Ello does anyone know when after surgery we can eat green salads?

Thanks for encouraging people like myself who are emotional eaters. My prayers are with you and your family.

Good answer thanks

Do you add anything to the cream of wheat for flavou?

Illy question -how do you eat peanut butter with no bread?

Well everyone it is hard to believe that it is almost 2 weeks post on Monday. Unfortunately due to not having anyone check up on me while I was recovering in Mexico I ran into a terrible infection which is under control now. So if you are going alone be sure that someone from the hospital is checking up on you. I was left alone from Wednesday until I flew home on Friday. Now I have a smile on my face but what a tough couple of weeks.

Had part ofmy protein drink feel much better. Thank you

Duranfan1969 what is Sf products?

Well I am going to make a decision an have a mini protein drink this morning. Do not want another day like yesterday. Just scared that it will affect my liver and they won't do the surgery on Monday. Ugg

Well I finished day one of the three day liquid only. If you are a person who does not drink a lot of flavored water and gateraide then please be careful as it made me very sick. Nothing in my stomach now lol. Now I start day two which I hope will be better.

Thanks Webchickadee but I am starving lol. Only day one and two to go ugg.

Now I begin the 3 days clear liquids only ugg this is going to be tough lol

I take it you have been sleeved? How long for you? How was your experience?

Hi pdxman

Leaning on one another is what it is all about. Sometimes we get our strength from others. All I know is that I would hate to be without you guys.

Thanks bubblesbgoid far cry from yesterday lol

Welcome! We are here all you have to do is post lol. The group is getting me through this. Better than some family members lol. Good luck with your journey to a new life!

Hello to all just a quick note to say "Kat is back on track" lol. Today was much smoother lol

Congratulating Candyman! Stay positive and all the best.

I can't thank you all enough for your words of kindness and encouragement. I have really given it a lot of thought tonight on what caused me to waiver. I know it was bad habits coming back. I haven't been spending the time reading on our forums for the last couple of days and you know what it works when we can lean on one another and read what is happening in everyone's journey. This is where we get our best support! I have learned a valuable lesson. I have also posted the calendar to keep track. As far as meal planning my preop is very restrictive so there is no room to change menus lol. Ugg. My mom used to say to us "where you are today is where our God wants you to be, that there is a lesson he wants us to learn in everything we do". My faith is strong and I know I can get up this hill too. Again a Big Hug to all of you for your support. I truly feel that I am not walking alone.

Thanks itsmeloca

Feel so rotten tonight. I caved I ate something I wasn't suppose to on my preop and now I feel horrible. I am having such a hard time. The moment I come through the door, my brain goes into food mode and it is not that I am even hungry. Any ideas on how to change my brain thought. I even tried brushing my teeth when I got home ugg this is definitely not easy. Nine days done 9 days to go. All ideas welcome. Sorry guys, I am not a very good example I guess as I sure don't hear of anyone else letting food win lol

Thanks Webchickadee and all the best to you. I am scheduled for June 11th with Dr. Garcia.
