MIJourney

I'm pre-op but that is one of the 4 meds we get sent home with after surgery.

My Dr office says due to the pre-op diet there was "no bowel preperation needed". Works for me! Sorry if you have to do that:( Was no fun when I did the colonoscopy prep but that was drinks and pills.

That's one of the options on my Vitamin list from the Dr

I've had the non-booze version of the layered jello in a 13x9 baking dish at holiday meals. Much prettier in the bundt pan!

Very awesome! You must feel like a new man...or less of a new man:)

Mine started 2 weeks (13 days since my appt was Weds) prior to surgery. I'm on Day 3 today and so far so good!

You've lost 19 lbs in 9 days?? I'd say that is pretty dang awesome!!

When was your surgery? How much did you hope to lose?

Safe trip and good luck!

68 lbs in 7 weeks?? Way to rock the sleeve!

How much have you lost since surgery? If you've been losing I think I'd just stick with it. You'll probably see an overnight drop soon.

Ha! Saw the correction on the 2 months not weeks:) At least your still losing even though it's slowed down for you. Seems there are many with stalls or slow downs 2-3 months out.

Awesome job to both of you with your results!!

Yea you!!!! Congrats! I walked a 5k 2 yrs ago with co-workers. Most ran and 2 of us walked. Thought I was going to die. Hope to someday run one. I run all the time in my dreams. Not in a race but all over some city, mountain, beach, whatever. Kinda like Forrest Gump;)

Pregnancy issues won't be a concern for me since I'm old My Dr has not advised for 12-18 months after surgery but I don't think it's due to weight issues but due to your new tummy healing, etc...

What are your protein requirements? Are you still on liquids only? I know all Drs are different, just wondering whats yours does.

WOW! Pretty in pink:) Great job girl.

Best of luck! Hope it's smooth sailing for ya!

I had a long group appt today with 5 other patients having surgery the same week. I had planned on following Dr and dietician orders to a "t". I was also under the impression I'd be without coffee and on a liquid 2 week pre-op diet. Found out decaf coffee and tea is allowed before and after surgery. I can deal with that:) Also the 800 cal pre-op includes some actual chewable food even though they are all protein supplement foods that the office requires. So I came home with oatmeal, soup, bars and shakes and a few pasta meals. All ready to start MIJourney tomorrow!

That's great!!! Congratulations!

WOW and congrats! That's a huge amount to lose in just a year. Good for you!

Hope things clear up once you're fully hydrated.

Is your surgery date correct? 6/11/13? If so it seems you should be taking in more than water and apple juice. I may be wrong but it seems pretty far out to be doing just clear liquids with no protein.

Have not had surgery yet but I'm going with "the sleeve is a tool" theory and it's going to be up to me to make it work:)

Looks like you found the fountain of youth! Much younger looking in the after photos. Love the fringed top too
