A year from now I will be able to have crunchy foods like a cracker or no steak for a year, the canned chicken you can smash it to nothing in your mouth quite soft, but yes do what your doctor says to do. I can never have no carbonated beverage again.

I was only on clear liquids for two days before surgery and 3 days afterwards I had the Robotic surgery

I was told by my doctor anything full liquids or anything that is easily smashed with a fork, I could of had mash potatoes but I changed my mind

Well I hope you are doing better!! I got to come home today from the hospital and I just ate some canned chicken ( 1/4 cup) and some Green beans(1/4 cup) and its amazing that I'm full and I feel so much better.

Well it's going good all consider, I'm still in the hospital and having full liquids now; lost 21lbs ( I'm sure it's water) I'm hoping to go home, I'm still sore but the soreness is not bad. I'm not hungry, more like a thirst. I hope things go good for you and good luck on your progress and let me know how you are doing. Good luck

Been walking the halls, taken in fluids good, no bowel moment yet but I've been farting, today I'm suppose to get mushy foods but I heard it will be lunch looks like I will be in the hospital another day, but I feel better with a slight pain when I go to stand up or sit down

My heart beat went low so they said I crashed put a line in to my heart to take meds or blood bruised on my left side but its my right side that hurts. Walking without O2 , I'm just bloated with Water gain... Thanks for asking

Well just got done walking , took lortab elixir before. Day of Surgery I crashed, heart beat got low so the put a heart shunt in, I'm normal now I'm on the clear liquids till Sunday then go to mushy foods . First time I'm not hungry and I don't regret having surgery, I have a lot of water gain but its coming off.

No .. Not me

Thank you very much for the tips, I can not lay in bed unless I'm sleeping so I will be walking the halls as soon as I awake from surgery and able to stand, this person loves the term COWBOY UP it was our battle cry when I served in the Army and that training will help give me the motivation. Congratulations on your weight loss and your support ... Peace my friend

Thank you very much!

Well tomorrow June 19 @7:30am my sleeve date is here, being on this clear liquid diet has not been too bad, the broth, Popsicles , and jello all sugar free of coarse has helped, I never would of thought I could make it but so far I'm hanging in there, the kids say that's the way I roll. (Lol), I been keeping busy and not watching TV with all those food commercials. Went to a support group meeting last night and it was Mary Kay make over day, if I knew I wouldn't of been there I needed different kind of support, so I'm looking at all these females with a white mask ( paste) on their face, so I just sat there being humble with all the ladies in the room, did meet Liz she lives at the near by town made it a support for me, she is such a sweet heart. Good luck to all the June sleevers past present and future . I'm ready fully without a doubt this is for me!

Well it's Monday and I started the clear liquid diet and I think I drank the worse chicken broth ever, I was hungry but after drinking a cup of that crap kinda turned my stomach but made up for it with a sugar free banana flavored pop cycle ... Wednesday seems so far away.. Well support group meeting @7pm , my luck everyone will be eating a bean dish or something from a new recipe and I'll just drown my hunger with water, but I can do this... Come on Wednesday so I can get to the next step .... Lord help me

Well it's my last day of having solid foods before surgery ( even tho I've been drinking protein shakes mostly ) now I don't have that option will be rough, I know I'm only on it for two days of clear liquids before my sleeve date the 19th of June, I know other done it but it will be rough, I bought over a 100 sugar free pop cycles and have chicken broth with all different type of crystal lite.. I just have to try to keep busy, what make it tough for me is if I could do this diet I wouldn't of weighed over 400 lbs, I'm at 398 now but it's all water loss.. Well I hope everyone is doing good and being cheerful. Someone on here said focus on your depression , I say heck with that get up and get out and keep busy, go out in public don't be a hermit... Peace

That's what my NUT said too; I was wondering how others did it; like eggs in the morning, chicken for lunch , fish for dinner plus protein drink in between those meals, if you don't hit your number do you drink another protein shake?

My surgeon told me no carbonated beverage of any kind and that means beer.

Gee.. I was reading all four of your post and y'all are ll beautiful women that just wants to better themselves, I think we all tend to think that way about ourselves when we are depressed. My sleeve date is the 19th of June , I was as high up @ 478lbs at one time went to a weight loss clinic lost to 255lbs then gained it back to 430lbs; now I'm at 400lbs. But you hear so much negativity around you after awhile it tends to chip away at your armor. I have a tendency to be by myself at times due to things that happened in the military and I feel all ugly at times. But from experience its from not getting out into public and when you do you feel out of place. Or someone might say something about your weight. I seen skinny people that was the same way who was nothing but bones. I say Ladies it how you feel about yourself not what others think.. Beside I love a women with curves.

It been so long with NUT on how to get in 78 gm if protein a day and I was wonder how do you do your meals on getting the protein. My sleeve date is the 19 of June . I remember Dr. Cooper ( my surgeon ) saying 3 meals a day. On here I been hearing protein drinks count as a meal, then it would be hard staying at 4oz a meal (2oz protein ) I can't find my paper where we went over it on the protein part. Any help please for this lame brain....
