Congrats!!! I'm looking forward to hitting it also!! 5 pounds to go !!!

Just curious, I thought 2 weeks out you should still be on a soft diet, I think I would be scared to try any of those things yet. Hope you feel better after your dumping.

Oh I cannot wait, mashed are my favorite !! I had some unsweetened apple sauce and I thought it was heaven also !!

Also some protien bars,which helped with the need to chew !!!

I did, Jello, chicken broth, crystal light ice tea, Protien shakes and sugar free ice pops. Good luck !

Found them !! thanks Speedy

speedy, where did you buy the iso-pure ? does it come in a liquid form ?

Hi everyone ,sounds good all the food your getting down. My question is, when does the sipping stop? I know I will always have to be mindful of how I eat (slowly) . Just curios how long it took to stop this sipping ?

Thanks for the info, I just feel the the water makes me burp . I find that the crystal light ice tea is working for.

Best of luck to you

I do realize i need to get into a routine, sitting around the house, not being able to do much is driving me crazy !!

I had my surgery on Weds. August 1st, I am having a hard time getting all that water and protien in, what are you secrets ?? Im not that tired, but then Im. not sleeping that well at night.

Thanks everyone, I came home from the thospital on Friday afternoon, I will not lie I was miserable !! alot of gas pain and back pain, seemed like I could not get comfortble. I am feelin better now.. All i though to myself in the hosptial, why did i do this, I could of dieted !!!! But I know why I did this , it was for the best. It's just hard to think that when you feel miserable!! Ive been confused about what I can eat, the doctor's paperwork is alittle different from the dietician from the hospital !! according to his paperwork I can have some fat free pudding , i'm trying it now with my medicine crushed in it..not the best tasting, but it's going down !! It's a slow process, I have to remember that and just take it one day at a time. TYJ- Trust Your Journey

Thank you so much every one !!!

Tomorrow is my surgery day !! I feel really calm right now, but i'm sure tomorrow will be different !!

You are so right, thank you for pulling me back to reality !!

Thank you for this !! you are so right.. Just what I needed to hear !!

Ok I need to vent, I went to my doctor's today for a weigh in, I'm 12 days into a 16 day liquid diet and all I lost was 8 pounds !! I never once strayed from what I could have.. I feel like it should have been alot more of a loss !! Just very frustrated and sad... thanks for listening everyone, wondering if anyone else had this problem ?

I'm on Lexapro for anxiety, and it has been a godsend !!!

My doctor had me stop taking my birth control pills 2 weeks before my surgery, I started my period and I'm sill spotting, I'm hoping it will stop before my surgery 8/1

I'm on day 7 and still doing well, I've had headaches and a few pity party's, but all in all I'm hangning in there !!

It is a 6 hr flight with includiing a lay over, NJ to Ca. I will have plenty of people with me to help, I will have to talk to my doctor about the blood clot issue. I'm 7 days into my 2 week liquid diet, it's a struggle, but I keep saying it will be worth it !!! how are you doing ?

Thank you for that information, I will talk to my doctor about that

Yes I have to fly, so that is why I'm concerned !! But like I said, I am going to trust that this is the right time for me !

I am having it on the 1st, I was just concerned about not feeling well enough to travel, it is a family reunion, so I will be close to my parent's home and staying with my cousin. I think you are right, I would have over indulged and then I would have been upset with my self.. I look at it like this, this is the path I was meant to take.. Good luck with your Journey.
