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!

Pudding counts towards liquid right? I haven’t tried that but I can add unflavored protein and kill two birds with one stone. I want to eat soup....but no protein in it and adding the powder does not do well. But...I hear liquid first above protein so maybe I shoudl try. Has your doctor said what signs to watch for in a leak?

I was told protein first but I’m getting liquids in all day. I believe pain, fever and some other symptoms.

If you let the soup cool down a little then add the powder it won’t turn to a jelly.

Hi All!
I’m scheduled for a bypass on August 28. Getting excited! A little nervous - but not too bad. ❤️

Congratulations on getting so CLOSE to your surgery date, my RnY. will be just a week later on September 5th. Big changes coming in both our lives.

Tomorrow is my day! I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am for my gastric sleeve surgery. All prayers and good vibes appreciated!!! See y’all on the other side!!

I am scheduled for August 30 and I can't wait!!!

Hi everyone, I had the gastric sleeve surgery done on August. 3rd. So far post op I have lost 10lbs. I started at 212 then with the liquid diet, I went down to 207 and now I am 198 but I guess I could have take off two-three pounds for the clothes.

I definitely had a non scale victory because I bought a pair a jeans a few month back and couldn't fit into them. Today they are a lil big. So I guess something is happening. I am extremely tired a lot of the time. After one week I came back to work. I sit a desk most of the day so I went on You Tube to get exercises we can do at your desk. I also did some yoga. My office a private and pretty big so I am thinking that as soon as my doctor clears me, I should get some nice workouts in before going home.

I am struggling with getting enough liquids in and with getting my proteins. Today I decided to make my own protein shake and I got half way through it before feeling overly full. I hope to be eating soft foods after this week. I haven't had a post op visit with my surgeon yet. My next appointment is Aug. 30th which I thought is too far ahead but I guess the doctor knows best.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Hi everyone, I had gastric sleeve surgery Aug. 3rd. I am so done with this liquid diet. I can't even drink 64oz of anything let alone get more than a half of a protein shake in. At least my pants that didn't fit are now lose. LOL I hope everyone has a great surgery.
