I used the equate chocolate which is the same as the premier. But I used it to make a mocha. Whole container and a 8 ounce cup of coffee it’s so good. But heat it up if you store your shake cold makes the coffee like warm at best.

Just got the best news today from post op, it’s on to soft food. I can advance past the liquids to soft protein. Everything checked out at the DR and progress is where it needs to be. What did you do for your first soft meal?

Hello 5th Buddies. I had my bypass on the 5th and things have been so surprisingly great. Got discharged immediately the next morning. Getting in the Water and Protein. Doing homemade broths and tolerating them. I have my first play op appointment tomorrow. Not even in pain which I am surprised by that. I have more knee pains than surgery pains from walking lol. Stay pumped everyone. The honeymoon is in full effect and let’s make the most out of it. I am sure they’re tougher days ahead but enjoy the ride.

Today was a great post op day. I was able to get my walking in around 7000 steps. I got my water and protein in as well. Let’s just say I felt really good for just having my surgery Tuesday. And I even went to the dentist for a cleaning. My energy level is going great. I said that to say All my February buddies you got this and hopefully you feel the way I do.

Well I am headed home. Surgery was a success. Now it’s time to heal and do better. By better I mean make better choices and decisions about my over all health.

It was 326

Good luck to all the people scheduled for today. When can do this

Well today marks the beginning of a new journey. I am heading to the hospital for my surgery. It’s been a great two weeks. Down 20lbs from liquid Pre-op diet and looking forward to shedding this fat suit in the future.

That’s looks a lot like my cart. Were you able to tolerate creamy soups.

Well I’m counting down. I only have 4 days til my surgery. Getting my supplies for post op. Found a b12 and gummy vitamin. Any other suggestions for post diet.

Yes it’s pre. I had my appointment today and now I’m scheduled for Tuesday at 9am

I have been making my own broth with a whole boiled chicken in the crock pot with vegetables and fresh spices. Then I strain everything and only use the broth as my soup. Taste great and filling without carbs and sugars. Sodium might be a lil high but you can control that.

Hello I have the same surgery date. My pre-op is Tuesday. How is the liquid diet going for you. I’m actually embracing mine and losing during it.

So here’s my take. I have all the big five boxes checked. And I am getting bypass done on the 5th. The ampuntnof money I spend on meds and doctor visits and other incidentals pale in comparison. You will you find that thing will balance out once you factor in all the other expenses. The food you eat will help off set cost. It can be done you will have to refocus on what’s important and that’s your health.

This is so exciting. I have completed 6 days of my Pre-op liquid diet. I am down 14 pounds. This has been a great start. I have been varying my shakes and meals with bone broth and tomato soup. The sugar free popsicles and jello are great fillers. Not hungry or no hangry pains. I will say that you have to stay busy on the weekend. And I started walking during the week after work to develop my exercise plan. February 5th is just around the corner.

When do you start your pre op diet? I started today so it’s day 2 now

This is so exciting. I have my date for Feb 5th and I am getting myself prepared. I have my gym membership going and I am actually going. I am getting my routine down so that when I have those 2 weeks post-op I can really make the most out of them

This is something I do not think I would have gotten from the doctor. Great tips and strategies that will have to try.

this has a wealth of information on it this site. Glad I found it!

The excitement is really building up as I get closer. Best of luck to you

Best of the luck to you as well

This is my first post! So I am having Gastric on the 5th. I have been reading and digesting (no pun intended) as much information as I can. I tried the chewable Flintstone vitamin for the first time today and wow I just remember how bad they taste. Has anyone tried something different. I wonder if homothetic liquid vitamins would work better. if there was one thing you would advise me to do before surgery what would it be. I have friends telling me I should eat my last meal that I really love so that I won't crave it afterwards but that's what Kinda got me in this the position I am in now. Did anyone do that before they started their liquid diet.
