Calling All August 28Th Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I copied from Skinnypants' August sleevers list:

JLOR, Red597, randgalt, sarahmoni, smvemt78 ,nikkirew, slojo, evelynvsg, Bethany

Who started their pre-op diet today? I've been awake for 4 hours, and all I've had is a SF popsicle. Not doing good. How is everyone else doing?

I started mine today. I'm good so far with just drinking the shakes - i get 4 a day and a low-carb meal. Haven't really been hungry between the shakes and all the Water. But I'm going too have to switch my brand of Protein Powder because I'm not gonna last for 2 weeks with Bariatric Advantage! The artifical taste and gumminess is making me want to puke!

That's great. You'll only feel the pain for a week, lol. I fixed chocolate Splendor from Unjury, and I can hardly get it down without gagging.

I actually started a week ago just to get a jump on it. But today is my "official" start date. I get liquids only for the next 14 days. I'm doing Optifast so 5 shakes a day made with Water or 4 if I use milk. Definitely recommend spacing them out every 3 hours and making sure you drink lots of water. Also for dinner I eat some broth or fat free cream of chicken. Technically I'm not supposed to eat the cream of chicken but I lost 9 pounds last week so it's still working!! Hope that helps.

I didn't do too well today with the Protein Shakes. I drank an Unjury chocolate Splendor and a strawberry Sorbet. I haven't cheated or anything, but I'll have to do something different if I want to make it 2 weeks.

The headaches are pretty bad today, just took some pain medicine and I'm gonna lay down before going to the gym. I tried the Chike banana and vanilla today, and I'm convinced that I won't ever like any of them. I'm force feeding myself, yuck. The liquid diet itself isn't bad, just the yucky tasting shakes. Hope everybody is holding strong.

I had a horrible headache today too. I was drinking the Bariatric Advantage shakes until I realized that the taste and smell of all of the added Vitamins were giving me an instant headache. So I got some Total Lean RTD shakes from GNC and some Body Fortress whey from Wal-Mart and it was all good.

I've done liquid diets in the past, so between 4 shakes and the Water, I'm not hungry. Plus I get one low-carb meal a day and can snack on cucumbers and sugar-free popsicles, so...so far so god for day 2.

My surgery is Aug. 23rd and I am hating the Protein Shakes. They all seem to gag me. I cheated today and ate a piece of sliced ham but it had 9 Protein

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
