chicken broth, teas, Protein supplements like Isopure, Unjury. People say Popsicles but I didn't like cold things afterwards. Warm socks for the hospital. My feet were freezing. I loved still do my sugar free cough drops. Good luck

I am all for the Keys. I live in Washington state so it would be a long travel but I think the activities are just too perfect for the new healthy me. AND to have someone volunteer to arrange EVERYTHING it doesn't get any easier. All I have to do is get my ticket and pay. I'm in!

I went to Dr. Aceves in November. My bmi was 35 so I had no pre op diet. At the time I did quit smoking a month in a half before surgery on my own doing. So I am not sure what his requirements are. They are wonderful people there. I would just call or email and ask. Good luck.

Lol too funny. Any way back to the bread. I personally try and stay away only because I am still losing and I lose WAY faster this way. However that being said I had pita bread last night. When I eat bread I have to take the smallest bite (quarter size) and chew like crazy, swallow. Then wait like 3-5 minutes no joke for my next bite. So last night I had 3 bites in 20 minutes. When it is all said and done it is hardly worth it for me. Now I eat all my food slow or I will throw it up. Bread is super rediculously slow. If you are craving it maybe try using a dipping sauce like ranch or something. I know it's not healthy but come-on it's not like you will have more than a few bites. Good luck.
My weakness it chocolate. I will eat 5-6 mini Reese until I and sick on the couch in the fetal positions. I am new and still learning and sometimes the cravings win.

Welcome! This was/is my life saver. There are some great people on here, and the best part is they have all gone through the same thing. Good luck on your journey ahead.

You will do great. I was just there November 25. Be prepared for a long drive to the hospital. 2+ hours other than that and the not eating today. It was super easy. You are in good hands.

Have you tryed the low Carb (30 or less) diet. I stalled for about 3 weeks got angry and started low carbing it on Monday. It totally worked. My stall broke and I am down 2.5 lbs since Monday. That is awesome for me. It is worth a shot. Good luck.

Not to start anything BUT I have to totally disagree. I know for me I would not have been attracted to me a few months back and it would not be a weight thing. Pre surgery I had zero self confidence. I was depressed. I didn't take care of myself, always Waring big oversized sweatshirts and sweats. No pep in my step. Not caring what or how much I put in my body. Did I mention depressed. I felt like a failure. And now......
I have lost 30 lbs still have 50 to go but just the fact that I am losing I am soooo happy. I am no longer depressed. I don't feel like a failure any more. I have my pep back. I am taking care of myself again, fitting jeans & shirts, makeup. I feel better about me and that alone makes me hotter. IMO So I might be shallow but I find it hard to be attracted to someone who is not taking care of themselves. I really hope I don't upset anyone with this. That is not my intention. I just wanted to put another view out there.

I am only 2 months out and my favorite drink is vodka and cranberry juice. Wine is ok too just depends on the acid reflux. I get drunk just by looking at a drink now after surgery. It also only takes about a half hour to hour and I am sober again. I can't do beer or soda. I have tried and it is still way to much carbonation for me. I would try a drink at home first. Good luck and congratulations on the Hubby coming home. Have fun.

Right there with you. The first month was hick ups now second month is runny nose. After my nose starts running 1 more bite and I think I might be sick. I think it is funny how are body tells us "Your Full" STOP I kinda like it for now.

Awesome job you look great. Keep up the good work.

Just try and get your Protein in & fluids of course. My doctor said if I wasn't hungry don't eat. So if you skip and meal I am sure it is ok. You can try puddings I made mine with extra scoops of Protein Powder. Good luck.

weird question

I just lied and said we were going on a vacation. Just a low key getaway. When you don't say much on the matter it seems people stop asking. I only took a week off so it really wasn't a big deal.
