Hey Ladies! It's funny to see the stall period... I too was stalled at 35 lbs!!! This week FINALLY started to see the # go down again... I'm at 38 now.... Creeping up on 40!!!! I have been walking but I think upping my walk game has helped. food is such a strange thing to me now.... I never noticed how much food everyone eats on the regular. It grosses me out. LoL my biggest complaint is that I have thrown up quite a few times after eating. But I can identify my issues with eating too fast! Keep up the good work everyone!!!! I want to see pictures!!

@@Heatherg0907 think positive thoughts. I know how cliche and annoying it can be to hear that, but you truly can set yourself up for failure if you begin by thinking you're going to fail.
I will say a prayer for you and your success this time around!!

What is everyone's favorite Protein drink/powder? I have been struggling with this... Because let's face it, they're GROSS. I have discovered Syntrax nectar in Lemonade and its okish. Any tips for getting this done without gagging?!?!?

Hi! I got my approval for food yesterday!! I don't have to go to puréed foods, I wonder why? I can have any meats (softer the better) and a whole list of veggies and fruits no bread, no Pasta. Last night I had 2 oz of chicken and 2 tbsp steamed carrots. It was like heaven in my mouth. Hahahaha good luck to everyone getting started with food again!!

Definitely not alone. It's a change that our bodies couldn't have been prepared for no matter how much prep we went through. I'm struggling quite a bit with it too. So tired. Ugh. Keep me updated on you and I will do the same.

Well I am 6 days post op and I am struggling to even have the desire for food and or Water. Ugh. I was hoping it would be easier by now but I am really having to force myself to drink let alone Protein.

I have had both and I'd say they were fairly equal. The gas just plain sucks. I mean we can get a guy to walk on the moon but we can't suck out all of the gas after surgery. Ugh. I'm so sorry but just think of it as a means to an end!

With my surgery date of April 11, I am officially in the middle of day 2 of the liquid diet. I have two weeks for this... And am feeling like I may kill someone before then. I am so hungry, and apparently everyone in my home feels like they need to eat real food. So prepping meals that I won't be able to eat is awful. Thankfully my husband is taking care of most of this stuff. When does the starving feeling go away?!?

I'm on day 11 of my 14 day liquid diet. It has been ROUGH. The hunger definite lessens toward the end, but I absolutely crave food. I keep telling Myself it's more important to do this than eating that food. I'm literally taking my days one minute at a time. When a craving comes or I don't feel good in that moment, I think of something sweet or savory. Like a Popsicle or broth and have those. It helps it's not the same as eating pizza but it helps. Keep putting one foot in front of another.... You got this!!!

That's cool Brittney! Thanks for the ice tip! I forgot they had suggested that in classes. I've been drinking like its my job!
Do you want to keep in touch and be my "pal" through this?! I'm getting in my own head about all of it. Thankfully I do have a super supportive husband, who is handling my misery well. LoL.
Good luck on your diet! And I'll say a prayer for you on Surgery day!!

Just wondering why you all decided to have your procedure in Mexico? Curious.
