I have all I need, even got a magic bullet (love it). I do have a runny nose, hope this won't b a problem. I've lost 14lbs and can't wait to start my new life. This site has been such an encouragement to me, thanks so much to all of you.

21 grams of protein!!! When u r sick of sweet shakes, it is really amazing. I go in tomorrow so I wanted to be ready. U should order some trial packs.

You guys have given her great advice. I am shocked about what the doctor is allowing her to eat so quickly. I have surgery Thursday and I'm on a two-week liquid diet after surgery and two weeks of mushy foods after that. I also have a minimum amount of protein that I need to get in every day. I was also told to measure your food and only eat one cup. And that food needs to be eaten very slowly within 30 minutes and then you're supposed to stop. The problem is not all doctors have a good support staff for their patients. Do you have a nutritionist that deals with bariatric patients? I also agree about the comment about the water, it being too much. We were told 64 ounces a day, you are drinking double that.

I did! Today I reordered the chicken soup and got a cheese sauce. I can put it in low fat Cream of broccoli soup, warm tomato juice and mashed potatoes during the mushy stage. You can order trial sizes of every flavor to see if you like them. I could not have done the two-week liquid preop diet without the chicken soup. I definitely needed a break from the sweet taste of all the protein shakes. I hope you do well best of luck to you!

Yay! Congrats! Feel better soon.

I'm have surgery thursday, is it unreasonable to be able to do some shopping Sunday or Monday? Will I be too sore?
-
I did great today! Just liquid protein and water. Thank God for Unjury's chicken soup flavor!!! A life saver, if u have yet to get it I strongly suggest it. Thanks for the support, by the way I felt yucky last night.

Ty!!

Thanks for being a sounding board!!

I have lost 13... Just worried wether I can do this or not. I convinced myself it was ok, it wasn't. I can't think that way and be successful! Have to stay focused, think i'm stressed about surgery

So during my last visit to my Dr I asked what I could do before my surgery. He handed me a 2 week liquid preop diet. He normally does not require one. I have been doing so well, but tonight I way overdid!! Feeling guilty!
-
I'm day 4 preop, all liquids and am sooooo tired!! Anyone else find this to be true?? Remedies??
-
I'm day 3, surgery date 12/20. Is anyone tired? I'm sick of sweet shakes, can't wait till my unjury chicken soup gets here!! Best of luck everyone.
-
Glad all went well for u today. How's the preop diet going?
-
I'm day one... Ugh!! 13 to go! I'm hungry, tired, Moody, and all I can think is 13 more days! I may not need surgery, this may b the death of me. I spent $120.00 on different flavors hoping it will help, i'm on my 3 cup of hot tea. I was ok at work, but now that i'm home, not so much. I may have to clean and organize my whole house to stay busy. Best of luck December bandsters!Thanks for all the encouragement! I belong to a private fb group at St. Agnes in Baltimore, but it is for all wls patients. I believe band takes more determination, just my opinion. I realize that with all wls u can gain back the weight by making poor choices. My life will no longer look the same, i'm ready... Still nervous, but ready. Thanks for the stories of Ur journeys, keep them coming!!don't freak out and don't back out!! my mind won't stop running but there's no way I'm not going to do this. For years I have lost weight gained it lost weight and gained it and I'm done failing. we just need support. I'll be happy to talk with you everyday.
