Ah, yes, I have seen some of those posts and honestly, they're too painful for me! It's the encouragement and inspiration I come for. Take what I need, offer what I can and leave the rest....

Chest pains, call your doctor! We are not medically trained. Good luck!

First off...I'm new to this site. So...HELLO EVERYONE! For insurance purposes, I'm on the fast track for surgery. I'm HOPING to have surgery the week before Thanksgiving. My nutritionist informed me that I will have to be on a liquid diet for 8 days before surgery. What are some of your favorite liquid-based meal replacements? I have my booklet that she gave me and I plan on following that. I would like ideas from my peers to see what their thoughts are. Thanks in Advance!

I took a stool softener pre op

Wanted to post some updated pics and let everyone know I understand and have been there. It's not an easy choice and it's never easy but Daily Choices keep you going! Stay busy and keep moving after surgery

Dr Fuller told me to start mine the day after I got discharged which was on 9-21-17 so I started mine on 9-22

Congrats!

I wish i knew the answer to this. Im almost a year out and still have to chew till liquid or damn near to be comfortable. Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

...I started exercising a few weeks ago. I noticed the same thing. I found on the days that I am super hungry all day no matter what I eat or drink, I lose a large amount the next day (~1 lb) on the scale. When it happens to me, I double down on my protein shakes to get some extra protein in, try to drink more water and try to enjoy my metabolism finally figuring out how to work again good luck!

It is so frustrating not to feel progress, especially with something like pain and mobility. But you are well on your way with weight loss, physical therapy, and lifting, and I am hoping your pain eases. Is there an in-person support group near you where you might be able to connect with some new people in similar situations?
