Good luck

Bummer on the cream soups, I used the low sodium healthy soups which had very few calories or carbs. And I know what you mean on the jello. I've had many of those moments already myself lol... Today is day 8 for me ???? so almost there.. What about the sugar free pudding?

????????Happy surgery day???? I hope it goes perfectly and you have no pain ????????

And I had no supervised diet either ????

My first visit was in February . And unfortunately the rest of my other appointments couldn't start till march. And my surgery is may 5th. Not to bad of a wait. I'm kinda glad, as it really made me slow my roll and really study everything info wise. It was a great time for making sure this is for me. Good luck on your journey ????

Prayers sent for a speedy recovery ???????????? I hope you have a perfect surgery and no pain ???? my surgery is next Tuesday..

I'm telling ya, I just put my frozen chocolate sugar free pudding through my Yonana's machine, and man alive it was like a Wendy's frosty. And totally guilt free and on my pre-op diet. So yummy ????

Congrats ???????? I'm on day 7 of my pre-op. The first two days were the toughest for me, but now it's smooth sailing all the way. Are you allowed to have non starchy vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower and cream of whatever soups ? If yes try the soup over fresh veggies, it's so good. And I've been freezing my sugar free chocolate pudding in ice cube trays and then running it through my Yonana's machine I bought at Walmart, and it's just like ice cream. No Lie. I also ran my protein shake through machine as well. Frozen of course. Good luck with your journey. My surgery is may 5th, see you on the losers bench.????

Congratulations on your fabulous loss!!! ???? and what an amazing adventure you are on. And holy moly on all those steps.... That picture is amazing..

Congrats on the upcoming date for transformation ???? I hope you have a speedy recovery ???????? It is so nice to come to this forum, such great advice from all levels of this journey. ????

I use Isopure unflavored protein in water with crystal lite flavor packet. It still tastes like water, even with stuff in it.

That's great it worked ????

???????? Prayers sent ???? Yay you are on the losers bench now how'd it go for ya? Was it scary? Did you have major nerves going in?Oh a wonderful non traditional was to treat my nausea that my recovery nurse did, was put an alcohol pad on my nose, so as i could sniff it! Worked wonders!!!What did that do for you? I've never heard of something like that. But how cool though ????

Congrats on the loss, I'm down 5.8 pounds in 2 days myself.. Hopefully you'll be even more than you expect for doc. And awesomeness that you didn't cheat. I've been tempted to but have stood firm on my plan ????

You are welcome ????

I'm on day 3 of pre-op diet with surgery May 5th Roux En Y ???? Dr Gersin Charlotte NC here

BCBS of NC here and yes call everyday if you have to. I know I did. The place I use has on several occasions gone a week or two to get back to me with just simple questions, so I had to call everyday till I got an answer. It was about a total of 2weeks and I got an approval. But my Drs office had it for about a week and a half. When I called BCBS they said they try to respond within a day or two. I'd call your insurance to see if anything has been submitted yet. I'm totally glad I stayed on top of it. Good luck and Godspeed ????????????

It's amazing how you can feel your bowels being flushed of all the crud..it will only get better from here on out, and hey it's more pounds off right!!? And yes it's annoying at the same time lol

Never trust a fart lol ????

I'm day 3 of pre-op liquid, I noticed some slight irritation yesterday. I just thought it was maybe gas pain, with all that liquid moving things around. Obviously if it continues go to the doctor. As for me it's not been alarming so I'm fine not talking to a doctor. Good luck and I hope the pain subsides soon ????????

So how's everyone's pre-op liquid diet going? I'm on day 3, day 2 was very tough, but I made it. I've lost 5.8 pounds in two days... Rock On ????

I start my pre diet on Friday. I am a little afraid of the shakes and not eating. I know I can do a day or two, but for 10 days...it's going to be tough. Best of luck! Pass along your words of advice as you experience this.Today is my first pre-op diet day and man alive I'm trying so hard not to cheat. GOD HELP ME LOL Well it's been 4 days and I think I've gotten through the worst of it. Day 2 was horrible. I was so hungry, but I made it through. I have found out that it's a habit of mine. Just grab something because it's there. One thing I found out is when I'm preparing food for someone else and I made a mess or had a taste of something. I would just lick my fingers. Now I wash it off my fingers. Lucky you that has ten days of shakes. I have a month. On a funny note, last night I dreamed I ate a brownie and then I realized I couldn't have them. Immediately I spit it out and threw it in the trash! Thank goodness it was only a dream! Lol! ????????I agree day two was tough.. But I made it and day 3 is in full swing with absolutely no weird hunger pangs..
