June 2019!!! Surgery Siblings!!!
BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery ForumsYou know what honey, these things happen. Cant beat ourselves up over it. Just dust yourself off and pick up where you left off. You CAN do this. I promise. Cheating can be harmful if you go nuts and cheat all day every day but one or two slip ups can happen. Just smile, remember you got this, and a quote I saw somewhere stuck with me because I'm a nighttime binge eater, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I prefer "nothing tastes as good as healthy feels". But either way. You have us to help keep you upbeat

Pre-Op Diet Plan, GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!
My preop diet is: All 3 meals are protein shakes and snacks are sf jello, sf pudding, and sf popsicles. As for what kind of protein shakes, I really love the Unjury kind. They are amazing. I havent figured out my vitamin situation yet. I should find out on Monday if they recommend a specific kind though.

BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AThis is the part I'm dreading. I'm a night eater. I eat most of my carbs and stuff at night and I'm terrified I'm going to mess up when I have to start my liquid diet next Wednesday. Ugh.

June 2019 Surgery Siblings!
BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AI can relate. My 9 year old is super lean and muscular but my 5 year old LOVES food and he literally eats non stop and isn't really heavy yet but I want to nip it while I can because I refuse for my kids to go through the hurdles in life that I had to. If I can help them fight, I will.

June 2019 Surgery Siblings!
BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AMy sons wanted it until I told them it was sugar free lmao. My kids looked at me like I was from another planet and my oldest son said "they make a sugar free kind, what is wrong with them?!" With my healthier lifestyle comes a healthier lifestyle for them too, they just dont know it yet lol

BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AGirl I live in Arkansas so I get you on the heat and humidity. Unfortunately I'm going to have to go walk at the park in this God awful weather because if i put a treadmill in my house, my kids would use it as their own personal toy. I hate the heat and humidity soooooo much

June 2019 Surgery Siblings!
BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AI'm so glad you tried those. I need to get some to try. I saw them at Walmart and wondered if they were any good but didnt get any yet. I saw the other coffee kind they had too and I may try those as well. If I can get protein and coffee in one I'm all for it lol

June 2019 Surgery Siblings!
BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AI've got so much sf jello and sf pudding to make but I dont want to yet. I dont want to get everything prepped and ready and it go bad before I have a chance to eat it. Ugh. I feel like there are a million things I need to get done before surgery so that I won't have to struggle to get anything done post op. So much organizing, cleaning, and prepping that I have to do. Anyone feel like its crunch time now?
