That's great kingdavid good to see you are doing very well. No pain for me either thank God! Stay focused!

Got my Sleeve on the 16th. everything went really well, no pain. still a little gas. so far have only drank Water, Gatorade g2 and Syntrax nectar fuzzy navel. Haven't had any problems drinking anything, have to take slow sips on the Protein, seems like that gets caught up in the gas still.
Think I may try broths or Soup sometime later this week. my doc want me on liquids, everything strained for 2 weeks then on to pureed.
Oh, no hunger at all yet. haven't got on the scale, think I'm gonna wait till my 2 week followup visit. lost 15 lbs on the pre-op liquid diet (10 days)

I just had my surgery Thursday (July 16) I took 7 days off, counting the weekends that would give me 11 days recovery time before I have to go back to work. to be honest, today is Sunday and I could go back to work tomorrow. I have felt fine every since I left the hospital. Im sure another week at home and I'll be crazy lol

That sounds delicious
Ive had a pizza, where the crust was a pretzel. Funny, I saw a taco bell commercial last night where they were advertising a deep fried, cream filled captain crunch ball lol

This comes up in the media sometimes. They’ll list the calories, fat, sugar, or sodium content of a few shocking menu items. The worst part is that these numbers aren’t so farfetched or rare. People really do order and eat these items, and the numbers really are as high as reported. Those shakes, pizza, appetizers, Pasta dishes, and even salads can have one or more days’ worth of calories and all kinds of unhealthy nutrients.
What’s the worst restaurant food you ordered – knowingly or unknowingly, before or after surgery? For me what comes to mind was a salad at a Mexican restaurant I went to a few times with my family. It was described as a “mountain,” and that was fairly accurate. And while it did have a mountain of lettuce and tomatoes, there were more than a few additions in there to drive up the calories. It had chicken, Beans, and cheese, plus guacamole, and.it was served on tortilla chips with melted cheese. And the amount of dressing needed to dress that salad? I don’t know, maybe a half-cup? A cup? I’m guessing the entire salad had between 2,000 and 3,000 calories. It was awfully good, and I ate the whole thing.

I having my surgery on the July 16th and here is my plan
Thursday July 16 Surgery
Friday Take off work
Sat Weekend (no work)
Sunday weekend
Monday Take off
Tues Take off
Wed Take off
Thurs Take off
Friday Take off
Sat weekend
Sunday weekend
Monday back to work.
That would be 11 days to recover. I work 95% at my desk I've taken so much time off for doc visits till this point that I have to be tight on my time off. this has to work hehe

Ive seen this happen with a few ladies I knew in the past, but it wasn't weight related. one of the ladies started a business and it was really successful right out of the gate and continued to grow over the years. They were best friends for years, and did a lot together. The one girl was really supportive at first almost bragging about her friends business, she seemed to be so proud. after about a year the friend started being distant, she only included the business owner in activities if it was a reason to invite her....like maybe they need someone to pitch in to help pay for this or that.
the business owner was patient and brushed it off and after about a year or so of being left out. the friend started being a friend again.
Maybe this will happen with your situation. she just has to get use to the new dynamics that a slimmer you bring to your friendship.
Unfortunately, the reunion my friends had didn't last long. The friend that didn't have the business just went back and forth with their friendship, disappearing at times and showing up if something happens in her life where she needs a friend.

I never watched that tv show called the View. (this was a few years ago) I happen to be at a friends house one day and the view was on TV. My friend kept talking about how one of the women on the show was too small and has lost too much weight. I'm looking and I cant pick out who they are talking about. I finally ask and they are like "Star Jones" and they point to the screen pointing out Star Jones to me.
Like I said, I never watched the view, and didn't know who Star Jones was. When my friend point her out to me Im like "whats wrong with her, she looks normal to me" My friends were all like "she looks sick, she has a big head" etc. Im like I don't see it. I later find out she had WLS and I saw her older pictures.
but to me, how she looked was how she looked and I didn't see anything wrong. I think people sometimes have an old image of you in their mind and when they do look and see the new you, it makes them think something isn't right. its their problem, not yours. People that has never seen the before you probably wouldn't think anything at all.

My surgery date is July 16th. My doc usually require 2 weeks liquid diet before the surgery but he told me I can start on July 6 due to the holiday.
Ive already been experimenting with different things. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder (chicken Soup flavor), Premier Protein rtd, muscle milk rtd, pure Protein Powder. and I have some of those swanson flavor infused broths (which I need to get some of that Unjury non flavor Protein Powder to mix in). Yogurt etc

Hi July 16 here.

I haven't done my Pre-op diet yet.. but I have been doing a lot of Protein shakes (basically because its easer to grab a Protein shake than it is to try to cook breakfast/lunch lol)
but I've done juice fast in the past. the very first time I did it, I felt horrible the first 7-10 day headaches, tired, irritable. The thing that seems to help me is drinking more Water. I know a lot of times people will follow the Water guidelines and I was too but I just found that whenever I feel any type of hunger or headache I just drink more water, whether I'm going over the recommended ounces or not. that was a big help and seem to solve my headache problem.
I think that first juice fast did something to my body because I haven't had those issues since and I've done several juice fast and I've been loosely doing the Protein Shake liquid diet for a few weeks now.
