    Alcohol Addiction

    Get PROFESSIONAL Help! In support group I met a woman who started drinking wine and became an alcoholic. She lost her husband and children in 2 years of this addiction and decided to attend AA Meetings to reestablish a relationship with her children. In the AA Meetings she polled the people and found out 15 in the group had WLS. 1 DIED a slow miserable death. So her warning to us was NEVER drink, it can cost you everything.

    Pre- Op liquid diet advice!

    To break up the monotony of sweet Protein, put non flavored protein in broth. I need that after getting a headache. Headache never came back. Sent from my SM-G530T1 using the BariatricPal App

  6. Hey I was sleeved on July 13th also! I spoke to my surgeon after feeling dizzy and heart palpitations. Dehydration is a real problem after surgery. He told me to get 40 oz of liquid in me, including meals. Protein scoops with coconut water( 3x a day 12oz) Protein with bone broth (4 oz) Isopure flavored Protein Drink half bottle with added Protein powder (10 oz) popsicles (4oz) and Water for whatever I'm lacking. I hope this helped a bit. Congrats on making the choice for a healthy life!

    Wed. July 13th?

    Yes! I'm being sleeved tomorrow. Are you excited? I am. Wishing you the best results. Sent from my SM-G530T1 using the BariatricPal App
  11. Today is my 1st day of my pre op liquid diet. I had a Protein shake with greek yogurt and coconut Water for Bfast. Home made vegetable broth for lunch and a SF popsicle. A Green drink with hemp protein for a snack and a Protein Shake with almond milk for dinner with a half cup of SF Jello. I drank 12 8oz cups of water. I had worked out for 40 min doing cardio and I'm afraid I've created this headache that won't go away. Is the headache from heat, exercise exertion or lack of food? Has anyone overcome this feeling. I don't want to think I'll have this headache until after surgery. ...please help? Thank you!

    At my pre op today my surgeon was happy to see I've lost 26 pounds for surgery. All my tests are done. Surgery is next week!!! I'm thrilled! So here comes the question.... Did anyone use norco for pain relief after surgery?

    1st Day of Pre Op Liquid Diet- Surgery in 8 days

    @@Alyting I found that chicken bone broth with a small bit of sodium helps with the sweet overload ... even when it's SF.

    I went to 2 support groups this week. Both were good but the 1 that was better is not at the hospital I'm having my surgery at. I'm having my surgery at the other but I think I'm switching support groups... is that unfair to me? others? I enjoy this support group and the one on FB.
