Im June 1st, Im down about 35 lbs. I was worried about my one month post op that I hadnt lost enough. The nurse said she was happy with my weight loss so far. I was doing fairly well with walking but I have been slacking due to lack of energy. However, I work part time as a waitress in addition to a desk job, so at least I know Im getting my exercise there. Ive been eating alot of eggs,cheese,lean ham and turkey lunch meat. Nuts (which I know Im probally not suppose to), tuna, cooked shrimp (like shrimp cocktail type) and grilled chicken. I am also having a hard time with not drinking and eating. Im happy so far. My only complaint is that I haven shrunk at all size wise in bottoms but tops I defiantly have.

My Surgery is monday I appreciate the response

PLEASE Dont yell at me! Ive been on clear liquids 2 weeks tomorrow. I havent cheated except on day 1 I ate some cheese. I really would like a glass of wine tonight or tomorrow. I know it will be a long time before I can have one again and I was just looking for some advice. I just want options from other sleevers. Ive lost 15 lbs pre op! Im sure the feeling will pass I would rather just have it now then trying to worry about a craving later. Thanks in advance

Im sure the feeling will pass, The first few days was hard, now its a breeze. I shocked myself working my parttime job last weekend as a waitress being around all the food and I wasnt tempted to graze. I guess if I can make it through that the wine feelign will pass, I just wanted some advise from others who might be in my situation. Thanks

Thanks for starting this topic and for all the replies! It was super helpful

I just bought swansons louisiana cajun broth. I havent tried it yet though

Hi, My Surgery is scheduled for June 1st, I have started my preop liquid diet today. All clear liquids, and 3 protein shakes a day. I had jello and a shake this morning, A shakeology shake for lunch and 2 crackers . Im not suppose to have anything but broth, jello popsicles and shakes.Water obiviously. This is going to be tough, I work 2 jobs the 2nd being a waitressing job..I pretty much told them I cant work until after my surgery. The other job I work is not food related so I feel confident with that one. I feel kinda bad about eating the 2 crackers but I was really hungry. HELP!
