So lucky! Mine is 2 weeks of Clear liquids and 3 shakes. I'm on day 5

I'm July 3rd too!

You look awesome! How is your skin holding up?

I'm on day 4 of clear liquids with 3 shakes a day. It sucks. Lost 2.6lbs. My mistake was not gradually weaning off of caffeine. The first day I had horrible caffeine withdrawal and was barely functional. I've cheated 2 days with a spoonful of peanut butter because I'm so damn weak and lightheaded, and I'm a stay at home mom with two young kids (1 and 3.5) so I can't afford to be weak and non functional.

My doctor has me starting purée the 2nd day after surgery.

I haven't looked it up. I know they are a pro breast feeding organization so I figured they would encourage me to continue. I'm soooo ready to stop!

So my son is 1 and I've been trying to wean him before my surgery on July 3. I've gotten him down to only nursing for his 2 naps and bedtime. Basically, it's the only way he falls asleep. My surgeon thinks that nursing will burn way too many calories in the recovery stage, and I totally agree. How do I get my son to stop? I guess this is a parenting question too, but I'm desperate!

Good luck! You'll do amazing!

Oh, and a lot of people say that they drink vodka with crystal light or something, to limit calories

My doctors paperwork says 4 weeks, but he told me its empty calories so choose wisely. Honestly, I haven't drank in almost 2 years because I was pregnant then breast feeding for a year, so I'm in so rush to start. I'd try it at home first, you don't want your big night out to be running and puking or having diarrhea.

Yay!

My mom has had to postpone her surgery about 8 months. She has a significant ulcer that just won't heal. It has to be removed. She's going in on Monday for her sleeve, but if the ulcer is in the way they will have to do a full bypass. I had ulcers too, but mine healed over the 6 month supervised diet.

Premier Protein from costco or SAMs club

I don't think I'm allowed milk. Only clear liquids and 3 shakes. I have the Premier Protein from costco. I've been good since. I got out a little and did some clothes shopping for my kids so I got my mind off of food. I can't wait to be on the losers side!

These nurses/surgeons see blood and guts and gore all day.. I doubt your period will bother them!

Did you have a sleep study? Because I didn't think I had sleep apnea. I had no symptoms, slept pretty well, but when tested I do have it.

Haha..My pity party was yesterday when I was making my husband and kids a nice home made meal and I sat at the table with my Jello lol. My husband looked at my bowl and I just told him to shut up and not talk to me. I had a good cry too. I never realized the hold that food had on me. Kinda disgusting when I think about it

Thanks everyone. Willpower has never been a strength of mine
