I don't have to start my diet until February 1st but OMG this is going to be hard. I had a practice run yesterday and fell off the wagon. It was a small slip, but a slip nonetheless and I am sure it's because I know in the back of my mind it is a practice run. I need to have more vegetables on hand.

I am going do lot of prep work with salads and veggies this weekend (make some spaghetti squash with garlic salt and Pam and some seasoned baked Kale chips) and I have plenty of Protein Powder, Isopure drinks, and broth on hand. I am getting more intimidated by this 2 week diet than the procedure itself!

Ok, I'm definitely having broth tonight!!! Who knew me and my sweet tooth would be so OVER dessert-y shakes? I'm on the Optifast Meal Replacements and they're not that bad at all! I just can't anymore.

I am only on day two of twelve and had a cup of broth today and I agree it was amazing!!! My NUT told me I could strain a can of chicken noodle Soup or beef and vegetable soup if I wanted more flavor. There is definitely more broth in my future!

I had my broth about an hour ago and I'm still satisfied. It was sooooo good!!!! I think if I drained chicken noodle I'd be tempted to eat the noodles lol!!! But that sounds really good!

After surgery and my two weeks of liquids, I think I will actually make more Soups when I make dinner for the family so that I can have that as an option.

My surgery is Feb. 9th and I start liquid on the 2nd. Question- can we chew gum- sugar free of course? Before or after surgery?

We're surgery twins ???? minus the 1 week pre-op diet, I've been on my pre-op for 3 weeks now ???? only required to do two but surgery got pushed to the 9th and I didn't feel like starting over

I've been chewing gum and can't imagine why it would be a problem, unless you're a gun swallower ????

Not sure about before but I was told to wait at least 6 months after so the acid production caused by chewing won't harm your healing stomach!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
