Unjury chocolate splendor mixed with Fairlife milk is the only Protein Shake I can drink post surgery (8/20 sleeve). Had to throw all the others away!

For what it’s worth, I bought the Celebrate Vitamins (chewable w/ Iron, tropical flavor) and I find them disgusting. Sometimes they make me gag but they were expensive, so I’m forcing them down. Flintstones taste way better but not as comprehensive of a Multivitamin. Not sure what I’ll do when the Celebrate are gone....

I did try the Celebrate ones when I got them. They’re not great but if I have to do it I guess I have to. My dr didn’t want me taking flintstones, I think because, like you said they’re not what I need.

Officially halfway through my pre-op liquid diet and discovering that I can be quite hard to live with sometimes. [emoji20] 7 days and I am losing my mind. My surgery isn't until the 29th and I am feeling like a neglectful wife/mother for missing so many events this week (my hubby's b-day dinner, my sons team dinner for football, sweetest day dinner with the family and my sons playoff selection team/community cookout). I go, so physically I am in the room, but as I sit clutching my Protein Shake watching everyone else chew their meals, I'm not enjoying myself, I'm just feeling jealous and bitter. (Partially because I had to help prepare this food that I can no longer enjoy in some of these cases.) my husband and I went to see the new Halloween movie this weekend and I cried through it...not because I was scared but because the smell of the popcorn was driving me crazy! I want to stick with this and lose the weight so that I am healthier and more active but I don't want to be this miserable all the time. Does it get easier after surgery, like once you finally transition to normal foods?
Also. when it comes to goal weights, do you have to listen to your PCP in order for the surgery to be considered successful? My husband and I have always had a goal weight of 130-140 in mind for me but, because I am only 5'1" my PCP claims I need to be 115, which I don't feel is realistic considering I haven't weighed that since the 4th grade. If I manage to pull out of this funk and get myself together, I want to know what number I am looking for and what my actual goal is.

Hi kellyp. I had my surgery on the 16th and I feel the same as you, every day gets better. Yesterday was the first day I didn’t need a nap lol! Today I’m going to try to go for a nice, long walk. I’m getting sick of the Protein shakes! I never thought I’d be excited to eat puréed food! [emoji2] Good luck to you!

Just wondering if anyone is as annoyed as I am with the weight loss? I’ve lost 27 lbs overall which I am happy with but 14 of that was pre op. I was sleeved on 10/1 and feel like I’ve should’ve lost more than 13 lbs considering I’m still on a liquid diet (I have eaten small amount of food here and there not much). My eating habits were so extreme pre surgery and I know it takes time but I’m just wondering what the hell is happening. Is it me??

Try the unjury... best I've had so far

October 23rd for me and I too am scared stupid about the surgery.
I have 6 weeks to go so at the 1 month mark I'm going to switch to something like Medifast or Diet Direct liquid foods. Their stuff isn't too bad and it will get me in the "groove" for post op. I'm not a fan of pain meds and from what I've heard it's not horrible. I just broke my wrist a few months ago and was fine. I broke my right had 6 years ago and had to have surgery on it and only took Motrin so I think I got this....
The nickname my dad gave me when I was a kid was "big chief chicken heart". So true.

Hello! I am scheduled for Oct. 1.
I am trying not to freak out. reminding myself of all that [mention=346308]CrankyMagpie[/mention] just wrote...but reason doesn't always outweigh my fear.

Just being honest not trying to be a butt kiss but women are obviously tougher than men I had my sleeve in September and have not used any pain medicine since I got home. 4 weeks out, down 43lbs!! if I can do that all of you ladies can definitely do it, you all have babies for goodness sake lol. being a man if I found out I was pregnant I would end myself today LOL. YOU CAN DO IT...be more afraid of high blood, pressure, diabetes etc. Good luck to all
