    Protein intake does not count as water/hydration intake. You must take in atleast 60-70 grams of protein per day, and also a minimum of 64 oz of Water. broth, and sugar free Popsicles are considered hydration. Yogurt and Protein Shakes are absolutely not considered Fluid intake. I know it's hard but you must sip both Protein Shake and water all day. Also FYI and fore anyone else who doesnt know the Isopure flavored Liquid Protein doesn't count as hydration. Isopure is liquidy but is 100% pure protein and has no water in it.

    I'm officially in the October Sleevers Club and I'm bouncing off the wall!! My surgery is officially October 13th! It could've been the 2nd but I actually am hosting a birthday party. Don't think I didn't think about it either but I quickly became realistic. I'm so freakin excited! I can't wait to feel like I have the energy to chase after my life, my dreams and live my life to the fullest without the burden of this extra weight. Everything seems to be lining up in order for me to be successful at this...THIS TIME! I'm ready!

    Congratulations! I'm scheduled for Oct. 8th. I'm so happy! I think I'm in the nesting phase. I've been cleaning, preparing and doing whatever I can to keep busy. ????

    All my Vitamins and Protein Shakes were delivered to me today. These are the brands that I decided to use. I bought the variety pack of Premier Protein shakes which include the flavors chocolate. Strawberries and cream, and vanilla

    I also ordered Premier's Mixed berries smoothies in a 4 pack. The vitamins I decided to use are Bariatric Advantage Multi Ea, and Bariatric Advantage calcium citrate Chewy bites in the caramel flavor which came highly recommended by Kaiser. Also, The Blender Bottle, and Isopure liquid Protein in the 04c7cf8822cb89ff7572d3fb008ce66e.jpgflavors Grape Frost, and fruit Punch which is not pictured.

    I was afraid that I was making a mistake, that even after surgery I would still eat too much and not loose weight

    Curious to know how that worked out for you @@Sophie74656?

    I'm just over 2 weeks post op. So far I've lost 20 lbs and doing great.
    I meant how was your will power over the desire to eat after surgery? Was it easy to not over eat?

    Every since I first started researching WLS I started reading tons and tons of boards and websites and groups on the subject. Watching Youtube video's and reading articles etc. Ive probably touched on every topic of information there is on the subject at one time or another in the last year or so. I have been a bit obsessed.

    There are some things I see that bothers me. and that is how there are people that will try to do thier own thing and not follow the rules. Id say almost every day when I go to read my ussual websites and forums and groups, there is always a post from someone doing something that they shouldnt be doing.

    "I ate crackers 4 days after surgery"

    "Im eating boiled eggs 3 days after surgery"

    "I got to have my alchohol so Im not giving that up"

    "I pureed a cupcake...I'm in the pureed stage"

    I don't do water" (which really annoys me...water has no taste, this is usually stubbornness)

    I don't understand it. why would you spend all that money, spend all that time, the recovery, the pain, the uncomfortable moments, nausea, inconvenience to not follow the rules and try to make it work for you the best it can. Sometimes people just don't know better I get it. not everyone does the research and not everyone has good options as far as their nutritionist to help. But some do. they know better and but they want to do what they want to do anyway. I actually saw a post from someone on another forum...

    "I didn't spend all this money to have to watch what I eat...if I wanted to do that I would've just lost weight the regular way"

    I read stuff like that and wish there was a way to revoke that persons surgery and give it to someone else.

    The bad thing about this thinking, as soon as a person say something silly, there are others that fall right in line. one persons bad behavior feeds that behavior to others. "Oh its alright to eat crackers 4 days after surgery? I'm gonna go buy some crackers now"

    A lot of people say "talk to your NUT" which is good, but I don't believe there are a million different rules. I believe there is 1 set of rules, there is a right answer. if your NUT is telling you that fried chicken is OK 4 weeks out, YOUR NUT IS WRONG.

    That was a long intro but here is what I wanted to share.

    This is a article I saw earlier today that I thought was interesting.

    Sometimes after we have had our surgery, we still get absent minded and need reminders. this is a good kick in the but

    Especially number 10.

    ???? I totally agree with your entire post. I researched the sleeve for 2 years before deciding to go forward and these things annoyed me me also. I just never stated out loud. ????????????
