New day ahead

i am at 68 pds gone.

I have not been on the forum much since surgery. Glad to see so many doing geeat! I had my surgery on 2/8 and I am down 31 pds! My struggle right now is I want a salad, I miss chewing! I just started on soft spot. Ricotta bake is my best friend for the last 2 days..lol I went back to work at 2 weeks. I am still tired alot. The vitamins are yuck, yuck yuck - but needed , so consumed.

i can't wait to to have salad again. I am on soft diet.

I had surgery the same day 2/8. I have 4 oz skim milk with Inspire protein in the morning, then move to water or Crystal light. Lunch I do Unjury chicken soup and then water again. I have an afternoon jello and popsicles 2. Then I do Inspire protein in 4 oz of skim milk again. That completes my 60 Gmail of protein. Then I just keep drinking until I finish the 64 iz. I range from 58 to 64. Sip sip sip. I sip even when I am not thirsty. I can't wait to try an egg!

i was the same way prior to surgery. But, I stuck to the preop diet without cheating. It was then I realized I could do this and have no regrets. I was sleeved on 2/8 and I am so happy I did it!! Best of luck!!

I had surgery with a hiatal hernia repair on 2/8. The first day morphine was my friend. Once I got up to walk the gas pains in my shoulder got much better. I was not allowed to drink anything the first day. I think that was the hardest thing. My mouth and lips were so dry. Don't forget your chap stick. Day two I was finally able to drink and have some jello. I was never so happy...lol I came home the day after surgery around 3pm. Have been getting my fluids in along with jello. Tomorrow I will start my protein again. Life is good!! No regrets!!

my surgery is in the morning and I would love a scrambled egg right now!

i was doing great with my preop liquid diet until about 2 hours ago. Suddenly I went running to the bathroom....yeah...I guess this is normal? Somebody should have warned us.

One week from tomorrow is my day! Today I was thinking what if it doesn't work? What if I can never eat again? What if I wouldn't have it? So much running through my head today. Tomorrow I start my liquid diet. For the last three days I have done liquids with the exception of one small meal. I thought I could ease into the liquid diet and then it won't be terrible. I will do fine!

i am Feb 8th too! So excited and cant wait! !

This is eerie lol. I'll look for you. Save me a seat! i am carly

How will we know each other??? I'm Laura i would love to meet you. I usually sit in the back corner when you first come in. Ok. That sounds like a plan. The corner where the receptionist is or that little waiting area when you go in on the right? rhetoric corner off to the right just when you walk in the door. Across from the receptionist.

I like Inspire from Bariatric Eating. You can mix with four ounces of water or almond milk. No grit or after taste.
