Congrats on your weight loss success! You look great!

I'm told that adding crystal light is okay and it still counts.

Yes. I lose between 1-2 pounds per week. I just try to follow the diet and work out at least 3 times a week. How many calories is everyone eating per day?

Thanks for the warning. I wanted to try it as burgers are my favorite. I think I will pass.

Congrats!

Wowsers! That's a lot of bruising. Looks painful! How many ounces are you getting in? Of that, how many is protein? I only drank 32 oz yesterday, all clear protein. I'm about tired of the protein drinks already. I just want plain water but I know I need more than that...Sleevegirl - what are you using for clear protein drink? I've been using colored Isopure, but having found anything clear to this point. Curious, and maybe hopeful for something better than Isopure. Side note: The family bought me an ice shaving machine. Today I'm going to try to make some Isopure shave ice, or something similar. Hope it's OK! -sd Isopure is considered clear because you can see through it. I was using the Nectar protein. They have strawberry kiwi, fuzzy navel, and Caribbean cooler flavor that is pretty good. They taste way better than Isopure. Today my nutritionist told me to start full liquids. She said it is healthier. She gave me 4 recipes for protein smoothies that I can whip in the blender. I'm excited to try them!

I'm doing pretty good. I can't wait until the incisions are no longer sore. I'm trying to walk but it's hard because all I want to do is sleep. I drank 32 oz yesterday and had 2 sugar free popsicles. My goal is to drink 48 oz today. How have you been?

Small sips is what I was told.

The nurse finally gave me the right combo of pain and nasea meds so I'm feeling much better! How are you doing on your first day at home?

Got out of surgery about 4 hours ago. I made it! !!

Well, it's about to go down. Wish me luck!

I have to be there at 8a. My surgery was cancelled twice due to my low potassium levels. I can't believe it's finally going to happen tomorrow.
