I agree w the GENEPRO suggestion. I have been putting it in Tomato and broccoli cheese Soup as well as pudding. Can’t taste it at all. When I put it in soup I put 1 scoop into a half cup of soup for 30 gm of Protein. You can get it at GNC if you need it quicker than ordering online.

Y’all I’m down 6 lbs from surgery (I had to lose the 9 lb iv fluids gain also) and 22 pounds since starting the liquid diet on 1/21. I am ecstatic!!!!

Good luck!! I wish you an easy recovery and lots of weight loss!

Hey surgery buddy! Wow I’m so sorry things didn’t go quite so smoothly for you. I so glad you are back home. I wish you immense success from here on out!

Drink a little Pickle Juice. It helps w keto flu

OMG! pudding is so awesome after being on liquids for so long.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give an update. My surgery was yesterday at 730am. I was discharged home at 930 this morning. I have 6 incisions. The 2 on the left are bruised. This bruising is causing pain when I have to turn on my side to get up. I am sore today, not really pain. I haven’t had any nausea. Today I stayed indoors and just did my walking in the house. Tomorrow I plan to get out and walk my neighborhood if the rain holds out.

I do have pain in my left shoulder. I’m guessing from the gasses they fill you abdominal cavity with. It’s so strange because I would swear it’s muscle pain from sleeping wrong. I can pinpoint muscles that are hurting. The heating pad helps a lot.

I go to full liquids tomorrow. I’ve already made pudding and put it in the fridge. I also have several cream Soups and a good strainer.

So far so good. I plan to weigh tomorrow. I know I gained weight from the fluids in the hospital. Each liter bag is 2.2 pounds and I got at least 3. Good luck to everyone still waiting for their date to come!

Finally in a room. Surgery went well. I passed my drinking test so I can advance to Clear Liquids. They won’t let me have broth for some reason, just Jello. I hate jello.

I know all the feb 5th people are getting excited! I just have to throw a couple things in my bag in the morning. I have my chlorhexadine wash for tonight and in the morning. I have to drink the apple juice tonight and in the morning then off to surgery. Getting super real!

That may be low blood sugar. I had a few episodes in the beginning of my pre op diet. Do you take BP meds? If so start watching you blood pressure. It may be dropping low. I’m assuming you aren’t diabetic because the surgeon would have put you on a modified diet.

I had my final pre op appointment on Wednesday. Surgery is just 4 days away! The night before surgery I have to drink 30oz of either apple or grape juice or regular Gatorade. I have to do another 15 oz over 10 minutes 2-3 hours before surgery. This is to help the body regulate blood sugar better and not have highs and lows while the body is dealing with the surgical trauma. I also got a bottle of chlorhexadine to bathe with the night before and morning of surgery. Cuz you know, infection is no bueno! I already have my Vitamins in my big ole dispenser. I have my liquids for after surgery. I think I’m ready.

I was told no on fruit bars. Popsicle also makes sugar free tropical flavors

Crap. I forgot about that. Definitely going to need bras. I never had boobs until I got fat. I’m guessing they are going to disappear along with the fat. Oh well....worth it

My RNY is scheduled for feb 5. I have back to back cruises scheduled in June so I’ve been saving money for new clothes. I started thinking that I am going to just buy the minimum for the cruises and continue to save for a reward wardrobe later. My reward for reaching my goal is going to be an appt with a personal stylist at Nordstrom’s. I’m still working on coming up with rewards for smaller goals. My goal is to lose 135 pounds. I was thinking rewards at 50 & 100 pounds lost then goal reward. Any suggestions?

I think I mentioned this on our February weight loss buddies thread. The Unjury chicken Soup flavor is basically broth but with 20g of Protein. It has no gross whey taste. It tastes much better than the broth I was drinking. I can not recommend this enough!!! It has been my life saver during the pre op diet because of the disgusting when taste so many Protein Drinks have. Go to Unjury’s website. There is a number you can call if you want an expedited order.

Take it at bedtime. Usually it will work over night and you will go in the morning. Also, may get some discomfort from the bowel stimulation. Easier to deal with discomfort if you sleep through it.
