Zigzag

Started my liquid diet yesterday using "bariatric advantage"

That is the same product that was given to me to use for my week or so of liquid diet. On the other hand, I was not told I could have any sugar free Jello or any crystal light. What I was told was to buy some flavoring at a place like Whole Foods and add it to my shakes so that I'm not stuck with one flavor for an entire week.

Hi ZigZag, Thinking of you! Glad to see you join in! I was glad I started chatting before my surgery. Everyone here is here to encourage each other.

Yeah I figured if this community was going to be one I would be sharing time, struggles, ideas, motivation, perceptions, and many other thoughts and emotions with, it would be a good idea to grab a head start.

Thus far, I'm really enjoying the positive and accepting attitude in here. Glad to have become part of this.

July 20th for me! So anxious and excited!!

I start my liquid only diet on the 11th, but I'm trying my very best to start cutting back on anything unhealthy already. I will actually be having my favorite meal tomorrow for the last time, and I will enjoy the typical July 4th stuff, then on the 5th, I will start myself on a pre-liquid diet diet.

As you can tell, I'm anxious and excited.

By the way, good move on emptying your shelves and all that. It's something I will be doing as well. Just going to keep healthy things.

Good luck!

Good Luck to everyone getting surgery today!

Paying $10,300 for the cost of surgery including pre-op and post-op for 90 days and the first fill in Miami, Florida.

My surgery is the 20th of July. They only gave me a 10 day liquid diet. I'm sure it will be tough, but remember that 30 days is nothing in exchange for a better rest of your life. Good Luck!!

Hey guys, I am scheduled for surgery for July 20th. I am very excited. Not yet nervous, but I am sure I will be.

Hope all your procedures go well, and keep us updated.
