October 12th surgery

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?

1 week post op today. It's hard for me to drink the protein shakes. But I can get the water down no problem. 8lbs down in a week and feel great. Hope everyone is doing great.

Two weeks post op guys!! How is everyone doing? Anyone moving on to soft/puréed food this week? How much have you lost?!?

Update for me: doc appt in the 29th and then I will be moving to soft food. I cannot wait!!! To be truthful though I have tried mashed potato and cinnamon raisin granola baby food already. Tolerated both great. But a teaspoon was all I let myself have. Wasn't really hungry but I think it was just curiosity to see how I would do on it....

So far I have lost 20 lbs as of today!! Super excited about that. Coworkers are raving how they can tell in my neck, legs and upper tummy. I still have a tire around my lower abdomen... Still have not went down a size in clothes.. I know it is that mommy bump that doesn't want to shrink!!! But I am still very happy so far!

Way to go!!! I have my 2wk post op visit with the surgeon too and I'm moving to soft/pureed food this week. I am so excited to have some variety! I'm struggling with getting all the protein down, but dropping weight. I'm down 36 lbs since preop and 15lbs since surgery. That part feels really good:)

Astrogirl did you have gas pains

I did not really have gas pains.. I did have gas buildup that caused me to burp quite a bit but found that taking the gas X helped a lot! Pain was never an issue with me though.
