  1. Exactly that one meal of Chinese could essentially undo everything that the surgery has done... The surgery is to completely reset your system and you start day 1 lowest calories highest protein as fluffy said!!!
  2. Do you have a link to your shakes
  3. Yeah my surgery date got put back a month, at first it was a little annoying but it gives me more time to mentally prepare myself. Because once it's done there's really no turning back so don't be so hard on yourself if you need to wait a little longer
  4. Um you can go to an event without drinking... You could be pregnant or allergic or just healthy...
  5. BAD CARBS SODIUM FAT SUGAR AND MSG!!! VERY BAD IDEA heard of someone blending up a pizza lol not good
  6. VSG is a very good procedure 1000s of people have lost weight and kept it off. One guy I know lost 200lbs over 2 years and doing well. It is technically the least restrictive out of all but still good enough for what you need as long as your follow surgeons advice to the letter. Pcp is NOT a bariatric doctor! And IF sleeve ends up Not doing enough it can easily be converted to bypass or DS (Being 5ft2 your ideal weight is like 120?)
  7. Just to finalize everything and to be sure you're ready to go
  8. What exactly is there issue with you
  9. Yeah for those who get upset bellies you need to use pea protein or any natural stuff without the whey milk
  10. Hey people's kinda lonely having a quiet one for my birthday this year saving all my pennies for surgery and buying bulk protein powder glad to have a great group like this to look to for inspiration. got a few tests to do before surgery currently booked for end of October if all goes to plan. besides that it's my birthday 35 years YOUNG the surgery is like a well deserved birthday present for myself ?
  11. Cheers for the feedback mate it's actually my birthday well in an hour it will be
  12. Wait until full foods level keep the calories low as long as you can
  13. Wow weee! My nutritionist/surgeon seem so laxed compared to most. Best of luck! When’s your surgery? Yeah My surgeon wants V.L.C.D Also it prepares you for the first few weeks post op which will be mostly shakes anyway while on liquids so he feels it gets your body and mind set before surgery begins and even shed a few kgs at the same time! Planned for end of Sep but doctor going overseas to train other surgeons so I've been pushed back to end of October so still got plenty of time to prepare myself
  14. Seen this 100x before. It is quite common to go through stalls
  15. Increase your protein
  16. I'll be on 3 shakes a day everyday for 3-4weeks yay ?
  17. Its all about taking time to research better options. Healthier options. If you go out try eat protein like chicken or turkey skin off. Try fish but watch the sauces. Don't be afraid to ask the server about healthier options like gluten free or fat free options, most decent places will cater to you and your needs! If you have a burger just take away the bun and eat the turkey burger with salad etc You don't need to copy your friend if they continue to indulge. You will need to watch your calories long term
  18. Water is more than just Liquid it makes your whole body function better
  19. Always eat protein first that will help fill you up
  20. 5 days all you should be worried about is water and PROTEIN shakes no food
  21. I hope I'll have restriction and lose my appetite. I wish I could live off protein shakes for the first year. Keep the calories low and protein intake can still be up to 100gm a day. I don't even care about eating and I hope the surgery will make it so I only eat to survive not to indulge ever again...
