Do you know how much calories you are getting? Just curious.

That's not bad at all. When is your surgery?

My probably pre and post op is sticking to what I'm supposed to. I do good about a few days then cheat big time. I know if I did that and kinda detoxed but took out the fruit I would do good. It's just a matter of sticking to it.

Aww.. My high school bff birthday is the 27th. Mine was yesterday. I keep getting mad at myself and doing better and better as time goes on. I struggled with my fluids now I get in about 90-120oz a day and my Protein is at minimum finally.

Have you tried flavor enhancers like Mio or Crystal Lite? I use the Walmart brand. But I also have an infuser bottle and I've had so much fun playing with the different flavors.

It's a fancy looking water bottle where you can put fruit and herbs in this little container thing to separate it from completely mixing but it gives your Water a flavor without unhealthy additives and extra loaded calories. I've put strawberry, lime, and mint. I've used altogether not necessarily mixed raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, lime, lemon, mint, thyme, and cayenne. It's fun figuring out what I like. my boys also try them. But after the cayenne, they always ask if it's the spicy water.

I lost 15 pounds on my liver-shrink, did it the entire month of August, knew my surgeon found NASH when he examined me in mid-July so I commuted myself to shrink it down. For each week you liver shrink it decreases 2.4% in size so mine decreased between 12 and 15%, and it made it easier for Dr Needleman and less pain for me post-surgery. And I was very proud of ME that I could do it. And you will have your own Pride Moments on your journey, remember not to always judge yours by others, we each make our own kind of 🎶 in weight loss, and it is the Right Song for Each of Us!👈😛👉

I'm judging myself by me. I know what I'm capable of. That's why I get mad at myself. I do so good then mess it up. Ugh. But I need it because little by little I'm doing better.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
