I love Fairlife milk! It is definitely my favorite!

Thanks Katie! I know it's probably not something I can drink forever but it is definitely something I need right now! Thanks!

Ok so I am 9 days post op and feeling great! I am tired of plain old water canny drink G2?? I know but was ok when I first got home for my electrolytes but is it still ok???

I have only told a handful of people and if they ask how I'm losing I'm just going to say High protein, low carb and no sugar!

I just had my first ounce of cottage cheese and it was the best thing ever!!!

Ladies it won't be long and you will both be joking the losers bench!! I am in VA as well in the Hampton Roads area. I was sleeved 8.6.15, just went today for my first follow up and I'm down 20 lbs since my last pre op appointment! Best thing I ever did!!!

@@Tony Fowler glad you are feeling great! It's definitely better than I thought it would be but I am looking forward to stage 3 foods! Back to the surgeon on Friday for my follow up! Good Luck to you!

Surgery was Thursday August 6.....everything went great! The MD told my hubs to plan for an hour and a half, I was out in 45 minutes, then on to recovery! I remember nothing till I was finally in my room. And I don't remember much of that....????Good Drugs!!! I used my pain pump religiously and I slept a lot, which was exactly what I needed. They took the pain pump away around 330 on Friday???????????? but it was all good, they started me on my oral pain meds and Pepcid, I was so scared of taking the meds, so worried something would get stuck, but it wasn't to bad. The pain meds are nasty so I haven't been taking them to much! Home from the hospital on Saturday around 1....before that my electrolytes were out of whack and they had to keep changing my IV Fluids. So I am home and feeling pretty good, a little gas pain in my left shoulder and some pain on my right side where my drain and my bigger incision is located. I slept in my bed all night and I am trying to focus on getting enough Water in! It took me about 12 hours to get in 8 ounces of a Protein shake but I know that will get easier. Just wanted to document my story, the beginning of my new journey and my new life!!

Chesapeake!! Surgery tomorrow!!

@@wantingabetterlife I can't wait till someone asks me how much weight I'm going to lose!!!

Day 6 of the pre op diet for me! My 16 year old and 13 year old are amazed, they both keep saying, "mom I don't know how you are doing that". I'm hungry just watching you!!

@@Gumpgal I tried several pharmacy a but my husband ended up taking it to the pharmacy at the hospital. Not sure what medication you got but one is liquid Vicodin and apparently that is back ordered

Thanks BigTink2liltink I actually put a call in this morning!

So my surgery is August 6, this Thursday!!! I am so excited????????????! But I woke up this morning with congestion in my head so bad, not sure if it's a virus or allergies! Please tell me they won't cancel my surgery! I have a call on to the surgeons office. Hopefully I will know something soon!

I like chocolate jms7e3!!

I am using the Carnation no sugar added instant breakfast with Fairlife milk....easier to get down for me, I struggle with the protein shakes! With the Fairlife each 8oz has 18gms of protein! In August 6th, just finished day 1 pre op! Good luck everyone!!

August 6th....started my pre op today????????

August 6th for me! I started my pre op diet of full liquid today....I'm not hungry but I feel like I just want to chew something! My family is great, very supportive, but I have teenage boys!!! Can you say pizza at least once a week! I am so ready for surgery, I just need to get over this need to chew feeling, I did chew gum today and it was the best gum ever....????????????! Liking forward to seeing everyone succeed!!!

Just started my pre op diet and one of favs is Carnation Instant Breakfast no sugar added with Fairlife, 18gms of protein in 8oz!!! And it tasted way better than a protein shake!!

I have had a stomach bug since yesterday, nothing tastes good and I feel terrible! I start my pre op liquid diet on Thursday, I guess my body is just getting started sooner than I wanted! There goes my last supper ????????

Chesapeake, va

@@calee I am August 6th as well but I don't start my pre op diet till Wednesday July 30th....good luck and keep me posted on your progress since we share a surgery date!

@miamiblue13.....I hadn't thought about the food commercials but now I notice them everywhere! I start my liquid diet 7 days before my surgery on July 30!!! Netflix is definitely going to be the way I go!!
