Dang ...That is pretty tasty pre op diet. Better than most.

Thanks I will start in the morning!!

I need to get into a routine and take some stool softeners or something. I can't deal with that very often. Happy Pooping!

Yeah I had little episode and got a 61/42 reading. It gradually increased over couple of hours. Really weird

Well you did! I will be glad to take Miralax. I was taking stool softeners! OH NO!!!!!!

How much have you lost since surgery?

How much weight have you lost since your surgery?

I've had a couple of episodes of low BP. Has anyone else experienced this?

I delivered 2 large rocks.....just about killed me! DAMN!! It was bad fellas...ROUGH I tell ya!

Thanks...Yeah 60 G of protein and 64 oz of liquid. That's all for the next few weeks.

My wife had a hysterectomy 25 years ago and well...That changed everything. Hopefully losing some weight will inspire here ocassionally

We I am still on full liquids so 1400-1800 calories day would be a stretch

I would find out who the person is that is submitting this to your insurance company and email it directly to them, I would copy her boss or the office manager as well. Highlight those weights and dates. Ask her if she needs anything else. You have what you need it sounds like to me. Don't play nice. Get agressive.

I buy the Body Fortress or Premeir Protein at Walmart, pre mixed. If you have a bullet put in your protein drink or half of the Body Fortress, a scoop of whey protein on top, scoop of Collgen protein and half carton of triple Zero Yogart. Fill the rest with crushed ice and blend. I think they are delicious. I drink 2 of these a day but dont put the protein powder in the second one.

OH WOW! No way I am getting in that amount of calories for a while unless I have some bourbon!

This is good to hear!

My wife is not much of a FF fan. Chick Fil A is about it for her. She wants to be seted and served. Yeah I will tag a long and get an appetizer or salad. Just not a big deal to me but she likes it so we will go!

I hate to even tell this but for folks thinking about backing out, I hate the pre op diet,Is it worth it? Will it work ...etc. I need to tell my story of the last 7 days. Surgery day(2/23) to me was like a blur. The worst part of the day and night was the gas and thirst.TAKE DRY MOUTH SPRAY TO THE HOSPITAL, THIS WAS A GAMECHANGER FOR ME!! I was able to burp the gas out almost 100% before I was discharged. I have not had ny trouble getting my liquids down and really just not had any pain to speak of. I didn't have a BM until a short while ago and that was painful. Like passing a couple of big rocks OUCH!! I took stool softenors, maybe I should have taken more. I went to the doctor yesterday to get some meds refilled. The last time I was there was 1/25/21, 5 weeks ago. I had lost 26 pounds! The nurse said are you losing weight? I said I don't know...am I? She gets all excited and then I told her I had WLS surgery last week.I will say I am fatigued, tired and not much energy. We have a nice gym nere at the condos and I want to go do some 10 # dumbells but too lazy right now. I will get some in today sometime. Do not be afraid to have this surgery. I also had a lap band removed the same day which complicated the surgery but still no pain and now no hunger. I honestly believe I can hit my goal weight in 6 months. 81 pounds in 6 months...if it comes faster or longer I am ok with that too. This has been a great ride so far and I have accepted the change in lifestyle. I have hated to have my picture made for years, you know the tricks, get in the back or between people so that only your head shows.. In a few months that story will change! Do not hesitate to have this surgery. It will change your life for the better!

Thanks...worth a try at some point

Thanks...Any favorites?

Yes this is absolutely doable. I work from home but was back in my office 2 days after surgrery. This may not be common but I had no pain once I got the gas out of me and this has really been incredibly uneventful.

WOW>>>THAT IS INTENSE!! Let me give you something to look forward to in the near future. Yo will have no hunger!

When is your surgery and how long have you been on this pre op diet? What surgery are you having?

I am told Bariatric Advantage. Your Doctor should have a calendar of when to begin taking what.

You can do it! Dr Miles & Schmidt in Bham would not have required this I do not believe. Don't give up. If you are having the Sleeve when you wake up and leave the hospital no more hunger!
