Jenn, great post. Have you tried semi-final your Protein Drinks or getting shaved ice to crunch on? Might help. Good luck on your continued road to recovery.

Jenn, great post. Have you tried semi-freezing your Protein drinks or getting shaved ice to crunch on? Might help. Good luck on your continued road to recovery.

Surgery was on the 13th and I'm not going to lie-recovery for me has been rough. I was in post-op care for 5 hours due to high blood sugar, high blood pressure and low oxygen. I was out of it most of the first night. Back pain came in on first day post-open but walking helped that! I still rely on pain meds-not sure if I'm getting all the Protein that I need, but am trying. Incisions hurt a little. Looking forward to this phase in my rear view mirror.

August 25th here. I started my pre surgery diet August 11tg. I've lost 7lbs. This part hasn't been too bad. I think the fact that I believe/know if I don't stick to it it will be harder on me or worse they won't be able to do the surgery. I do think about not being able to eat my favorite foods. I believe in time and in moderate proportion I will be able to eat them and I'm counting on the surgery to limit the amount that I can have. I also know that to stay healthy and keep my hair I have to eat plenty of Protein and some fats and stay calm. As someone told me don't worry about the things that you won't have remember all of the things that you're gaining. Good luck to all you Augusts levers I'll keep in touch.

My surgery is scheduled for August 25. I began my presurgery diet August 11, I've lost 7 pounds. I think I've been able to stay on the diet because I realize if I don't it will be harder on me or worse yet they won't be able to do my surgery. I'm a meat eater so eating mostly Protein isn't a problem for me. I do think about not ever having my favorite Desserts again or a slice of pizza but in time I think I will be able to eat them in moderation and exercise. I was told not to worry about the things I won't be able to do or I'm giving up but to think about all the things I'll gain. One reason I've never been able to stick to a diet it's because I'm generally healthy and the weight didn't inhibit me it is doing that now I'm having difficulty standing or walking in the long distances. Now my weight is a health issue because of that and I believe I'll be able to stick to the diet if I think of my health and what the alternative might be like death, lol. Good luck to all my fellow August sleevers let's all keep in touch.

my surgery is tomorrow so glad it's almost finally here I just want to start on my new beginning

[amorga 35]

Post-op day five and I'm hoping the incision pain gets better soon. I practically have to give myself diarrhea (TMI, sorry) in order to have a BM cause it's too painful to push. This may sound crazy to some, but I'm so looking forward to the puree stage so I can get more Protein in with less volume. It takes me 4 hours to get down a smoothie of Greek yogurt and a half cup of milk. I feel I spend all day trying to get my protein in that it doesn't leave much time for fluids. One thing I'm super happy about is that I've lost 4.5 lbs since surgery day. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery!
