  1. 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!
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. Hi all, I had my surgery 1/24, the first two days I consumed 250-300 calories with only broths and Water. I could hardly choke down a sip or 2 of Protein Shakes. Today I was able to incorporate yogurt and modified liquids. My “stage 2” stats are 64oz of water 72g of Protein, 16g carbs and 11g of fat with 502 calories. I had two “meals” bfast was a 2oz of hot cereal with FF fairlife milk and protien powder, then had protien shake, lunch was zero sugar chiobani yogurt, then had another protein shake. I really want some soup but that’s a head hunger thing. is this too much?

  6. 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!
  7. Awww no girl soft foods as in yogurt ? I have to wait another 2 weeks for all that goodness of food girl ?
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. He didn’t, that’s why I asked lol. But I only need to do a liquid diet today (day before pre-op)
  11. 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.

  15. absolutely amazing! great job!!
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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!
  22. Ahh I always forget Wally World! That'll be a good spot to go too, they have upped their game!
  23. 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!
