I know I’m going to wish I could have shakes! Haha At least it’s only 8 days. Lol Since mine is Clear Liquids only, my options are sugar free jello/popsicles, broth, 100% fruit juices, Protein Water. 😬

Also, I’ve developed a rash on my tummy! WTH? NEVER had one before. What timing. He said if it’s not better by next week we will need to postpone. Ugh! I’m religiously using the steroid ointment they gave me. Praying it goes away fast!

I start my full liquids on Monday. I’ve done it before so I know it’s 99% mind over matter. Hoping to get a nice jumpstart on weight loss before surgery.

Hey guys found these at costco for $12.99/15 packets. Amazon is $19.99 for 10 packets. Thought these would be a good alternative to broth in big tetra packs. These are an 8 oz serving and have 10grams of protein!

Finally got my approval. March 20th. It’s becoming a reality, I don’t know if I’m scared or excited! Maybe 50/50 at this point. I’m grateful! Pre-op appointment next week😬

Now that March is here I only have about 12 days and I’m more nervous than excited, but no looking back now!

I'll have to look for these at mine. Were they with the Soups? I'm going on Saturday when I run my errands.. and also the cheese tortillas.. I'm curious to see the nutrition on them although I won't be able to eat them for a long time..They are supposedly gluten free. I don't know if they are literally just cheese or not. I keep thinking that I am done shopping but...

Now I'm drinking premier instead of my robard. My dr. said ok to do half and half I just can't stomach that robard. It's got one gram of sugar in premier which he wasn't happy about but he said ok. I also switched from regular low sodium broth to Bone Broth for lunch today. But on the plus side my scale is dropping fast. It's about 2 pounds a day.

They were in the aisle with broths. Wow, that’s great! Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
