My doc said he does the bowl prep to reduce the size of your intestines since he will be messing around in there it helps with space, and if something were to happen there will not be fecal matter to increase infections.

broth has been amazing for me!

Minimal calories but fabulous savory flavor after so much sweet from Protein Shakes etc

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.

This past weekend I made Bone Broth for the first time and loved it!

I'm already planning to make more tomorrow because between myself and my partner I will have to ration it to get through the week! Lol

I need 5 crock pots all going at once to feed our bone broth addiction ! Hahaha

Also, I have been sugar free since Jan 1st and I am now able to eat Splenda! Would have never happened before! I loathed the after taste but now I don't even notice!

Have you made sugar free high Protein Jello?

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.

I have also just purchased the cartons of stock. Like College Inn chicken broth. It's good right out of the carton!

Or , roast or buy a roasted chicken for the family, after you pick off the meat for them toss the carcas in the crock pot, add chunks of carrot, celery etc like your making chicken soup and cover with Water. Let it simmer on low for 12 hours or high for 6 and it will be excellent chicken Bone Broth. Lots of collagen that's good for your hair, nails and joints.

I have extremely long thick hair and I really don't want to lose my hair through this process so I am starting now to try and prevent it.

Just an FYI about the broth...when it cools you will see the layer of fat, it's normal just pull it off and discard and when it cools it's gelatinous like Jello due to all the collagen but once reheated it's liquid again!

Hi everyone!

What a nice place Alex has set up for us here! As much as I love Spotlight and the Yahoo groups, it's nice to have a message board format just for us Bandsters. Let's spread the word!

Had my pre op apt. with my surgeon today. Since I lost a nice amount the past 5 months, I don't have to do a liquid pre op diet (yeah!). Just have to eat responsibly until the 8th.

Pre admission testing next Tuesday and then just the wait until the 9th.

My surgery is Feb. 15th. I start my pre op diet 02-01. I am excited, nervous, and scared. My main concern is the pre op diet. It's liquids and vegetables.

Same date for surgery and same pre-op diet date! Liquids and one small meal for me daily.

That's awesome, I wish I didn't have a pre-op diet - I've actually been on mine for 3 weeks (surgery got pushed back)

Congrats on everything going well 10 days to go and a new journey begins ????

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
