would recommend?

Thanks!

I'm planning on taking 5 days off, I'm having surgery on a wednesday, and plan on going back monday or tuesday depending on how i feel. I had my gallbladder taken out last year, if the procedure is pretty similar it should be fine. I also work at a bank- but i work in default servicing doing loan modifications and short sales, so i also sit at a desk all day Hope this helps.

i am too! 29 days and counting!

Not sure if i should post this here or on post- up but i was just wondering what do you bring with you to the hospital? Is it similar to what you pack in your labor bag since you'll be there at LEAST one night overnight?? lol i hate those stupid hospital gowns, id rather wear my comfy sweat pants and a t-shirt and feel better.

good question! i was wondering about this myself this morning... hmm!?
