Oh I like this! I may buy one of them! I am doing well with portion control. Even the cream broths I add bone broth to thin it out more, strain and only eat 2oz which is perfect. It takes about 40min to eat it. I am using my sons old baby food containers when I made his food lol I’m glad I kept them! thank you for your input it helped a ton!

This makes me feel better! My shakes are the highest in calories for sure, I drank 2 yesterday! I see the scale moving, I’m 4days out and have lost 14lbs 😮 I haven’t been this low in weight in sheesh forever! I read on this forum that our nerve endings that tell us we’re full is still numb so I don’t wanna over indulge or go down a slippery slope I can’t get back up from if that makes sense?

My plan doesn’t talk about calories in the beginning the booklet they gave us was 60-80g of protein and 64oz of water min. Then they gave us examples of what foods to eat. My dietician told me stricked liquids for 3days and then starting to today modified but if I got sick or threw up back to clear liquids. I feel good but I feel like I shouldn’t lol! I should be struggling? Obviously I’m not eating what I used to. And my calories are way lower than before this program.

Hi Surgery twin!! I’m not doing as well with water. I got about 30oz last two days! Today I made myself cream of wheat with fairlife FF milk and protein powder. Ended up being 10g of protein 0 fat and 9g carbs for 2oz. It felt so good going down lol! The swelling is not fun! I’m trying to stop my pain meds, they only gave me Motrin and Tylenol. No narcotics so moving is slow but making sure keep moving has helped! Today the goal is 48oz of water MIN! Let’s do this!

Awww no girl soft foods as in yogurt 😂 I have to wait another 2 weeks for all that goodness of food girl 😂

Had my surgery Jan 24th, yesterday I was able to get 32oz of water and 20g of protein down. Tomorrow is day 3 and I am on stage 2 modified soft foods. I’m down 10lbs already but I did have a bowel movement yesterday. The gas sucks! But I was able to walk a block yesterday slowly and got a lot out…then took a 2hour nap afterwards. Today I feel better just sore

I only had to do 1 day liquid diet because I lost 35lbs before surgery at least that’s what he told me. I did have a dietitian meeting however the booklet they gave us is super confusing. I was able to clear it up with the dietitian and she helped me figure it out. I had surgery yesterday and it went well just this gas ugh

I have to do a liquid diet tomorrow (day before surgery) and I am realizing I did not get everything I should for this 🤦‍♀️ anyways my surgeon said liquid diet, protein shakes are ok. That’s it. So can I have my decaf coffee with milk, or yogurt? Fruit or veggie smoothie? Jello? I have broths, Gatorade zero, decaf coffee, water but that’s it.

This sounds AMAZING!

He didn’t, that’s why I asked lol. But I only need to do a liquid diet today (day before pre-op)

I have my surgery on Wednesday and I am TERRIFIED!!! the surgeon went over all the risks and I died inside but I am still going through with it!

me too and I just had my appt my with my surgeon yesterday. He went over the risks and I am TERRIFIED!

absolutely amazing! great job!!

I have been wanting surgery after I finished breastfeeding my son, but my BMI is too high, so WLS will help with that! My boobs are already empty and sad lol I breastfed two children for 16m each and they never recovered 😭 so I’m hoping the little I do have just stay put till I get surgery

I am the exact say way, I am trying to learn to be happy with what I achieve in the now and not keep looking forward to what's next..its been a struggle my whole life

YEP!! I graduate with my business degree this summer. I am terrified about finally finishing school and not having that a part of my identity anymore. Getting a new job in my new body. Will it bring more harm than good to my relationship? What will my kids think? I should be excited but I honestly panicking.

okay that makes sense! oh sheesh A bikini? I don't know if that's even attainable or if I would have enough guts LOL

oh! another question, I thought I read that you got plastic surgery? did you get your boobies done and if so did you top size go up? My goal is a tummy tuck and boobies

good to know! thanks!!

My undies are already getting to fit more comfy so I knew I will need to go on a undie and bra haul too! thank you!

Ahh I always forget Wally World! That'll be a good spot to go too, they have upped their game!

This has been so exciting! I am starting to feel good about myself and more confident. I cant wait to see how the surgery helps me continue my journey!

I am already looking up "what is the trend" because I do not know! I am a tshirt cardigan and jeans type gal at work. On the weekends I am in yoga pants and tshirts, so I would love to buy a few pieces that are like "wow"

Were about the same height and wow you dropped so much in such a little amount of time!! I started about 40lbs heavier than you too. Its encouraging! Thrift or Ross might be my friend too lol
