  1. My mom said she didn't really purer she just chewed it for a very long time . One little piece at a time . My surgery is next week and idk how purée is going to go for me I feel like it would make me nauseous eating my food in a liquid form
  2. I feel like for you to lose that much without even working out is a lot
  3. I'm on day 8 girl and it just got better yesterday
  4. God bless you I thought my strawberry one was awful in the big bag but I just purchased the chocolate one from my doctor in the canister yesterday and it taste like hot cocoa so that one makes it better and I'm on day 7
  5. Legally you don't know have to tell them that. At least in New York under the HIPA law . And employer doesn't need to know what exactly you're having surgery for .
  6. I told only my immediate family like grandparents and three cousins and my parents obviously know. And my close friends .
  7. My first three days were miserable, but I'm on day four and I'm doing so much better. You'll make it. I slept when I could, and I ate sugar free Jello. I feel like things got a lot easier today. Lucky . My hunger is gone but I'm having the worst gas and keep having to go to the bathroom .
  8. Stage one is the liquid right that's what my packet says
  9. Glad my rambling helped someone, how is everything going on your journey? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk My surgery is the 15th and I'm on my pre op two week diet and it's just giving me really bad headaches . I've always had headaches because of my sleep apnea but non like this. It's day five and it's just terrible and I had like 4 unsalted peanuts even thought I'm not suppose to but I felt like my head was hurting because I needed food or something . I wish I could take excedrin .. How is eating during stage 2 for the hospital ?
  10. I loved reading a lot of your pre op post they were very helpful
  11. I was told not to use a straw as well because of the air and it could cause gas
  12. It's getting better now but yesterday was the worst headaches I've had in a very long time . I know it's working because it's day four and I've lost 6 pounds What is everyone doing for the painful headaches? Tylenol or Motrin? Can you take meds at this point? Mine said if you have to take tylenol because it's not a blood thinner like the rest . But I would still ask your doctor .

  14. I was wondering the same thing I'm on day three and right now my head is pounding so bad and I know it's because my body wants actual food ! Not broth and Popsicle sticks it's so frustrating especially when your head is pounding like crazy . And you're lucky I wish mine was like that . I should have asked my surgeon why is it some people only have to do like 1 or 2 days before . And the person who gave me the okay when to start didn't have me do the first day and was like it won't kill you . The week before is really most important where you have to be strict . So it's weird to me why it can't be at least one week
  15. Mine said the same . But my moms told me from her experience they will close you back up if it's too big .
  16. And I woke up with a headache what day are you on . I wish this diet was week . Even my doctor said the week before is most important and that's when you have to be extra strict
  17. I've been craving Chinese food and idk why [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] and I actually didn't have to do my first day because that's when I hit the insurance approval but it's still kind of like second day ( suppose to be third )
  18. My genetics are great and my mom had the surgery but she's a lot older and after that she had a lot of different tucks and lipo and never worked out so I don't want to be like that . Especially since I used to work out before . And I'm 5,2 my starting weight was 229 BMI of 41 my weight literally went down after my first weight in and I have extremely bad obstructive sleep apnea . My doctors office said I should weigh lowest 110 ( that's not ideal to me honestly though, that seems really low )
  19. I had a question about sagging skin I'm 21 and 225 pounds and I'm having gastric sleeve in a little over a week and I wanted to know everyone's experience with their skin and if it started to sag or not or not . I was told that my skin probably wouldn't because I'm young and with weight training it should be find . ( mostly concerned with my arms )
  20. I have Anthem BCBS but when it comes to approvals it goes through whatever third party your job uses for insurance approvals . Which is what I learned while waiting for my approval .
  21. Thank you . It's not that's it's so much as hard i think it's just the thought of you not being able to eat food . Because I don't eat that much anyway. But last night I had a dream about eating chocolate lmao. And my Meal Replacement powder is just not a good taste at all . The only thing helping me is that I can have sugar free Jello sugar free Popsicle sticks diet Snapple and crystal light . And I drink diet Snapple and crystal light all the time so it's really making me feel a lot better lol
  22. Thank you and I'm sure you will be approved as well❤️❤️❤️❤️
  23. I'm only on day one . Did anyone have headaches or feel more tired at nighttime ( earlier than they usually would at night . I feel like this two week diet is going to be so hard .
  24. Thank you ❤️ Thank you and that weird you have two ? I only had one
  25. You're so lucky I start my two week liquid diet tomorrow . Idk how I'm going to get through it
