are you ditz-ing out because of withdrawals?

What's your go to drink? what do you like to drink that's caffeinated ?

Tummy has stopped grumbling so much but hard to get my liquids in but I've got a water bottle with me all the time and sipping. I assume it gets easier to get your liquid in... Lol.

I have excessive daytime sleepiness, I used to live off monster zero calorie energy drinks of course had to give up due to carbonation and caffeine. I can live without fizz but need that caffeine boost to make it through the day without nodding off.

Get you some liquid multi Vitamins.

My surgeon told me I could have tea right after surgery due to the headache. But I drink it on the weak side. Still mostly drinking water but the tea really helped.

I had my surgery on the 16th and I wish was there was something else to eat other than protein, juice, decaf tea and jello. Give me just one cracker just one. I'm on other medications and they can make u hungry.

Just three days out (I was 10/10) I was able to handle some no sugar added applesauce. Now I'm 16 days out... I can't handle eggs of any kind yet. Scrambled, hard boiled, I tried eating yolks from fried eggs... all sits too heavy. Non fat Greek yogurt also didn't sit well.

Cream of chicken Soup, diluted slightly more than directions, was good. Sprinkled in some unflavored protein. Same with split pea soup. I think any souls you dilute with Water are good... the milk ones are too heavy for me.

My fave Protein shakes are also too thick, so I'm stuck with stuff I'm getting sick of.

Hope this helps some...

I have not had any caffeine since December 1st that was a gift to myself for deciding my life style change was going to work for me. My BMI officially went from 42.17 to 21.76. Following diet is important for this life changing event. To thine self be true. When you cheat your only cheating yourself. For Snacks I have grapes, Water melon and grape juice. They say that the juice will make you fat but 240 to 124 I beg to differ. Water was becoming horrible so I treat myself to juice. please add pinkdrink1993@yahoo.com to the group if anyone reads this really want to participate in the group. Thanks!! Good luck to all upcoming sleevers!! You got this!!

We'll tomorrow is the big day. How are the rest of the 28th peeps doing? I am not nervous about the surgery but doing what I am suppose to after.

Blondie, I started off about your weight. Can you tell me what your weight loss was like in the first 4 weeks,?

Gratz to all today's sleevers. Best wishes and prayers headed your way.

Getting tired of drinking liquids. I was on Clear liquids from Oct 4 until October 24th. I am now on full liquids. but can not add skim milk to shakes. tired of the same old food but still doing well. Living on premier shakes, broth, unjury chicken and unflavored sugar free Jello and popsicles. I mix the unflavored in my crystal light. I still have to be on full liquids for another 19 days. Has anyone else had to do liquids for this long? Wasn't sure if it was just my dr. I need some suggestions please. I return back to work October 31
