I have a can that I will bring. I also have some Special K Protein Water packets. I think they are strawberry kiwi. They are too tangy for me. I am on a huge peach kick and nothing else tastes very good. Diet Snapple Raspberry tea is about the only other thing I drink besides Water, hot/iced tea or milk.

All packed?????

Does it not taste good because your tastes have changed because of the surgery?

I am!! Thursday was my last day of school. So now I am just trying to wait it out. I KINDA started packing. Not much , mostly I was trying to clean up my room, I am sure I wouldn't want to deal with it when I come home so I took care of it before I left. I went on a relatively large shopping trip to GNC and Walmart to get stocked on SF Popsicles and chicken broth. I am gonna do a video Sunday of what I am taking along with me.. and maybe one before that giving measurement and a weigh in...At this poing I am looking for anything to keep me busy ....Getting a little nervous....Starting to eat everything in the house, but mostly excited = D

It seems very strange - however it is true. It really surprised me. Before surgery, I also drank Fuze Tropical. Can't get thru a whole bottle now. I have not been able to do citrus for about 5 years when my stomach got sensitive and I had my gall bladder out.

I would suggest not buying too much of anything before surgery and seeing what tastes good afterwards.

Also, I loved cottage cheese for the first couple of weeks after surgery - and now it isn't appetizing at all. Maybe I just had too much??

yep : ) I am flying down for the big event. Will be interesting to see it from the other side. And I am anxious to see the new facility.

I am also going to make sure she doesn't sneak any ice chips early! :sad0:

Yeah, don't invest in anything until you get home. I was all gung ho on muscle milk until I got out of the hospital. Bleh. For about a week, everything smelled like smoke to me. (odd, eh?) Nothing smelled or tasted good.

This past week I have started to add in some muscle milk to my diet to up my Protein count and while I can keep it down, it is much harder than before the surgery.

Good luck ladies! Can't wait to see you on the other side! :sad0:

Yeah so far the only thing I have purchased is that one thing of vanilla, and I made sure to get it from GNC cause you can exchange there with a receipt! = D Vanilla generally lends itself well to other flavor and wouldnt take much to make it taste like something nice lol ...ugh seriously my surgery cant get here soon enough now = /

How fun!!! My travel buddy has had a family emergency. He has a family member in the hospital that may or may not make it. He is feeling like he needs to stay close to home (understandable). :thumbup:

If his person improves he will come but I may be on my own. I'm actually okay with it. I'm a very bad patient.... typically just want to be left alone. It just gives a little piece of mind to have a friend there.

Honestly.... He is a big 7'3'' guy with a huge charasmatic personality. He charms everyone everywhere he goes and I was looking forward to him endearing himself to all the doctors and nurses. Oh well. I backpacked the Colorado trail one time - 2 weeks - just me and my dog. I suppose I can do this too.

You guys will have a great time... well... you will.... tiff will have a great experience... I'm just not sure if I would call it fun :wink0:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
