Illuminated

I was talking to my surgeon about stalling or Plateauing and he said, during those times it is very important to really exercise and get your resting heart rate up to burn more calories and jump start your metabolism to start kicking the weight off. Try not to get discouraged and do your best to stay active and maintain your diet.
Best of luck!

I am a true believer in everything happens for a reason, and I think it is better to have everything checked out before being operated on. I can only imagine how upsetting it is, but hang in there, once you are in the clear you will have a safe and well done procedure. =)
All the best

Hi Ladies, I had my surgery on August 2nd and I AM THE SAME WAY! I am about to throw these Protein Shakes out the window. Geechee girl, It was funny because when I read your post you sound exactly like me. I am in socal and my surgeon is a little more lax and said if you feel up to it you can start the soft things a little earlier than the 14 day mark, but I am a little apprehensive and I think I may stick to the plan. I have been having a hard time getting all of the Protein in because I don't really know how fast I should be sipping. How often are you guys sipping? and what exactly is a sip to you? Pre surgery I was a big gulper so I just want to make sure I am not over sipping. Thanks!!!

I was scheduled for only 3 days including the same of the surgery. But then they said I was not drinking enough and wanted to keep me another day because I had to start getting enough liquid in. It was ok though I did not mind too much because I was being taken care of and monitored an extra day.

I'm 11 days post-op and the only thing I have tried is sugar free Jello. I was told not to eat until day 14 like you... I never wanted scrambled eggs so bad in my life. I'm not really hungry, I just miss chewing something in my mouth. I am way over the shakes. Bring on the softies!!!
