Good afternoon everyone,

Went this morning for my post op appointment. It went great! I am down 15lbs since last Wednesday when I was wheeled in for the surgery. So a total of 28lbs lost. Very happy about that! I am almost making my 64oz a day of Water. I managed for the first day yesterday my Protein drinks. I got one full EAS carb count down. Tried the Isopure pineapple-orange, dear God that's nasty stuff. Got 4oz there. Finishing that off quick and that's off my check list. I asked about having broth-nope that's out. Reason is the sodium-either low or regular will cause weight to stall or climb. Ok-good with that too. I asked about breath mints-because being a ketosis, bad breath is aweful. So Listerine disolving tabs it is. Fine with me as I really like them! My next appointment is March 7th and until then, still Clear liquids and Protein Drinks. So it's all good.

Best news to me anyway was when the bandages came off. Underneath, no stiches or staples to be removed. My surgeon used Dermabond. I love him-he saved me from being even more uncomfortable!

So to Celebrate, we went in to the mall and walked! I walked 2 miles today. It felt amazing! I have so much energy. To reward myself-I bought a Fitbit and smaller pants at the sporting goods store-still going to need stretchy stuff until I am healed from the surgery. But I am now in a XL-1X depending on the cut.

So that's my news! It's been a beautiful day-even if it did snow.

Good for you!

That is all awesome news. My 1st post op is tomorrow, and I am hoping for great results as well!!!

Congrats!!! That isopure is gross!! I had to drink 4 total , 2 a day for my clear liquid pre op diet and I would just cringe when I drank it! No matter what flavor it was all bad!! Lol

Lauren,

Got any tips other than that nasty Isopure? Who ever thought that had good flavor in that company needs a reality check. I've got the EAS AdvantEdge carb control. In chocolate Fudge. I need to mix it up a bit-I love chocolate don't get me wrong. But 3 weeks on chocolate only?

I have only tried the premier protein shakes in chocolate, which I highly recommend! But like you I have wondered geez I am gonna get tired of chocolate! They do make a vanilla and a strawberry one which I plan to try but haven't yet! Once I do I will def let you know ! If you try anything that's good let me know as well please
