I'm so excited to finally be at this stage! The only thing I am most bummed about is that my nutritionist said I need to drink regular milk with my Protein shakes because I need the calories :( I have been drinking almond milk or soy milk for years... I will follow what she says though. I'm just excited to July 21st to get here and get this done and continue the next step of my journey!

.... You HAVE to listen to your nutritionist... But mine said unsweetened soymilk is a good choice. I haven't had milk in years and it would make me sick to drink it. Listen to your body as you follow instructions and call her fast if you get sick.

I will call her if needed. Hopefully I'll get through the milk part.. I did ask if it could be skim.. she said 1% was better but skim would be okay.

@Harsha
LOL - so many complain about the Protein shakes - but for those of us who do not drink our dairy the Protein saves the day.

What Protein shake are you using? I'm 3 months post-op and still drink one Protein Shake a day. I used Shaklee pre-op found it chalky. Nurse gave me a sample of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury which mixes beautifully but find it a bit sweet. I'm currently using Inspire Caramel Latte mixed with coffee and 1% milk but I'm getting bored with it....

I like aria and have used a brown rice Protein for about a year. I am worried about using the mandated types suggested by my nutritionist so I have purchased the unflavored Bariatric Pal Protein broth. Thank heavens she allows the protein broth and the joe product as well. It is decaffeinated but has the flavor. If only I could continue my products... But she said there is not enough protein in either of them.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
