Doing ok just nauseated and the gas pain in my ribs .i got up and walked with no problem just wish I could eat the crushed ice with out feeling like my stomach is about to jump our and leave

Today is surgery day!!!! I'm nervous excited and every emotion you can think of. I'm disappointed because I only lost 11 lbs on my pre op diet...i know that sounds weird but I wanted to be on the 320s day of surgery.im 336 today...and I DIDN'T CHEAT!! Heck half the time I just went to bed and didn't drink all my protein shakes..wish me luck!!

You can tell. I think we look at ourselves for so long we just don't see it. but keep up the good work!! looking good!!

@@MrsMurky721 I'm doing ok i have one more day till my surgery and it is nothing but Clear liquids tomorrow.Today i want tostral my toddlers food though lol i just want to chew something...you know you are hungry when you are drinking chicken broth and think this needs some ramen noddles.lmao but I haven't cheated!!

I wanted to know what exercises you all have done to tighten the loose skin? My surgery is Thursday and just want to make sure I have everything to be successful. Also I have a lot of back fat and stomach weight really want to know stuff for that.

I thought my preop was bad the first week was 2 shakes and a meal under 300calories. now I'm straight liquids and i just told my husband I can't do it anymore. I'm soo drained and angry. But i have only 3 more days to my surgery!!But we can do it!!

i'm drink the isopure powder,. I bought one of the RTD grape frost but the after taste is waht killed me and it made me sick tomy stomach..so im sticking to the powders for now

I TOTALLY understand the hangry moments.I'm more easily irrated and my filter is GONE!! lol I'm on day 11 and my surgury is on Dec 4th. and for the past couple of days I really wanted food...i'm on just on liquids but just 3 more days!!!

My doc told me it's normal for that one right incision to hurt cause that's were they removed your stomach..praying for you

Thanks guys!!! I'm about to make me another protein shake before we leave to get my mother in law an go to my uncles house! I'm so glad I found this fourm!!

This is day 8 of my preop diet. I'm doing ok so far but I'm really hungry Ihave drank my protein shake and some broth but i want some dressing lol!! Pray for me yall! My surgery is Dec 4th and i don't wanna mess anything up!

I'm on day 7 I think it took me till day 5 to not get crazy about food. Now I can talk about it and watch it and be ok. I still get the headaches and the "hangry" moments. lol but good luck to us all and pray that we don't cheat tomorrow.

I work up today at 3am with a migraine..had to some medicine but once I drunk my shake I felt a little better.

I'm in Nashville and having my surgery at St. Thomas Midtown w/Dr. McDowell on Dec 4th!!

I drink the Isopure creamy vanilla zero carb and I just bout the low carb (.5 net carbs a scoop) and I mix them with Silk unsweetened soy milk ( that has 1 net carb per 8 oz) I have to water them down a bit because they are too sweet for me but after that not bad..I haven't tried the unflavored which I need to find.

I felt guilty for a little bit. My sister has almost lost 100lbs by herself and why can't I do that. I have lost weight before I lost weight since the start of this journey but what I have to remember that everyone is different what works for my sister might not work for me. I'm using this as a tool to help me loss the weight that I have been carrying for a long time. I just have to put it in my mind that this food and not working out as much as I should is killing me. I want to be her for my son show him the right way and hell maybe have some more. But don't feel guilty for knowing what you need to lead a healthier life.

Food Network is my channel man!! I'm on day 6 of my pre op diet. and I think I'm doing pretty good. Now on Thursday when I switch to full liquids might be another problem now I can look forward to my 300 calorie meal then I will be surrounded by food and people pigging out But I can do it. I have done this much. but food network doesn't make me as hungry as pintrest does

I have BCBS of TN under my husband and he works for the school board. they submitted my information on 11-7 I got a call on the following Tuesday that it was approved. I thought that was awfully fast because I use to work for an insurance company and they took weeks to get stuff approved.

Mine is Dec4th!! this is day 5 of my liquid/one 300 calorie meal week. last night was hard.. we watch food network a lot.. (I went to school to be a pastry chef didn't complete thought but it is a passion of mine) and they were making calzones!! I just looked at my husband and told him I'm going to bed to dream about pizza lol. But I'm doing ok. I feel lightheaded a lot if I get up too fast but I haven't passed out yet so I see that as a plus lol.. question though is anyone working out during their per op diet? I thought about it I may go to the gym to day and lift some weights no cardio most def will pass out then.

i have been mixing unsweetned soy milk with isopure creamy vanilla and i also tried the vitiamn shoppe's brand of the chocolate. I have to dulet then a little becasue things get overly sweet and i get a massive headache,

I just drank my protein shake. Isopure creamy vanilla and light vanilla soy. It taste really good but I couldn't drink it all..overly sweet stuff makes me have a headache. ..so I'm going to buy regular light soy and try it

Watching food is going to be a problem. ..i like food network and cooking channel too much lol I

Thank you! !

The dietician did..but I don't like the taste...the premier ones...too sweet. I saw the unjury ones they have a chicken soup on. But I bought a little package of the isopure. ..we will see how they taste

Thank you both. ..i bought some sugar free jello and broth...hopefully it will help. Is there a protein shake or powder that you all suggest
