It's getting close! Anyone else scheduled on the 12th? I stated my liquid diet.. So far it's horrible:) nothing but liquids - has to be 15 grams of Protein and less than 6 grams of sugar in the shake.. This doesn't leave a lot of choices so I have stuck to the same two shakes all week, it's getting boring and all I can think about is food:( bleh!

Anyone else going through the liquid phase?

I'm scheduled for the 12th and on a moderated liquid diet. I'm okay with the occasional hunger pains but I miss my energy. What kinda shakes are you using?

I'm on the 12th too!! I don't have liquid diet, I just have to stay below 40 carbs a day. I shouldn't say just because it is surprisingly difficult! I am using a low carb Protein drink for one meal a day to get in the habit for after.

Mine is the 12th as well and I have been on a full liquid diet since September 21st. I am drinking Premier Protein shakes, they are really good! 30 grams of Protein and 1 gram of sugar and if you don't drink want for 30 to 45 minutes after it keeps me full for a while! They also have snack bars that my NUT told me I could have if i was really hungry but I have only eaten two since I started and I have way more energy than I used too:)

I'm scheduled for 10/13 and started liquid diet 9/29 but for the two previous weeks was on two shakes and one meal eat day. That "weaning" in really helped me adjust to the full liquid phase and I have not had any problems so far. Most of the shakes have an after-taste and need "doctoring" to make them drinkable. I've found warm broth mixed with unflavored Protein Powder with some Mrs. Dash is quite tasty. I also like making hot cocoa with the chocolate Protein is delicious. Just be sure the liquid is below 160 degrees so it doesn't curdle.

I'm on the 12th as well! It's finally getting real! I'm counting down the days and trying to get everything prepared. Is it just me, or is surgery all you can think about? I feel like I can't concentrate on much else lol.

Same for me! I think I have watched a zillion you tube videos on post op. It's starting to really get real!! I have so many meetings this week that I hope it makes my days go by quickly!!

Oct 14 here--I've been drinking Premier Protein as well and when I want to switch them up, I add SF coffee syrups (Torani or Skinny Girl). This morning I added Brown Sugar Cinnamon Torani to my vanilla shake and it tasted like a cinnamon roll *mmmmmm* I also add coffee Creamers (1T is NUT-approved) and that helps too.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
