I made my first one yesterday!! Soooo delish!!

Oh my goodness that is incredible!! I had my sleeve 12/17 and just today did 17 minutes on the treadmill and that was all I could do. I struggle with energy also but I’m trying to stick to my plan and get my vitamins in—it’s getting better each day! I hope it does for you too!!

Hi Jessica, how is your mom doing?? I’m still a little sore and sleeping a lot, but working hard to get my water and protein in. The hardest part of having surgery done in the time of covid was that my husband had to leave me at the door, I was heartbroken. Thankfully we are past that and moving forward! Thanks for your message, it really made me smile!!

Sleeve procedure on 12/17 eeek: 2 days!! I’ve really, really struggled with the liquid diet, but as much as I struggle I didn’t break down and eat solid food! Tomorrow I get the call for a time to report to the OR —and all clear liquids tomorrow no shakes or cream of chicken soup!! I made it this far, but damn I seriously want solid food!! I can’t believe it’s almost time!!!!!!!

I started my journey at 345 in September, lost 20lbs during the 3 month prep/diet change. On day 4 of my preop liquid diet and I’ll weigh myself before my surgery on 12/17 these past 4 days have been rough but the light is at the end of the tunnel. I worry about rate of loss because I’m older (I’ll be 44 on Jan 1) because I have PCOS and Hashimotos Disease. I know it’s all going to be worth it, but I still worry and worry and we’ll, worry some more!

That’s pretty much the same one I’m on

I totally understand, I’m on day 4 and still trying to cope!! Hang in there!!! When is your surgery date? Mines the 17th counting down the minutes!

Ahhh that’s so awesome!! I haven’t weighed myself yet since starting the liquid diet—I’m just trying not to eat my arm off—lol lol Just kidding—sorta! Day 1 of liquid was bad but today is much better!! 11 pounds is so great! I’m cheering for you!!

Oh everyone is so sweet, thank you--just reading that I am not the only one helps tremendously. You are all wonderful--day 2 is going a little better---I am still waiting on my Unjury delivery (which is the protein shake I like the best) and for now I'm slogging through Muscle Milk and eating Jello like it's going out of style. I know the end game is so much better than this moment and I am just trying to keep my eye on the prize!! Cream of chicken with mixed 1/% milk is my dinner plan tonight--broth and broth for days! I like the crushed ice idea!!

At the end of my first day on the pre op liquid diet and sheesh, i was ok until after work. I’m doing my protein shakes and broth and had tomato soup for dinner but dammnit I’m just hungry. So of course I’m going through the “did I make a mistake?” am I just hangry?” How did you get through it? I know I just need to keep my head down and focus, but tonight was hard, really hard.

Oooh crushed ice is a good idea, thank you!!

December 17th gastric sleeve procedure! Just started pre op diet today (se previous post) so glad to see others in and around this time!!! I’m excited and nervous and here to support anyone as needed!!!!!’ 😀😀😀😀😀
