I forgot we could have beef jerky. I might have to pick some up.

I was looking at those as well.

So I bought some inspire protein crunches and they don’t taste great. Has anyone tried the Quest protein chips? I am looking for between meal snack or things to keep in the car just in case. Or that time I want something with a crunch besides pork rinds.

What a great article. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning and happy new year. I was sleeved on the 18th. Saw dr this morning. 20lbs down and ready to try puréed food. Looking forward to tasting food again.

So I’m 2 days post op and I am in so much pain. The walking helps a little. I get a gurgling sound every time I sip my water. Keeping hydrated seems to be my problem. Especially when all I want to do is sleep.

I haven’t kept it a secret. I decided that if they don’t support my decision to get help to get healthy then that’s fine. I’ve been lucky that friends, family and coworkers have been extremely supportive. It’s made this journey a lot better. Gotten a lot of well wishes today as my surgery is tomorrow. I think I needed this for my journey but I understand why people don’t tell others as well. Good luck.

I’m 43 and I’m doing mine on 12/18.

I'm pretty nervous as well. Both scare me, but I'm more worried that they will delay my surgery when I get weighed during pre-op on Monday. I've had 9 months to lose as much weight as I can, and I've lost weight, gained weight and I believe right now I am only 3 pounds lighter than I was at my last weigh in this past April.

My surgery is scheduled for the 18th of December. I seem to only have to be on clear liquids on the day before my surgery. But I see my nutritionist again on the 10th.
