I microwaved the vegetables in the Water and then used a hand blender to “purée” them, then put them through a cheese cloth (paper towel works well too) to take extra moisture out. From there they were easy to form (keep some moisture in so they form) and put them in a pan with Pam, salt for flavour... not too bad. Plus it kept me busy instead of thinking of other food

I'll have to try it. My last dinner attempt was a fail so I ended up eating some air-fried Brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze. Have you weighed yourself today? It's a week out from our surgery. I lost 9 lbs so far.

I did weigh myself, only down .3 today, but still down. I’ve also lost 9lbs since starting my shakes. I think it’s the Water weight.

I have never lost 9 lbs. in a week so I'll take. Any loss is a plus. Wishing you a successful 2nd week!

I know what you mean! Never have I ever lost this much in a week. And what’s crazy is I’m not even hungry!

Thank you. I hope so. Today was better, but I still don’t feel like drinking anything. I hope this passes soon

Have you thought about putting something into your drinks to make it a little more appealing?

Before I was able to be discharged, my surgeon made me drink 1 oz over 30 minutes, walk and urinate, and drink 1 ox over 10 minutes for an hour at a time (60oz at 1 oz every 10 minutes). It was not pleasant, but 10 days post I am progressing very well.

My surgery is scheduled for 12/28. I’m on pre op for three weeks and doing great. But there is a chance that COVID numbers will delay my surgery due to hospital needs. I’m praying it doesn’t.

I got my surgery date! 12/30! I start my liquid diet on 12/16! YAY!

I wish this was me
