If you have an iphone, it's called "Countdown" real creative, huh? Haha

How's everybody doing today? I think my emotions are really hitting me. I cried over the thought of a couple shirts I have that are too tight being loose in a few months. Crazy Lol

I'm doing great so far but I am use to drinking my Breakfast already. It's lunch and dinner time that may be difficult.

I have had a Protein shake for Breakfast, some watermelon Water, and 1/4 of an organic raw kombucha drink so far.

Did your surgeons say that you had to watch your carb intake during your liquid fast pre-surgery.

I'm logging my liquids on MFP and EVERYTHING has carbs in it.

No...My nutritionist wrote out my meal plan I have 2 shakes a day Beef broth for lunch, 2 Snacks greek yogurt 80 calories, and at night a sugar free popsicle. And as much Water as I'd lke.

We have pretty much had the same thing so far but I opted for chicken broth today.

My husband is kinda fasting with me.. So that makes it easier.

Today has been easier than I expected (so far). I think it's because I have been on the go since early this morning.

I have not thought about food.... Unlike yesterday when that's all I thought about. Lol

I need to get some exercise but I usually end up "thinking about it" but not actually doing it.

Hello all! I'm scheduled for RNY on the 8th. I'm mostly excited, but a whole lot nervous too. My Dr doesn't have me in a liquid diet, just high protein/low carb. Interesting how different the programs are. My dr is at a base hospital tho, maybe that's part of it.

Hi Heather_marie

I'm excited too.... My Wednesday is half way over already. Time has been flying by.

I have instructions for a liquid diet but I was told that I really just have to watch the carbs, sodium and sugar as well.

I am mostly on liquids but I have had chicken once, veggies and fruit.

Monday can't get here soon enough.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
