Whos in September? We need some September buddies!
Montereygrl replied to janie2024's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can't wait, Tuesday is the day. I don't know if anyone has done this but I have cleaned my house completely, like it was Spring cleaning time. Went through clothes that have started getting big on my pre-surgery diet and put them in a pile for good will. After reading most posts, I feel blessed I never had that overwhelming hunger. I had one turkey meatball in 2.5 weeks. But I am not worried about doing this long term. Excited to join the other Sept. Sleevers on the losers bench. -
I have used the proti a, protein shots since being on my pre surgery diet. They are thicker than jello but taste pretty good. They are a great source to get you protein in. Good luck..

Pre-op Diet ..starving
Montereygrl replied to offigo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know about your dr, but mine allows me to use unsweetened almond milk in my protein shakes. Try that and see if it helps.. -
Unflavored Protein Powder
Montereygrl replied to KCSG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are to a point where you are allowed tried unsweetened almond, coconut or soy milk changes the flavors just enough that you may enjoy. -

On day 5 of my 10 day liquid diet, not starving, not agitated or overwhelmed just excited its getting closer. My Dr allows us pre surgery to add soy milk, almond milk {unsweetened} to our protien drinks, it makes them so tasty. If you are having a problem ask about that. Try mixing protein flavors I did choc/banana yesterday and strawberry/choc. -
My friend makes homemade ones from a Allen cookbook called Against All Grain, they are fantastic. But I don't have the recipe. Maybe google it.

I'm September 17th in Chico, Ca. I have my blood work,chest X-rays and EKG today along with all my pre hospital paperwork. I have been for the past week working on cutting out food, so I start my liquid stage tomorrow. Only food I have to cut out now is protein bars. I have to say it feels real now! Super excited for my new life -
Tomorrow is pre-op testing, blood, urine and chest X-rays. I've been weening myself off regular food for about a week. I'm down 15 lbs in 3 weeks. Getting super excited.

Maybe a call to your Dr to reassure yourself everything is fine.

Those of you starting your liquid phase in the nutritional portion of verticle sleeve.com there are some food ideas for the liquid diets for soups and other drinks, broths. I've been cutting back in preparation for mine coming up. Good luck to everyone. -
Does anyone know if you can use a juicer and make homemade Popsicles on the pre surgery and post surgical liquid phase. I'm nervous about starting those phases but am already starting to wean myself off of normal food like breads and pastas. It's lean and green and protein meal replacements for me.

That's awesome! Keep up the hard work. -
day 1 of pre op liquid diet...failed already..
Montereygrl replied to Heather Meyer's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Heather, I don't know if you have a family or not but if you don't one suggestion is to clean your cabinets and refrigerator out if all the unhealthy no-no foods. ( donate to a mission or shelter) and stock what you will need for you next several weeks. And, don't be hard on yourself. This journey will be about learning and struggles but the end result will be worth it. -

Right there with you. My surgery is Sept 17th. I switched a few weeks ago to half liquid and half lean and green diet a couple weeks ago and dropped 8 lbs. good luck with your surgery. -
when to expect the most weight loss
Montereygrl replied to FRED1977's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't had mine yet but have started half liquid and half lean and green diet to help stop craving. I have a nutritionalist at my Dr's and can call for help if I get frustrated. Do you have a local support group you can go to? Stay on track and hang in there. -
Wow, one day. I have 10 before my surgery, September 17 th. but I'm weaning out the food now.
