10 days on clearer liquids not even full liquids I find out late next week if they will advance me quicker but I'm in no rush honestly, no appetite.

Ok my first post after conversion Before is the last meal I had (bday) After is all I'm allowed for about 2 weeks

Joining because I need a boost 🚀😁 Im swollen and puffy but still wearing skin tiight jersey dresses. Accessory of the day... Electrolyte water 😂

You can totally call and inquire about the status of your approval Good Luck 💜

I decided to weight myself at home because I felt bloated and sure enough surgery has made me gain. 10lbs to be exact. But 3lbs of it already disappeared overnight. It was really the IV fluid (Lactated Ringers) and inflammation from the work done. But it is visible and felt. But atleast I know exactly what is going on and will return to normal im a few weeks 😁

My original surgeon did not require one but I did it for 5 days prior to surgery because I was nervous/anxious. The new surgeon required a 2 week pre op diet of 2 shakes 1 protein\vegetable meal. I mostly followed it because their reasoning was compelling enough but I was already at goal weight and believed my liver didn't need to shrink more. So I was not perfect. I do not recommend this for anyone with any amount of regain. Had I followed it perfectly I would have lost more weight, which was not my goal. Plus my Birthday fell exactly 3 days before surgery so I basically did what I wanted within reason that day (light and real ice cream, pie, salad, fish and chips) 2 days prior to surgery I went full liquids only (my rules), 1 day before clear liquids only (my rules also) , the night before surgery fasting (their rules) Hope that helps. But as always follow your surgeons plans because they could always get in there and decide to either postpone or covert from lapro to open if your liver isnt mobile enough (the reason for the pre op diet)

What brand? I like these types but I'm not brand specific

B -Side Question: My boyfriend said that one time I looked like Janet Jackson to him when I was all dressed up for a wedding we attended. I guess l know who he was crushing on...

IMHO Waste an appointment with your Doctor, better safe than sorry. Get Well Soon 💜

Day 1 at home: Working on fluids all day long. Gotta practice what I preach. But also I notice these photos were exactly one year apart both post op and maybe 10 lbs apart... I'm wearing the same shirt!

I really like the 1/2 portion idea ! But I'm curious, did the Nutritionist never mention that drinking your calories (orange juices,etc) may slow down weightloss? Good luck 💜

😁 thank you 😁

Goodness i should not have posted while impaired lol spellcheck betrayed me...

Guess who is going home!

IDK... I didn't have an appetite after my first surgery either so...

Oooo La La...

As I'm sure y'all know, I am not hungry at all and it seems my tastes have changed again 😞 The broth was bland, never tried the jello, drinking is fine but slow

There must be pretty compelling medical reasons to revise. Stick with the recommendations of yout surgeon

breakfast lunch dinner Water, broth, popsicle, jello

feeling pretty decent,, all went well !!!

B-Side Question: How's your summer going so far?
