That's excellent CC!! You and Jen are really kickin it. Does the warmer liquids seem to go down easier than cold or does it matter?

Yes! I like the warmer liquids better than the cold and definitely the water! If I add some lemon juice to my Water I can drink it just not plain. The morphine made me achey and pukey after they took it away yesterday but much better today and at home!

I was so much better after they took me off the IV pain meds. I seem to like both the hot and cold liquids. Ice pops and broth have both been nice to my new tummy.

Well shame on your brothers for belittling you! And you WILL show them.

You rant all you want. This pre-op diet is so hard, I'm on day 12 and, while it has gotten easier, I definitely have my weak moments. And I literally dream about food. No lie.

Good luck and we'll be here for ya.

Good deal. I'll have to remember lemons when I go shopping. I'm reading that sometimes cold cramps up the new little sleeve so was seeing how it was with you. So glad you're doing better today.

Hey all! I go in to surgery Monday feb 17th at 11 AM! This clear liquid diet is a little harder than my 2 week preop diet! It's kicking my butt at the moment! Got out for a little bit And did some shopping. Resting at home now, first thing when I turned my tv on was a restaurant commercial!!! Ughh!! Is it Monday yet ?? Lol

Hi Glad I found this thread.....i am on day 4 of pre op diet. Surgery 25th. Cannot believe it has been 8 months since I started down this slope! Almost there!! You all keep posting after your surgeries so i know what to expect....i really am in disbelief that I am almost there. The liquid diet keeps reminding me this is real!

I have not shared this surgery with anyone but my husband. I know my brothers, who have never had a weight problem, would criticize and belittle me, as they always have, because of my weight. One brother even made fun of our mom because she was heavy. He was always trying to tell her what to eat, then tell everyone about all the bad food in her cupboards. Well, mom passed away a short while ago( COPD), and am I here, big as life, to make my brothers eat crow! I will be thin AND healthy! You know, the funny thing about my critical brothers, is they both thought their personal appearances were important enough to have rhinoplastic surgery (nose jobs) in their twenties. I, however thankfully, was blessed with a cute, albiet fat, little nose..... I am having weight loss surgery to be stronger and healthier. If I happen to look good as a result, what a bonus!! Sorry for the rant. I must be in the liquid pre-op diet crazy stage! Keep posting folks! It is soooo encouraging!

Good for you! We have surgery the same day!

Pretty good. I have had a little bit of gas pains today but I'm moving around a lot which does help. I will say a prayer for you Monday. It's almost here. Remember, surgery is the easy part. Lol. The recovery is the hard part! It's been tough not being able to pick up my daughter. She just doesn't understand. She just threw a mini-fit at my feet. I just have to stand or sit there until my husband can get her. Poor baby :(

SuperFab which unflavored Protein do you use? I know you've mentioned it before. I have the Bariatric Advantage (I know you can't use that) and I like theirs but its slightly sweet. So I can't mix it with savory things, like that oh so fabulous chicken broth. Lol.

Glad to hear you are doing Good!! I am sure as the days pass it will get easier and easier for you!! Thank you in advance for the little prayer! I definitely appreciate it! I have never had any surgery so I just have experiences from you guys to go by! The endoscopy was the most I have really had to do medically. Awww your poor little one! I am a preschool teacher so I totally understand sometimes they just need some extra love. My surgeon has given me strict directions to not pick up any kids or anything like that.. so I totally understand :)

      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.

      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!!
