March 2020 Surgery Folks Come On in!



Recommended Posts

Well I’m on Day 3 of the liquid diet and I have to say it hasn’t been bad, but today I noticed not a lot of energy. I’m assuming it’s the body adjusting. I thought I would try the Premier Protein clear ( to get ready for Clear Liquids for Sunday) in tropical punch flavor and I gotta say it’s definitely NOT my cup of tea (too much of an aftertaste) ....lol. I much prefer the regular premier Protein Drinks. March 2 is getting real close!
Our surgery date is right around the corner! I'm so excited! But yeah the clear Protein Drinks are yuck. Well I hope your energy levels get better. I'm actually the opposite i had more energy on this diet.

I've tried those, and I agree they have an aftertaste. One way I get those down is making them REALLY cold. I've frozen some in ice cube trays, so it doesn't thin out the drinks, and drank it from a double-wall bottle. Another option, to help "mask" that flavor is adding either sugar-free syrups or some crystal light powder.

Day 5 of liquid diet here, on Sunday I switch to all Clear Liquids. Went for pre-op testing yesterday, just waiting for the call today to see what time I go in on March 2. This is getting real! Excited but also apprehensive. Anybody else???

My program only requires "soft foods" two days before, and clear liquids the day before, but I have been doing 2 Protein Shakes a day and one meal on my own. I have my pre-op appointment on Monday! It's crazy how fast it is all going now. I have figured out my Vitamin regimen (2 Bariatric Advantage chewable Advanved Multi EA and 3 Bariatric Adv Calcium Chews), and finally found a plant based Protein I don't hate (purely inspired Organic Protein). I am intolerant to whey, so the majority of the regular ones are out for me. And there are soooooo many disgusting plant based ones.

I have also checked in with all of my favorite coaches with at my gym to make sure they are cool with me not following the daily format so I am good to go there too! I don't want to lose my gym habits. It's too easy to fall back into not going, lol. I am an OrangeTheory addict.

March 1st: I got my letter from the Bari Center with my official pre-op, surgery, and post-ops dates and instructions on medications/supplements not to take 7 days before surgery. I have all of the pre-op/post-op liquids and I know what I'm taking to the hospital with me.

Now starts the liquid diet for me and I expect to be hungry, hungry, hungry, but I will push thru!

Congrats, Mello1! Exciting for sure! I had same thoughts as you re: hunger on this pre-op. I’m on day 5 of it and can honestly say, as others have (that I admittedly thought ‘oh that won’t be me’)...that it really isn’t that bad. Each day gets easier and easier on it. I hope this will be your experience, too! You deserve an easy go of it for all of the schedule charting you’ve done for us. Thanks again, and only wonderful wishes!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
