June 2019 Surgery Siblings!

[Batty2000 177]

It's taking me hours to down 1 11oz premier shake right now. No cream of wheat or yogurt or grits or cream Soup until next week. I am still not physically hungry but I am missing food right now

Same! I need to up my broth game. I'm craving savory.

When you go buy the clear drinks, I suggest getting the Protein 2.0. The Premier are wayyy too sweet, even more so than the shakes. I bought 4 cases of the Premier and can't stand them. Went yesterday and bought a case of the Protein 2.0 and they're much more tolerable. Downside is they're only 15g protein.

I will go look for them. I thought Walmart carried the Premier clear but they didn’t have any. What’s the best place everyone is finding variety? I bought a ton of yogurt, Soups and sugar free pudding. I’m so ready for my next step. I’ve been lucky I guess. Had very little nausea. No vomiting. Just some tightness when I go a little fast. Just some pain in my incisions LOL I have follow up Friday.

I agree! Premier was way too sweet! The protein2o are delish!

Hi. If some of you guys are afraid of dealing with emotions before and after surgery there is this really good book called The Weight Loss Surgery Coping Companion: A Practical Guide For Coping With Post-Surgery Emotions By Tanie Miller Kabala, Ph. D
Hope you guys get a chance to buy and read this book.

Who else here is on the pre-op liquid diet? I’m on day 4 and I’m SO TIRED. Does anyone have any tips? I don’t want to fall asleep at work, haha.

You will feel that way for a week or 2. It's the period where you are detoxing from all the carbs but as soon as your body starts to burn body fat for energy you will feel ok again, most likely even better than before. In the mean time keep up with your water/liquids and Protein and maybe take some B-12.

I'm on the liquid diet until my surgery Wednesday. The first 4-5 days sucked so bad for me but now I'm used to it. Idk if you're allowed to have caffeine on your diet but I can. I've cut down on it quite a bit but still drink a little when I get super tired. sugar free energy drinks are life for me right now lol

I think my surgeon recommended it too. I'll have to check it out!

Keeping drinking till you feel like you're going to float away. The oxygen in the Water will help your head.

Tomorrow starts the liquid diet! I literally just had a lobster for lunch 😂

[Ready610 42]

I’m home from the hospital. Got home yesterday evening after a two night stay. My recovery is going well. My tummy is sore, but that is to be expected. No gas pain. No nausea or trouble keeping any of the Protein Shakes down. I am keeping up well on my Fluid intake. And, I’m keeping up with the schedule of meds. The one freak that happened is that I pulled muscle in my back trying to turn over on my side in the hospital bed. So, I left with awful lower left back pain. I’m resting all day today in the hope that the back pain will subside and I’ll be able to move about more tomorrow. How long before any of you started to feel kind of normal again?
