Anyone else find they started losing motivation and struggling to get back on track? The last month or so I've been eating things I probably shouldn't & completely stopped exercising. I could say it's stress or some life events or mental health hurdles, but honestly I hate excuses and I won't accept them from myself. So I've decided to go back to basics, which is why I'm here, to get advice once again. So has anyone else hit the 5th month slump? Any thoughts on how to get motivated again (and stick with it)? Also would love ideas for Vitamin alternatives/reminder tricks because I'm god awful at remembering my multi & calcium!

I was tracking pretty regularly using the 1oz cups but now I just use a water bottle. I'd say probably at least 20oz between Water and Powerade. Might go back to the cups and try and keep a better eye on it.

Walking is the best medicine! Try sugar free popsicles to help with Fluid intake.

I had mine the same day !!!! I've been having that problem as well but I guess you don't really need the advice now that you can start your puree it sux my Dr says the 15th but if it does help someone told me about Bone Broth which has about 10g so that a few times a day is great and you can cook with it !!
best of luck and congrats!!!

2/22 here! My liquid diet is underway and with a couple of bumps I FINALLY have a handle on it! So hard to believe next week is surgery!!!

Sleeved 2/22 and so far so good! Getting down liquids a lot better than I was at first but Protein Shakes still make me a little queasy so just focusing on staying hydrated for right now [emoji4] hope everyone is doing great!

I completely understand. I like me and I'm fat always have been. I just don't like my health issues. Got vdg to resolve them

I took gas x, walked and layed on my left side. The left side trick was like a magic fart machine. Gas x helps once the gas makes its way into your intestines. Walking helps it move from your body cavity to your intestines.

Sleeved 2/13/18

2/22/18 was my day too! Congrats and I hope you're doing well!!!

Walking, walking, walking! And it takes a good 3 weeks to level out entirely - you will sound like an orchestra for awhile! Anesthetic and the air they pump into the abdominal cavity is the cause of the gas pains.
Hang in there, it improves daily. Also do not get dehydrated, carry Water with you always.

I love this answer , had my sleeve done yesterday 2/22/2018 and I know I will mourn the girl I leave behind. Also I’m kinda new to this app

So yesterday I bought a 'goal' dress, not something I normally do, but it was too beautiful to pass up and I'm just sick of telling myself "no". I'm currently a size 26/28 and the dress is a size 20. Wanted to see how others changed in sizes during their journey so I can gauge a realistic goal of how far out post op I want to be able fit into my first nsv goal.

[emoji817] I've cheated twice on my pre op diet and it's been bad (no soda or caffeine though) I knew I'd struggle so I started early. My pre op liquid diet is two weeks so instead of 14 days I made it 17 and tbh I think it was the best decision for me because I was able to pick myself up and I don't have to worry about major repercussions from it. You are human. Sh*t happens. For me my triggers were feeling overwhelmed and not having an outlet for those feelings, I've learned that, and now I'm good, I've got a handle on things, and I'm still right on track for my pre op diet. You got this!

Good luck to all who start their pre surgery diet on Valentine's Day and good healing to the DS-Sleevers-RnY having their surgeries today.

Today first day of liquid diet surgery on Feb 28th.

Started my liquid diet a little early because I hated the idea of starting in the middle of the week lol I'm on a 2 week preop diet. But 10 more days! Crazyyy

I will be sleeved tomorrow morning, been on the liquids for 6 days and no cheating which is a miricle.

Mine is on the 22nd and I’d love to have a surgery buddy!

Mine’s on the 22nd too! And I start my liquid diet on the 15th as well! So excited but so nervous!

My surgery is on the same day! But I don't start my liquid diet until the 15th.
