Hi all. My surgery is july 22. I am so excited to get this journey underway. Has anyone else had problems getting the Protein Shakes down? For the most part they smell how tube feeding smells and I have a hard time drinking them. Open to suggestions to get over the visual in my head that I'm drinking tube feeding.

Its wonderful to have you all cheering for me. And to see your progress is very good to keep me going

Awesome job and you are doing great can't wait to reach those goals

If anyone is not added to fb group add me on fb and then I can invite you to the group. Jennifer phillips magnusson is my name on fb

Should have type of Protein Drinks. powder and ready to drink. sugar free Jello, pudding, and popsicles. chicken and beef broth. A lot of people start there. Did you get guidelines from your surgeons office. And sugar free crystal light or other Water flavors

Hi all. I just wanted to share my first major nsv. I actually went into Walmart with my husband and walked the entire store to get what we needed. Before I could barely make it half way through our shopping and I would go wait on the benches outside the store. I am excited to already notice a difference even before surgery.

i hope everything goes well for you and wishing you a speedy recovery

just wanted to post this again and would love to see you all on fb

I feel the same way at times. I have not had surgery yet. But knowing that so many others have started at or above where I am makes me see it can be done. I get so much inspiration from the people on these forums. Feel so glad I found them.

So glad for you. I know it is hard going through stalls.

it was almost three weeks, which i know is not long for some, but it was hard for me. i kept doing everything that they said and one day i ate maybe 1100-1200 calories and then the next day went back down and it was a couple days later when i weighed lost 10 pounds, and now 7 more. i dont know that it helps all but it helped me

ok just wanted to make sure

Hi there, I felt that way too. I weighed today and lost another 7 pounds, so 57 so far. I do know that I ate a little more 1 day and then went back to my regular 500-800 calories and I finally broke my stall.

hi all where is everyone? I dont see alot going on right now. I am just anxious for my surgery to get here.

That is so awesome dave and no I can not wait to be able to say I have reached my goal. Everyone here is such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your journey

That's awesome!!! Keep up the good work.

no i have blue cross clue shield of illinois, i looked up exercise on youtube, search "exercise for obese beginners" there is a whole series of exercise that starts out slow and builds up. Now i use the strongest resistance bands i could find, during the whole workout, i do that for an hour then i do 4-5 sets of lifting weights (arms, lat pull downs, and leg lifts) i have a weight bench at home. and i walk on my gazelle glider.

i could not find the group either on fb. please let us know the link. thanks

Count me in I will look for the group today.

Check in all how's everyone doing now. Lost ten more pounds here. So total of 50 preop so far. So ready to get this journey underway

Awesome job dexter. Keep up the good work. It is a long road but one I'm looking forward to
