Liliana Arleen

You are beautiful Ms Diva

Liliana you must be a great cook! I can't make asopao either! I follow recipes really well but I let the hispanic foods to my mom and sister in law.
I'm Dominican American.

So I am officially 1 month post op and I will take pictures each month and compare them. You can't tell there is much difference but I lost 33 lbs so far and I am feeling great!! 54 lbs more to go.

You CAN do it =) I am going to the gym now too =)

I am 3 weeks post op and I been stuck in the same weight 187-188 for a week now. I know is still early but I was losing weight fast before when I was on the liquid diet Now that I started my mushies, I am not losing weight at all Is this normal? I am having my Protein Shakes daily and eating my Protein first before I try any mashed potatoes or something else. I can eat 2-3 tsp at once for each meal.
I am not having Snacks Just my Protein shakes as snacks and Water. I started going to the gym and just walking in the treadmill for now, I am taking it easy since I am only 3 weeks out. What I can do? I am getting frustrated and I am trying my best not to weight myself daily.
PS I know many people asked these questions but I needed to vent

Zumba is awesome. I did it before surgery. Is a lot of movement too. I am having a hard time sipping slowly with my liquids lol

Ok so I really need to VENT all this out. Today is my 11 day post and I am feeling terrible,emotionally and physically. I am so tired of this liquid diet . My surgeon's plan is 2 weeks pre op of full liquids diet,the day prior surgery I was on Clear Liquids and post surgery 2 weeks more of full liquids and after my 2 week check which is this December 9, I can start my purees. I am not drinking enough fluids I am doing horrible with my Protein and my Water. I tried but I get tired of drinking the same stuff over and over. I am trying different Protein Shakes to see if that helps but I get tired of them easily. I am feeling weak with no energy . I get really sad because this whole liquid diet makes me sick. I want to try something in puree but I need to wait till my 2 weeks check. I know is very important to follow my surgeon's instruction because I don't want to be back in the hospital due to an infection in my staple line or whatever. But I am seriously really tired of having broths ,jello etc I tried to make them in different ways,bought them. I been VERY strong on cooking for my husband and 2 year old regular foods and not even thinking of try the regular food. I KNOW this is all in my head. I really NEED some support and help now. I am scared I won't do good with my sleeve :frown5: :frown5: :frown5: :frown2:

My surgery was yesterday and my surgeon said everything went great. Now today I'm starting my liquids slowly . I'm having chest pain especially when I drink and stomach cramps , is this normal? My Dr checked my heart and said is ok .Could this be related to gas? Any tips on drinking the first time ? Everytime I drink feels horrible, my belly hurts and my chest does this gets better ?

Well my lucky day is tomorrow,wish me luck guys, this website has been so helpful. I thank everybody for all the info. I am extremely nervous and scared. I just hope everything goes well. I don't know yet what time exactly , I have to call in about 2 hours and find out but for sure will be in the morning. I am looking forward to live a happy and healthy life.The main reason I am doing this is because of that and of course I have to LIVE for my 2 year daughter :smile1: I will take any prayers and well wishes now :smile1: Thanks!!!!

As much as I been tempted ,I haven't cheat one single ay of my diet, I know my surgeon told me that he won't perform my surgery if he opens me and see that I did not follow the pre op liquid diet. He will send me home. So I really need this surgery to improve my health and I am sticking with my pre op diet . I don't know how strict is your surgeon.

I need friends,pals anyone who is getting this surgery in November or December :smile1: Feel free to add me as a friend and here
