hello fellow wls patients! I am so excited, finally after 3 months of denials and trials, I am approved! My surgery is set for January 7th, 2019. Darn insurance really just wanted me to pay the deductible and out of pocket maximum again I know it!

I'm very excited and not nervous at all. One thing that makes my situation different than some, is I am breastfeeding! Shes now 5 months old and about to start some solids next month. Although, mamas milk is number 1 nutrition. My surgeon, lactation support person and babies pediatric dr are all supportive. The main thing for me is fluids, fluids, fluids! My milk never fluctuates even at 500 calories, I eat a lot of protein and healthy fat.

I cant wait for this. I live such a restrictive life with food as it is with hardly any success of weight loss. I only gained 6lbs while pregnant and have now lost 25lbs...in 5 months with breastfeeding, eating under 20 carbs a day. I'm glad I've stuck with it though as it will be helpful after surgery.

anyway, sorry for rambling. I'm so excited!

Ok, my diet is

First 2 day: clear liquids including sf jello and popsicles and tea

Day 2-9 protein drinks, yogurts, cream soups, sf pudding

Day 10-16 pureed foods, applesauce consistency

Day 17-30 soft mushy foods like ground meat, tuna, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs

Btw what's yours starting weight? My consult BMI and weight was :41.6, 226lbs

Current is 38.9, 211

Right now I'm 314, but after the post-op diet I'm guessing that I'll be at 300.

It's so interesting to me how different pre- and post-op diets can be!

Is anyone going to or did eat baby food?

I don't plan on it, but I have heard of people doing this.

Well ****, I'll just mash stuff up because my daughter is starting solids soon so we will both be on puree!
