Batty!!![emoji31]
Now I really feel deprived. But it's all good though...[emoji57]
My Days since Monday are as follows:
Morning
Protein shake
Lunch
Protein shake
Dinner
Protein Shake
And if I get real creative I throw in at least 64oz of Water between shakes.[emoji25]
I'm trying to take advantage of the unlimited liquids. I was surprised they let me have one meal of solids, although I can't really deviate from the plan. The chicken stock helps -- it at least tastes like food.< br>

Had my final tests and class before surgery today. Now I wait for my call Monday night to tell me when my surgery is on Tuesday. Can’t believe I made it here. This time next week I will have a new belly.
I'm on week 3 of my Pre-op diet, and set for surgery next Tuesday as well. Make sure that you send updates@djgirl19!

Breakfast: Premier Protein shake with unsweetened almond milk

Coffee with SF Creamer (on some days)

Lunch: Premier Protein shake with unsweetened almond milk

Dinner: Premier Protein shake with unsweetened almond milk

*Notes: I just started drinking the Premier Protein Clear drinks to my plan. They are good, but super sweet, so I add some Gatorade Zero to them. I don't like the SF jello or the chicken broth that I have tried. I drink plenty of water, Powerade Zero, and Gatorade Zero in between meals.

I just made some for tomorrow. I also ate a sugar free popsicle. The popsicle helped with the need to have something textured.

Awesome that you endured so long. Now the pay off is around the corner. How much did you lose in 13 months?

Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app

I lost about 35 lbs in my first 6 months...then I had some months of bad eating and gained it all back. Right now i'm down about 14 lbs from my original weight. I was denied by insurance the first time and I just kind of spiraled out of control...but i'm back on track now I think.

Happy Humpday Everyone,

Well it is Day 3 on the liquid diet. And boy I wish I could cook anything right now including the air.

Today has been extremely hard since not eating anything since Sunday😞

It's a good thing, I am strong minded/willed because if I wasn't I would've grabbed the first thing appetizing and ATE IT!!!! But has helped me through today and probably the rest of the week are the lovely people in this forum. I am reading about the ups and downs and then looking at the before and after pictures, and it is giving me hope and encouragement to soldier on.

Monday is coming and quickly. I can't wait for it to come and go. I am getting very nervous and my mind is playing all the scenarios of what could go wrong...😏

But Rome Wasn't Built In A Day!!!🙄

You've got this...one day at a time :)

As far as Vitamins goes, we were instructed to get the patch for first month and then after that we can pretty much choose which Vitamin product we want. I will try the patch the first month and if I like it I will probably stick with them for a while.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?
      · 3 replies
      1. NickelChip

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
