My goodness , my energy level is in the toilet. Uh , my feet and legs feel like cement blocks are attached.

I am day 3 into my pre-op diet and feel so drained! I have 4 kids and zero energy. Not a good combination...

No energy and 4 kids , oh my.

That's a challenge. How is the Oreos diet going.

I can def see your progress! I see a change in your face, as I do in my own, it's amazing how fast some of this occurs!

I am breathing far better today, and guessing I am on the other side of this. Hoping that I will def be able to add some mushy/mashable food starting Thursday, 3 weeks is long enough. Still having periods of exhaustion, though I too have been back at work on my feet all day ????. Still Struggling to get more then 4 days a week of additional walking in.

I'm so glad you are breathing better.. How scary this must have been!!! Keep using your spirometer thingy and take care of yourself ok!!!❤️????

I definitely put my A$$ in action today, and worked out... I'm proud I did it ????

Hey salonboi. Great pics. Can see the difference. It is amazing how quickly see results.

Awww thank you very much.. ❤️ I needed to hear that today. I have a support group to go to tonight.. I'm kinda nervous, and excited about it too!!!

General question!

When did you all start to see a slow down of your weight loss?

I'm losing 1 pound a day now, which is still GREAT, but I was losing 2-4 a day so of course that fact is a little depressing for me, haha

I've been losing a pound or two every few days or so. Nothing crazy yet. I'm in a slight slow down now. ???? but I know it'll move the right way soon lol.

I had gastric bypass may 18th! I know this sounds weird but the surgery hasn't fully hit me yet. I've noticed that my doc put me on pureed foods wayyyyyy before alot of folks. I put beef stew in the blender today and it was amazing lol I stay scared that I will consume too much tho... it takes me 45 min to an hour to take in 1/4 cup....is that too much?!?!

Congrats on being on losers bench, and I was about 30 mins per 1/4 cup food. I use an app to time my eating. Good luck ????

Hi all. Been doing great. Got all my Protein and Water in easily. I thought I was done with the liquid part on next mon but my paper work says 3 weeks of that and the 3 weeks of pured... ugh lol but I see my surgeon next week so I'll ask him about it.ive now lost 25 lbs since surgery.

Highest weight : 530

Surgery weight : 424

Surgery date : 5.11.15

Current weight : 399

Wish I could say the same. Having a hard time getting protein and fluids in. If just protein or just fluids , I can do it. But both is difficult.

Your doing well with your weight lose. Feels so good to know the weight is coming off.

Using LiquaCel in my water knocks both fluid/protein right out. 16grams of protein per 1oz shot, so I double up on shots in my water.

Weighed myself this morning. ( I weigh every Tuesday morning ) I lost 6 lbs this week. Down a total of 28 pounds from my highest weight.

Continue to have no energy. Struggling to get food , Water , and Protein in. Other then that , all is ok.

LiquaCel Concentrated Liquid Protein, sugar-free Lemonade, 32oz Bottle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H2LGBU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-hkzvb0H75H74

The grape flavor is yummy. The orange is good, but slightly medicine tasting. I've not tried the lemonade yet, and peach/mango was really good ???? I hope this helps someone out.

It's like crystal light in your Water, but those favors. And they have a peach/mango flavor not shown.

Oh and I decided to get on some antidepressants and anxiety meds. I think I need that extra help through this journey. I've dealt with both issues off and on since my teens, and this whole no food I love business is doing a number on my head. I'm ok don't think anything like that, just know my mood is changing, and it's unfamiliar territory with this surgery change, to my body. I just don't want to gain my weight back after I go through all this.

I say good for you for knowing you need a little help and getting the help you need. ????

Wait...WHAT???!! THERE'S AN OREO DIET??? Hahahaha! That made me giggle this morning. Thank you!

Pre-op diet is going ok. I'm not required to do a liquid diet but I have to stay under 1500 calories which hasn't been too bad. I have opted to do some Protein Shakes instead of certain meals.

One more week and one day!!!!! Today I am VERY excited but I've gone through many emotions the last few days. (TMI) I started my cycle this week so it's not helping with my energy level.

Thanks for asking and the morning giggle!

Congratulations ???????? that's awesome ???? the no energy part six ????, but I know it'll get better soon.
