So happy for you. It’s nice to start ticking off all the appointment boxes. It seems slow until they give you your surgery date then it rolls! Use this time to research and set a schedule.

Well, yesterday was so perfect. Today I feel so full. I am getting close to finishing 2 Premier Protein shakes.
need to finish 8oz of flavored water Protein and maybe another 16 oz of Water to meet goal.

My surgery was March 13th. Everything went well. First day was really tough because of nausea. After one round of awful tasting narcotic I requested tylenol which they were able to do through IV. Much better. 2nd day was better but still nausea was biggest problem. They gave me an extra prescription and with the 2 nausea meds really felt better. Got in my walks and was given the option to stay another night , but happy I went home as scheduled Thursday.
It’s Friday and my first full day at home. So far so good! I’m “eating” (full Liquid Protein diet) and drinking and taking my Vitamins plus added Miralax and benifiber to Water. Crazy as it seems a highlight of my day so far was my first post surgery BM 😁...just don’t want constpation as one of my issues😝
so far on track to getting Protein and liquids. This will be my new job for the next month to make my eating /drinking/vitamin schedule my new normal👍🏼😊

Surgery day!
On my way to hospital.
Check in 8am, surgery 10am...all prayers appreciated!
Best wishes for all pre and post surgery pals❤️🙏
Will check back post surgery😊

I love the Premier Protein shakes and hope that my taste doesn’t change after surgery ( which I keep hearing can happen).
My favorite is chocolate with a couple scoops of PBFit...love this stuff. Feels like a PB chocolate dessert!
Surgery March 13th...can’t believe it!

At my pre surgery meeting they emphasized that at 4 weeks or so the largest incision begins to absorb and can cause a muscle spasm. A heating pad will help relieve pain. Call your Dr. , I think there is something they can prescribe for you also.
This info was on my Postiy home instructions.

Else’s, I think you are having normal cravings but...
My surgeon does not require pre surgery liquid diet but nutritionist made it clear that he has refused surgery to those who regain. On the way out of our pre surgery meeting he said I should try to lose 5 more pounds because it helps surgery. I took this to mean, don’t go crazy! Plus I look at every pound down now gives me a head start. I have been told that the more you lose pre surgery is positively correlated with post surgery loss.
I have stuck to the diet that I have been on because this is the new me. At my pre surgery physical I lost 3 more pounds so I am happy. That was a week ago and I have starting a new 20 minute workout each morning so feeling good about that.
I have thought about jelly Beans and those Easter Reese’s but haven’t fallen to temptation yet. Thinking Lent is a good time to prepare for surgery. Prayer and support of friends helps. I am overwhelmed with the positive responses of those I’ve told❤️😊
Elsee, just get back on track today. You can do it 👍🏼😊

Mine is the 13th, but no 2 liquid just Clear Liquids day before. I am keeping with low sugar, low fat, high Protein diet I’ve been doing. I’ve been working on eating post surgery diet so I’m use to it. I often do 2 shakes and dinner or close to it. But I know it’s different when you have to do it.
My surgeon thinks it helps people stay on post surgery restrictions better. I think people who have not lost pre surgery weight he does put on liquids.

Starting to feel real😊 Had my Dr. Pre-op meeting for surgery on March 13th. Going to start gathering all my supplies for post op diet.
Feeling confident and excited...and a bit nervous😉
Best wishes to fellow March surgery pals!

March 13th...can’t believe it’s almost here.

I am guessing your intention was to be funny, but I’m honestly not terribly amused...this feels very insensitive to someone reaching out about something that feels very traumatic.

Bitc*es bring on the treating me differently! I'm ready. I can handle it. I want to be a smokin' hot skinny bi*ch everyone wishes they knew! LOL. With my luck, though, by the time I arrive at my destination thin will be "out" and fat will be the new black.

My last flight was a major reason why I am having WLS! Love to travel but my size has just become too much of a barrier. I am so with you, can’t wait to fit in my seat, and so many other seats!
