I made a group called "December 2016 Sleevers!" I would love for everyone who has a surgery date in December to join! lets be a great support system for each other and go on this journey to a better us with great friends. Share our success and failures along the way, cheer each other on, wether you already have support from your family and friends or from nobody at all like I've unfortunately seen from some, lets make sure we definitely have each other to lean on! btw they say you normally gain weight around the holidays, are we crazy?! haha

I thought carbonated beverages were a no-no including ginger ale. I also see people singing the praises of Gas-X Strips, but my nurse said they are a band-aid for the gas when, in fact, the gas needs to come out not be suppressed. Thoughts?

my nut said technically. Not to make it a habit. The gas c was not helping me. My two little sips did help get some the gas out. I know my body. My nut also said as long as it is not a habit. She was very happy that I could finally could get some of the gas out because I was in a lot of. Come to find out I had a new issue brewing

Really?! No soreness or gas or anything? That's awesome. I'm on day 5 and still very sore with lots of gas and sometimes nauseous

@@Powells95 I was confused about the gas strips too. I was told we could have ginger ale if we let it go flat before we drink it.

@@Juliafinallylosesit I am on soft foods now but I am struggling to get my Protein in. I think I should get some flavorless protein to add to my Soups.

Well Everyone,

Tomorrow morning is my big day! I'm really excited, I'm doing more cat napping than really sleeping, but I figured this was probably normal seeing how my adrenaline is pumping so much! I got on the scale yesterday morning, and with this clear liquid diet, I have already lost 11 LBS, from 266 down to 255. I can even tell in my clothing that I have lost weight. I know this is just the beginning of BETTER THINGS TO COME!!! YAY!! Task for today is to PACK my small bag for the hospital & big bag for my stay at my daughter's after leaving the hospital. I will do my best to check in with everyone BEFORE & AFTER and I continue to pray US ALL success on our journeys. Have an amazing day!!!

Are you still doing the shakes? Let me know how you do with protein and what you mix it in and how it goes down!

I started out on the soft food stage, and am doing good. My meals can only be Protein (eggs, cheese, soft flaky fish, chicken, etc.), and I have to do one shake per day.
