I’ve been the same. I took one Imodium the first day I had the runs. Then I switched to kaopectate liquid bc it went down easier. Good luck!

Thank you all for the encouragement! I damn sure will make it! Just needed some people who have been through the struggle
!!

Lol. You’ll make it, girl! If I could do it - anybody can! Try to change up your flavors or make a shake, maybe? Good luck!

I bought the variety pack to keep it interesting. I liked all of them; cream of chicken, Tomato, chicken, beef and cream of mushroom. The “cream” of soups were not really “cream” and fine during the liquid phase.

I would recommend the Protein Fruit Drinks like grapefruit or orange. I also recommend protein Soups which were quite good. You can get them from the store on this site. Also the protein hot chocolate was yum. I also had a hard time with the Protein Shakes. Good luck!

At least the time will fly by! I have my pre-op testing on Monday. Sh*t's getting real!

I bought Premier Protein Water in tropical punch on jet.com. It tastes good - for Protein water, that is..

I’m new to all this ( just sleeved on the 27th) so I may be completely off on my way of thinking, but this is how I look at this: I didn’t have this surgery so I could never have a cookie, never enjoy my favorite dishes ever again, or to feel shamed every time I do. I’ve felt all those feelings my whole overweight, dieting, adult life. I had this surgery to help me be healthier- to help me focus on the issues with my relationship/addiction to food. That is my main goal.To have a HEALTHY relationship with food, so I can eat to live, not Live to eat. Once I learn a new way to navigate that relationship, I fully plan to enjoy an occasional cookie or a bite or two of my favorite dishes. I would never judge. However, I agree with a previous poster that I am concerned for you and that this behavior might continue and ruin all your hard work of you don’t reel in the old habits and really focus on a healthy relationship with food. That said, I wouldn’t beat yourself up about it- instead, I would take a step back, recognize what happened, maybe reflect a little on what led/triggered you to over indulge, learn something from it and let it go. Today is a new day. I wish you the best.

I ate a chocolate chip cookie the day after Christmas. In four little pieces. Over the course of two hours. But yep, I ate the whole damned cookie.
Walk of shame. Chocolate chip Cookies are most decidedly NOT on my diet.
People are human and stubborn and stupid. We try to be better, but sometimes we're kinda....nuts....and do self sabotaging things that don't make any sense.
The important thing to remember, is to get firmly back on track and move forward in a better direction.
Also, finding other ways to treat ourselves is important. Gotta break those emotional bridges to food and reroute them to something else that feels good.
I've had some luck "treating myself" to a hot deep bath with bath salts and candles....when what I really want is a brownie and vanilla bean ice cream. LOL.
Also...as weird as this is....sometimes sex helps. Feel the need to eat something stupid....sometimes I go attack my husband. Sex is good exercise and a good distraction. Gotta put away the chocolate syrup....but it's still fun. LOL
Another way I treat myself...is to phone my bestie, or play with my pets, or listen to music I love. If it's fast music, I might even have my own embarrassing private dance party. Hell, I might dance with the dog. She enjoys such shenanigans and is not judgemental. LOL:)
I get what you're saying and I don't judge you. But I do worry a little about these indulgences a month out. Concerned you could hurt yourself...and that worries me. Please be careful.
Also...I really think...for me anyway....that dealing with emotional attachment/addiction to food and finding alternatives to food rewards/gratification...is gonna be an important part of my recovery.
Will an occasional screw up ruin everything? Probably not. But you're kinda flirting with a tiger in a cage who can undo all the work you've done if you're not really, really careful.
Love the cycle class idea:) You can do better tomorrow. You will do better tomorrow.
Best wishes and thanks for the honest post. I wish people were more honest about their struggles.

"Not to judge", eh? Sounds a little judgy to me. As if you've never eaten something off plan.

Well I’m a teacher so standing up will definitely not be a problem lol. I have my nausea meds, I’m just worried about them making me tired and yes I plan to have all my meals ready to go, so I don’t mess anything up.

I am one week post-op today! Yay, I made an entire week!! Anyways I haven’t been driving, but today I drove about 10 minutes away from home and got nauseous. I was wondering if anybody else feels this way when they drive? I go back to work tomorrow and I have about a 45 minute commute each way and I’m worried about getting sick 😩. Congrats to any other 12/26 sleevers!! We made an entire week!! I’ll admit at times I didn’t think I would, but we did!!

Awesome! How are you feeling?

Had surgery on the 28th...every day seems to get a little better...jello, popsicles and broth are the order of the day but we're headed for great things!

Me too! When the said “gas,” I just assumed the other end. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m burping a lot!

I am the burp queen all of a sudden, doesn't matter what I eat or drink. Burp burp burp!

Got my sleeve yesterday. Had a rough night with a lot of pain and nausea. Not a lot of gas pains like I thought I’d have, but I am burping a lot. My nurse has been great with bringing me pain/nausea meds. How’s everyone else doing?

How exciting! Mine is on 12/28. We’re gonna rock this!

I’m the 28th too, Twins! I had to do lean meats and veggies last week. Started liquid diet Saturday. I’ve done pretty good at with the hunger craving. I get tired of the sweet shakes, so sometimes I’ll have a V8 instead. I’m cheating right now by eating some cucumbers. I just need the crunch! (They’re 95% Water, right?) 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ah ok. I'll need to tell my daughter that shrimp is called prawns in Australia. She's obsessed with anything Australian from the food, animals, lingo. She wants to go next summer for family vacation!

I think you call Prawns 'Shrimps' in the US.

Noon tomorrow. Wow it goes by so fast!
