To all September people. You’ve got this!! tomorrow is my 1 week post op and it’s had highs and lows. But I’ve already lost the 9 pounds of surgery weight plus an additional 3 pounds so it’s all good. Water is the hardest I’m averaging about 64 oz but aiming for 100. Make sure you walk from after surgery on. It’s super important and beware of gas bubbles up in your shoulder and neck. It friggin hurts and it’s weird. I’m not hungry. Just a few ounces and you’re full. We are rooting you on Take good care. You are all about to become Gassy and Burpee people.

Frust8 you go in tomorrow?

On our way to Onederland

Me too I’m on board

I made it through got home yesterday surgery was the 29 th and I’m ok other than needing a good bm. On the second dose of MiraLAX so getting my liquids and protein in and fell full constantly. Good luck everyone who had there surgery in August and we welcome September members on the losers bench

Quest protein powder are also. Along powders they gave great recipes on their sight banana bread and more. I love quest good value for the money

I’m one day post op and you don’t want to cheat because if you do the surgery will be more painful I had e pieces of celery 6 days before and I’m suffering gas pain because of it. Sugar free popsicleshelp a lot and so doesV8 juice and PBFIT added to your shakes and dark Hershey cocoa powder 1-2 teaspoon in the milk chocolate protein with some instant decaf coffee makes it like a semisweet drink and it’s thicker.

I was surprised that I had my first protein shake last night. Opti Carmel and it was good. Total of 8 oz and 200 calories 20 protein. Loving the ice and now @ 3:00am hot cup of tea very gentle and soothing.

I’m feeling pretty good. Able to keep fluids up but gas pains up in n my back and shoulder so it walk walk walk sip sip sip burp burp

Me too and just got the call they have moved me to 5 am. So see you on the flip side

Hope all will be well soon. I have 1 day left and tomorrow at 11 am I’m gonna join you all.

Sounds horrible. Pickle juice helps spasms as well

I’m turning 61 in September and surgery is in 2 days. But don’t forget 60 is the new 45

One more day to go then surgery day on Wednesday. Getting a little rattled

Unsweetened almond milk is good too and you can whip it up almost like whipped cream

Sashimi makes for great option from a roll :)

I have 6 days left then on to the losers bench the liquid diet is a mind kitten. If you know what I mean

Down 2 more pounds and 6 days to go was cranky had 12 peanut MNMs so doing without my sugar free pudding tonight and add extra 16 oz water. Won’t mess up again. Mind messes with us but we will win

13 pounds is perfect I’m on day 6- and down 51/2 pounds since last Wednesday. But the last 2 days been at the same weight. Too much sodium in one of my broths. So no more of that one for now. 1 week from tomorrow is the Big Day. And my brain is messing with me a bit.

It’s ok not to like them because they like you. :)

Ok I’m on my 4 th day of 2 week liquid diet pre surgery and feel pretty good have lost 5 pounds already. Keeping calories around 850-1000. And today I’m so not hungry struggling to get up to 700callories. 3 shakes 1 jello 1/2 cup. 1 cup fat free Greek yogurt which I haven’t eaten but did count the calories. 68 oz water and 1 dill pickle. Has anyone else just not be having hungry on pre op ?
