August surgery ppl
I’ve got 16 days left on this preop diet surgery is in 17 days I’m feeling kind of at peace with it all like I’m not nervous I’m not crying all the time or having outbursts of random rage I think detoxing from sugar is a huge thing and it messes with you. I’m hoping any other folk who are with me on 8/28 and about to start their two week liquid diet hugs I feel like you have a tougher road than I do I at least have options like meat veggies even that weird protein ice cream. But guys everyone let’s have a day to celebrate by this time around Christmas we can use those awesome gift cards we always get for some new threads

Favorite Liver shrinking diet foods
Ok so I’m preop day 5 of the same type of diet where your allowed food just no starch. So far I’ve utilized my air fryer like crazy I love making steak in it. So far a typical day for me is a few eggs in the am with either cheese or yogurt. Then I’ll have an approved snack. Then for lunch I have meat and veggies then for lunch another snack then dinner I’ll have a different protein with veggies. Then a snack to accompany my nightly meds. I get in at a minimum two doses of calcium I’m working on getting my vitamins down. It’s also me struggling to get in all my fluids while obeying the rule of no drinking after meals for a half hour. In two weeks from today I will have a last meal so to speak of I’ll not be on true solid food for a good month so it’s a nice mmmm yeah that’s getting eaten

August bypassers/sleevers
Good luck to those today. Started my preop diet yesterday and I gotta say I’m pretty happy I’m not not experiencing the inflammation from all the sugar I used to eat all the time buuuuuut found out sausages are evil like epic heartburn. Yeah not going there again. Also my program allows air fryers soooo mmmm. I’ve basically stopped using my crock pot and switched to that appliance specifically

Should weight matter in a relationship?
Honestly I met my husband 10 years ago when I was around 175 and we were just friends. I’ve gained 100 pounds in 10 years over the time of him knowing me but 7 of those years he has spent by my side loving me getting me to the place I am now and he is truly my best friend and we have an amazing life. Mind you were waaaaaay outside the norm when it comes to lifestyle but I always come back to him

The regain posts
Ok so I was wrong on the study but I did actually look up the study and the head researcher who works at Hopkins did a great peice on the Keto diet being a good temporary solution for those with epilepsy. Mind you that’s been around since the 1920s but he does recommend the Mediterranean diet

Did anyone else’s doctor tell them a pre-op diet is not necessary?
So my surgeon requires 3 weeks of no starches. I’m doing 6 surgery is officially 5 weeks away. I’m allowed food up until 48 hrs before surgery then it’s clear liquids. But honestly for those of you who have to do any type of extended liquids my hat goes off to you I am not that strong and I would infact cut someone

Guess how much my surgeon's office wanted to charge my insurance?
So probably none of you know about specialized hearing devices but I have a titanium bolt 4mm in my skull. Fun the reason for this is it attaches to a sound processor that allows me to hear like a super human. But for the bolt and the processor combined it’s 14,000 that doesn’t count or fee dr fee anesthesia which honestly they should have just numbed my skull cus I was awake for half of it anyway

Kids and food
So I’m chiming in here my husbands family are immigrants. They hail from Peru all of them are small like all of them except his brother and my hubby. And we have food allllllllll the time. We have desert alllll the time but the difference is the meal is the least interesting part of our gatherings we play games we do karaoke competitions we make pretty much anything into a compitition including jenga and their kids eat juice snacks chips but also veggies real food too it’s so different to see the way food is handled in his family versus mine
