When I proposed the original question (Thread Topic) I never thought it'd get so many responses. Everyone obviously is welcome ❤️❤️❤️

Ok stupid question, is it ok to eat sugar free cookie or wafer thingy? Carbs are a bit high, but if I figure it into my plan. Just curious on everyone's thoughts.

Congratulations ???????? that's awesome ???? the no energy part six ????, but I know it'll get better soon.

I say good for you for knowing you need a little help and getting the help you need. ????And I'm not good at doing that either. So here's to the new me right !?! Lol

It's like crystal light in your water, but those favors. And they have a peach/mango flavor not shown.

LiquaCel Concentrated Liquid Protein, Sugar-Free Lemonade, 32oz Bottle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H2LGBU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-hkzvb0H75H74 The grape flavor is yummy. The orange is good, but slightly medicine tasting. I've not tried the lemonade yet, and peach/mango was really good ???? I hope this helps someone out.

Wish I could say the same. Having a hard time getting protein and fluids in. If just protein or just fluids , I can do it. But both is difficult. Your doing well with your weight lose. Feels so good to know the weight is coming off. Using Liquacel in my water knocks both fluid/protein right out. 16grams of protein per 1oz shot, so I double up on shots in my water.

Congrats on being on losers bench, and I was about 30 mins per 1/4 cup food. I use an app to time my eating. Good luck ????

I've been losing a pound or two every few days or so. Nothing crazy yet. I'm in a slight slow down now. ???? but I know it'll move the right way soon lol.

I can def see your progress! I see a change in your face, as I do in my own, it's amazing how fast some of this occurs! I am breathing far better today, and guessing I am on the other side of this. Hoping that I will def be able to add some mushy/mashable food starting Thursday, 3 weeks is long enough. Still having periods of exhaustion, though I too have been back at work on my feet all day ????. Still Struggling to get more then 4 days a week of additional walking in. I'm so glad you are breathing better.. How scary this must have been!!! Keep using your spirometer thingy and take care of yourself ok!!!❤️???? I definitely put my A$$ in action today, and worked out... I'm proud I did it ???? Hey salonboi. Great pics. Can see the difference. It is amazing how quickly see results.Awww thank you very much.. ❤️ I needed to hear that today. I have a support group to go to tonight.. I'm kinda nervous, and excited about it too!!!

I am day 3 into my pre-op diet and feel so drained! I have 4 kids and zero energy. Not a good combination...No energy and 4 kids , oh my. That's a challenge. How is the Oreos diet going.

You can definitely tell you've lost!! You're looking great!Thank you so much, when you look at yourself everyday, it's harder to tell.

Ok this is a better comparison, sorry for all the posts getting this right lol . From left to right. Left picture is first day pre-op and next to are this morning 21 days post-op ????

I forgot to add a side view of first day of pre-op ???? and that's my son Hudson trying to figure out what I'm doing lol

the top two are first day of 2week pre-op diet and bottom two and this morning 21 days post-op ???? these are all this morning 21 days post-op ???? and don't judge my fat belly please. No laughing lol

You are doing so amazing ???? so glad you are so successful, it really feels good.

Oh and I decided to get on some antidepressants and anxiety meds. I think I need that extra help through this journey. I've dealt with both issues off and on since my teens, and this whole no food I love business is doing a number on my head. I'm ok don't think anything like that, just know my mood is changing, and it's unfamiliar territory with this surgery change, to my body. I just don't want to gain my weight back after I go through all this.

Good to know thanks ???? I'm starting to think that I should hold off on trying it as it may be a trigger for me.

Good morning everyone ???? I had to take a mental break from all social media this weekend. Partly due to having to do so much before holiday hair, and partly I just need a break. So hi and I'm alive ???? I'm down a total of 42 pounds now yay.. I'm down to 305... Not to many people are noticing yet, but I'm starting to feel it in my shirts. Today I start back to all foods now and am scared to go back to old habits. I had a few sugar free chocolate wafers and a serving size worth of animal crackers my son was eating yesterday and it didn't bother me. That scares the hell out of me to know that. God help me. My energy still sucks and haven't been regularly walking, but I must say I'm back to work (only after 9 days) and I'm on my feet the whole time being a hair stylist. So I'm sure that constitutes a lot of walking ???? I'm just scared I'm already failing or gonna gain it all back because I tried what I did. I know not to keep doing it, but I was needing something that I knew tasted good damnit .. Well that's all ???? here's to hoping ❤️ I hope all of you had a great holiday weekend. PS I'm going to put my a$$ in action today and workout ????????????????

How cool to have a surgery buddy now. Mine to.
