Today is day 4 of my liquid diet. It is not half as bad as what I though it was going to be. 4-5 shakes a day , a few popsicles, chicken broth and tons of water keeps me full. I seriously thought i was going to crack by now. Still have to pack for monday and take some before photos. ( havent had a picture taken of me in years)

I actually dropped the class last night. 36 hours of homework in one week for all my classes and with surgery coming up I had to cut one thing out. I am going to be taking it next semester. my classes are 8 weeks long so they are very intense.

Thanks you guys for all your help :-)

So you think weight loss surgery vs. traditional diet/exercise

his infection rate..

I would not take it the night before surgery... you will up poopin all night. I only drank a 1/2 bottle and have been in the bathroom all day

I am havinf to write a report this semester on something I care about. Since i am going to be having surgery in a few days, i might as well write about this. I need to find somethig about bariatric surgery that is argumentative. So I was thinking how only some insurance companies pay for it and other will not . or another topic I though of id ... will the benefits of WLS outweight the risks ? Help me out

Today is my Mag citrate day, fun fun fun !!!!

no just Protein Drinks and clears only !! no pudding or tomato soup

Is there anyone else out there that is required to take mag citrate before having your sleeve done? let me know. I was told to take at least a 1/2 bottle a few dyas before surgery. (i am working the day before surgery) I just dont understand why since they are not re-routing my tubes. Thanks

I have so much homework between now and surgey I will be happy if I have the time to shave my legs and get a pedicure.

chocolate is my go to flavor. but my husbansd loves the vanilla

there is an app for this site?

I wouldnt say hungy... i am using the smoothing king "gladiator" 46G protein per drink. I cut that in half so I only get 23G just so I can learn to choke it down. ( I have tried a dozen different brands and so far this s the best) I will last me 2 hours and then my stomach is growling again

did they prescribe an anti-nausea for you? Zofran 8mg ODT or Phenergan syrup.

how far out are you ?

So today was my first day on pre-op diet. drinking a shake every 3 hours while awake. in betwen Water, SF popsicles, SF Jello & low sodium broth.. Is there any other clears that I am missing? Also I am due for another shakle at 10pm, right around my bedtime. Can I have one right before bed. Let me know Thanx Laura

I just use fresh fruit and also extracts. they sell these awsome ones at walmart "watkins" they such intense flavor. also at sam's club they sell sugar free davinchi syrups. Kahlua is my favorite mixed with decaf coffee

wish me luck !!

Love the gladiator at smoothie king. They sell it for home comsumption also. My favorite

OMG I have the magic bullet and I am going still going to use that and bring it work with me. but the ninja is the fantastic !!! I also bought some very small rubbermaid containers which hold the perfect amount of food and Protein Powder for work and travel. The set I got at Pier 1 had the spoons already with it. If you have an Ikea near you I know they carry the demitasse spoons cheap and there are no cartoon charaters on them :-)

Mine is scheduled for April 2nd, I am on full liquid for 3 weeks post-op, then I am on the mushy stage for 3 weeks after that. after that it is introducing somthing one at a time. no booze for min. of 6 months, anything with a shell (peas, corn) I can e-mail you what I have been given.

I start my pre-op diet on Sunday. 4 shakes per day and clear liquid for one week. I just bought a kitchen ninja pulse for my smoothies. it makes them go down easier. I also went to pier 1 and got some cute tasting dishes. they are just the right portion.

OMG. I have never eaten out at more restaurants than ever before. Monday Italian, chicken wings the other day, last night wss chinese buffet. Right now my husband is cooking me portuguese chourico that I had flown in to Texas just so I can have some before the surgery.

getting sleeved april 2nd. only 2 years in the making. ( I knew I was fat but didnt have the Md proof) This is only my second post to here. I start my clear liquid diet on Monday. If anyone can help get this weight loss ticker started that would be great.
