aubreyj got a reaction from Arabesque in Day 1 Liquid Diet Pre-Op
super proud of you and excited for this part of your journey!
losing carbs was my biggest concern pre-op, and i found myself so focused on it that it made the pre-op and immediate post-op process a lot more difficult. but since then i've learned some important lessons:
- that there are LOTS of carb free things or carb alternatives that are actually incredible (cauli and broc rice - is so good)
- tastes can change after surgery and some things that used to rule my life don't even phase me anymore
- carbs ain't all bad! you still get to enjoy them without guilt whenever you want to/can!

aubreyj got a reaction from Arabesque in Started liquid diet today
first off, i'm super proud of you!
the next few days are going to be hard - but you've got this! you've made this huge choice for yourself, and even getting to this part has been a journey, this is just one of the suckier parts of it!
i had to do four weeks of pre-op with my surgeon, so can promise it's going to get easier and you've got a whole community to build you up if you struggle!

There are some bad dieticians out there. You should not ever feel guilty for listening to what your body needs!

Thank you thank you. I've been afraid to add things because they were so strict on this stage being straight about protein.

Omg thank you so much. You and Aubrey have given me such great information.
Yea, people suck haha.

when i was did puree week, i found that adding a "flavourless" (i mean, it's NOT flavourless, but it's alright) Protein powder (at least 30g protein per serve) to yogurt really helped me.
that and protein powder with low-fat milk and fruit blitzed to smoothie consistency.
proud of you, you can get over the hill!

The Protein Powder + yogurt + some PB2 is an EXCELLENT high protein option. Got me through like 2 weeks when savory foods weren’t appealing!!
You’re doing GREAT Laurent (you too Aubrey)!! You will NOT fail! You’ve got this!! You’ve got a support system here. A lot of people (including me) lose their support systems after surgery because people suck, so this community is super helpful and important in recovery. I’d you need anything PM me. I’m a newb (8 weeks out) but since you’re behind me, I can give you some tips and tricks that got me through the first 2 months!!

aubreyj got a reaction from WafflingWafa in one month post op
sorry! i’m new to this!
so i was at 183kg (403pounds) before preop, 164kg (361 pounds) on the day of my sleeve and i’ve fluctuated between there and 158kg since my surgery.
im 5”10, if that offers any other assistance?
thank you for saying it sounds normal though, i need that
