Hey everyone how are you all doing?

@KidaandRoux how are you feeling?

@GingersnapMI I’m sorry to hear about your surgery being cancelled! I hope they reschedule soon once the Covid cases clear 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Stay strong. I know how frustrated you must feel!!

I’m 9 days Post Op now and about to start the purée stage tomorrow. My stomach and I are very ready for it lol trying to decide what my first food in 4 weeks will be!

I’m a little surprised at how easy it was for me to get fluids and supplements down since surgery when I hear most have nausea and vomiting issues. I almost wish I did because I don’t want it to be too easy to overdo it and fall back into the same routine of overeating once I start foods. I’m going to have to be very strict with myself and measuring out portions. I’m down 11 pounds since surgery and 28 total since the start of the pre-op liquid diet.

Hydration has been my focus so I downloaded this app called WaterMinder. I set a reminder every 5 min and it goes to my Apple Watch reminding me to take a sip of Water. Really helpful for someone like me who forgets to drink when I’m focused on other tasks. It’s been helping me reach my 48-64 oz daily goal.

Hope you’re all doing well! Please feel free to share any tips and tricks that have been working for you!

Good luck to all whose surgeries are coming up and are starting their pre-op diets!

Its been awhile since I played basketball so I have been practicing lol but I would never had even volunteered to do this 70lbs ago!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
