Hey all! There are sooo many topics out there and the one I see for August was for last year! Let’s discuss, the good and the bad! I am having my surgery in August. I have one more supervised visit and the off the insurance I go!

Anyone losing weight on the liquid diet ??

I had a week where I had 5 days of regular food (but I was doing low calorie, high protein, low carbs) and 2 days of liquids and I lost 6 pounds. Then I lost another 3 pounds in 2 days doing liquids. So it seems to be working pretty well.

If my hunk of junk scale I have at home is correct I have lost 13 to 15 pounds. Stepped on it 3 times got 3 different numbers. Which would make me down a total of 30 pounds before surgery with 5 day to go.
I get to eat green veggies though, so it’s not all liquid. Haven’t had more then 300 calories all week. Protein shakes aren’t really shakes I mix isolate whey protein with water only. If I could get to 40pounds down before surgery I swear I will do a somersault. Haha ? not really.

Anyone know of A good brand for a scale? It would be nice to have an accurate one during this process. Though I don’t really weigh myself.

I have two hippih and healthometer they are close enough when I weigh in but my favorite was weight watchers that scale was right on.

@KRush88 weight watchers is the one I have. ? It’s 3 years old it’s been sitting in my closet for a long time. Maybe it’s broken. Gives me a different number every time.

@KRush88Thank you. I will take a look at the other two.

MINE SEEMS TO BE WITHIN A POUND OR TWO OF THE DOCTORS SO ITS FINE

Aww man! I think all my scales are off and they are never the same as the doctors scales. I just weigh in every Monday. If it say the same the times then that’s what I take. I weigh on two scales to see the difference.

I had mine August 2 and was discharged August 5. A week post op certainly feels better than my first day off the pain pump (2nd post op day), but I am resting much better at home, tired of all of the sweetness of protein shakes, as I am not a sweet eater anyway, and SO looking forward to that first soft scrambled egg! I started with being up a few hours tiring me out to being up most of today folding laundry, doing dishes, cooking a meal for my daughter, and some general organization. Also, for a flavor oriented, savory eater, it is AMAZING what a couple tiny tastes of mustard on my tongue did for my attitude!

THANKS FOR THE UPDATE KAHKEETSEE 21 DAY I HOPE TO HAVE AN UPDATE AFTER MY SURGERY
