KELLIEDN

Hmm.. my first night was awesome. I got a lot of exercise pushing the pain med button and sleeping in between.

For me, people were in and out of the room. Taking vitals, helping me get ready, explaining what was going to happen. Seeing if I had questions. In and out the entire time. Nurses, helper, the anesthesiologist. I was in there for about 1.5 hours before the actual surgery. They even brought me a warm blanket when I felt a little cold. It went super quick.

one day at a time and see how it goes!
when my doctor asked me about goals - well. I said 160. I can't even wrap my mind around being that small! he laughed a little and told me I was going to blow that goal away. 129 would be the top of normal weight for me. We'll see. For now, I am just following the plan I am on and moving my body - walking - pilates - and we will see where it takes me. I am just thankful to not be diabetic anymore!

I just buy the Premier Protein shakes from costco or Sams club. They are really good and have 30 g Protein for each one. No mixing or mess making. Just shake and drink. They are more expensive at other places though.
What pre made ones were you using?

I just opened the book that came from the Weight Control Center that I was at for the 6 months preop stuff and it also says we go home on full liquids. Man, I've been killing myself today trying to get this down! I'm getting a Premier Protein shake and I'm going to enjoy it! Slowly, but still lol!

I guess all surgeons are different? My surgery is tomorrow and I have been on a full liquid diet since Saturday. But that includes light yogurt, plain oatmeal (with skim milk and truvia) and sugar free pudding....so at least I had some things that I felt filled me up and I could enjoy. Today is my only day of Clear liquids only.
I can't imagine having to do today for 1 or 2 weeks. I totally feel for you!!

I love the chocolate premier very cold or with ice...

I love the premier from cotsco

Since you have conflicting information and aren't having complications or issues, I would go with the one that would allow me to get in the most Protein.
If it helps, my surgeon allowed Premier Protein during my clear phase.

I'm having my surgery today too! If we can chat that would be nice.

Mine is tomorrow. My boys are 9 and 11 and I just told them the truth in broad terms. I had to explain to them because I plan on them helping me next week I think kids are more resilient than we give them credit for. The 9 year old is a bit worried, but he will be okay once he knows I'm okay.

I urinated 7 times overnight and when I weighed this morning I had already lost 10 pounds of Water weight.
I have since urinated about 5 more times today and have lost another 5 pounds of Water weight.
So, thankfully, the diuretic is working as I have lost 15 pounds of water weight in only 18 hours. Yay!!!!

Good luck to you Kelliedn on Friday. I was sleeved on Dec 28 2015 at Beaumont Royal Oak and at 3 mos out I have never felt better in my life. Keep us posted.
