Ok Jeanette I have finished my stalking of ur YouTube videos and Instagram! Lol. I'm home sick today so I had nothing but time on my hands. Ur doing so awesomely!! I liked ur videos. They seem very real and down to earth. I hope to have my surgery next month. So the information u share will def be helpful. Idk y but it makes a different to me to be able to talk to and share with people that r close by even if our interaction is just on this forum. I haven't been doing the greatest with starting things I will have to do after surgery - like chewing like 25 times or not drinking with my meals or getting Water in. I know they say it will help to get u adjusted afterward. I'm gonna keep working towards it though. Again congrats on doing so well and ur determination! Oh and did u ever tell ur parents or will it still be a surprise? :-)

Hahaha thanks for the stalking. I always love to hear I can help. Anything you can do ahead of time to help yourself adjust easier after will be great. Cut out caffeine, drink at least 72oz of Water, find a Protein shakeyou enjoy and start replacing one meal a day. My favorite is Premier Protein from costco. After surgery you look at good completely differently. Every choice you make is for the nutrition it gives your body so start paying closer attention to labels on your food or the nutrition facts when you go out because after surgery you can't eat anything with high carbs, high fat or sugar because you can get really sick. Protein will be your best friend because you'll have to get in 60-70 grams a day. It's hard work for sure. But definitely worth it! Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

So ur still on liquids right? Not on puréed yet?

I like the pure protein. I don't have a costco membership and I don't know anyone with one so I can't try Premier but will keep it in mind just in case. :-). I'll look into anyway. How has it been getting all ur protein and Water in?

I'm sure you can find them somewhere else but costco is the cheapest :) I've been on pureed food for over a week now. I'm in transition to soft foods now. I haven't had any problems getting Water or protein in. I've been lucky that way. I am getting sick of drinking all day long when I'm not thirsty though!

Oh I thought it was a costco brand. I will definitely look for it now. I hope to get a surgery date this week then it's all about waiting to hear from insurance. I'm calling my surgeons office Wednesday. All I have are my labs to be done before they submit to insurance; and its a TON of labs!! How is it with puréed foods? Sounds like the weirdest stage of all to me. LOL.

Well everyone I have a date - well once I call back to let them know which date I picked tomorrow. JUNE 5!! They called today to try and said NEXT WED!!! I was like uhhh, uhhh, uhhhh. SPEECHLESS!! LOL. But I don't want to have to go back to work afterward so I wanted it so that I could just take off the last two weeks of the school year and have all summer to adjust to the newness of my coming lifestyle. I can't believe it!!!

      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.
