Congrats on getting sleeved and I’m so happy that you are doing so well. I can’t wait to be able to say the same next week. Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ? Surgery Date: 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish ??

I’m on the liquid diet, I would eat 10 right about now if I could lol. Fighting off the head hunger tonight [emoji51] Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ? Surgery Date: 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish ??

I realize now why the people in the yogurt, ice cream & hamburger commercials eat the food slowly. They must be on the liquid diet and that bite is literally all they are allowed to have [emoji23] I know when I get my 1 Greek yogurt per day I eat it slowly and savor every bite too Hahaha!

How long was your preop diet and how much did you eat? My surgeon says the diet is meant to reduce the size of your liver so that the surgery is safer. There are a lot of people who only have to do it the day before, if at all. If you've stuck to the diet otherwise and this was the only mistake you should be fine. Definitely try not to slip again though, this close to the surgery date might not be a great idea.

The closer I get to having my surgery (the 21st) the more I want to tell people. I am proud that I am finally taking control of my health and getting my weight under control. We are going to visit family for a week around Christmas and trying to hide it when visiting 2 different families everyday just seems exhausting. I don’t want one of my kids or one of the few people I’ve told to slip so I think I will just let people know after I have it done. One of the people I told is already telling everyone at church and one person has been very disrespectful in addressing me about it. Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ?

Does the vitamin mixture taste funny? I think I will ask my surgeon about the vitamin levels. I didn’t think about them containing less because more gets absorbed. Thanks [emoji1360] Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ? Surgery Date: 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish ??

You’re almost there, you’ve got this! [emoji1377] I’m on day 5, surgery on the 21st. I have to admit I dreamed about pancakes and sausage last night. [emoji23] Go figure, the crazy tricks our minds play on us. We will kick this diets butt! Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ? Surgery Date: 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish ??

Just wondering what everyone thinks of this for after surgery. I saw it on Facebook, kind of interesting but not sure it would be a life saver. Do you think it would make life easier or just be a waste of money? It’s interesting, but the Bariatric vitamin is still missing a lot of what my surgeon requires. https://gettespo.com/?hs_fb_account_id=714642958658248&hs_fb_campaign_id=6079600980153&hs_fb_adset_id=6093613549153&hs_fb_ad_id=6093613549753&hs_parent_creative_id=6090822660753&source=fb&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=Tespo+Conversions+Campaign Have a great day!

I could be wrong but I believe she is concerned that she is losing too much protein when she vomits it, since she can’t measure how much was retained before getting sick from it. My surgeon says that one week after surgery he wants me to strive for 60 grams of protein a day, the equivalent to 2 premier protein drinks. If you are keeping down half of what you are taking in you should be ok but vomiting half of everything you take in cannot be healthy and must be miserable. I would definitely talk to the surgeon and let him/her know that the diet is making you sick. Maybe they will adjust it or allow you to get your protein from a different type of shake or broth etc. Hopefully they can do something to help you. I’m sorry that you are having this problem and I hope something changes to help you feel better [emoji177] Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ? Surgery Date: 11/21/2017.

Oh no I’m so sorry. Are you allowed to try other protein drinks or do you have to drink theirs? If you are allowed to try others there are some tasteless ones on amazon or different brands around. Definitely call your surgeon and ask, maybe he can suggest something. Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ? Surgery Date: 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish ??

That is what my NUT said too. She said to measure out 1 ounce of ice chips (they use plastic cups that are 1 ounce each) and just one at a time let them dissolve on your tongue. Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ? Surgery Date: 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish ??

I hear ya. I made my kids dinner and I keep thinking one bite won’t hurt. I haven’t given in but the temptation is there. Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 SW ? Surgery Date: 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish ??

Hernia repair surgery is very similar in the diets and incisions. I googled it to make sure. After reading that I plan to tell people that I had hernia repair surgery and that I lost so much weight from the pre and post op diets that I decided to keep it up. Not eating much for 7 weeks will definitely reduce your portion sizes when you do start eating again. Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 Surgery Date: pending 11/21/2017.

That sounds good. I am also supposed to stay away from carbonation now and after surgery. I’m not a big soda drinker so that wasn’t a problem but I would love to be able to have veggies. I made cabbage soup hoping I could eat it during this phase but they said no. I’m glad you are doing so well, great job [emoji1360] Have a great day!

Awesome! I’m so glad that you are doing so good and had those issues fixed all at once. Congratulations and I hope that you continue to feel even better everyday. [emoji177] Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 Surgery Date: pending 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish [emoji23]

Awesome congrats to both of you! Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 Surgery Date: pending 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish [emoji23]

I will have to hope for this scenario lol. I’m still taking study guides and stuff just incase I’m up for it [emoji1360] Have a great day! Amanda [emoji16] HW 248 CW 241 Surgery Date: pending 11/21/2017. Goal weight 150’ish [emoji23]
