I was sleeved 11/16 and I noticed when I introduced solid foods earlier this week, my weight stalled. My NUT said to increase my fiber through vegetables, and things starting moving again.

Check the sugar content. If it's got sugar in it, it's probably best to avoid it for now. Sorry - I know the liquid phase is really rough. I just don't want you to set yourself up with a bad habit from the start.

I'm going in for my surgery in 24 mins!!! I'm excited and nervous and just ready. It's a mini gastric bypass and not the roux n y. But being a newish (1997) procedure there aren't as many people doing this one. I have a headache and didn't sleep well but soon I will be asleep and when I wake up i will be on my new adventure.

I completely agree!!!! I haven't told mine and I"m super nervous about it. I have been a huge person my whole life. I have also been an athlete until my late 20's so I fear that they may try to use that over my head by saying, "how can a person that was an athlete all their life end up needing weight loss surgery". That's my biggest fear. They don't understand. No one in my family is even close to my size. I am a freak of nature that is no longer a great athlete. I need help and this program and surgery is gonna help me with that. I sure hope they understand. Time will tell. I sure wish you all the best of luck with your surgery and start of your new life. Go Git'm!!!

You Go Girl!!! Congrats. My approval was the same way. I also have my surgery on 12/18 @10am!!! Best of luck to you. Enjoy the process and get excited. We got this!!!!

I am freaking out also. I started my liquids yesterday. My surgery is 12/19/17.

Hola Mili, muchas felicidades por ese logro. Me encanto encontrar este post y conocer tu historia. Soy nueva en este grupo y apenas aprendiendo a navegar la pagina, me gusta mucho este website ya que es de mucho beneficio encontrar la ayuda y soporte de personas que estan pasando por el mismo proceso. Te cuento que mi situacion es parecida a la tuya. Tengo 33 años y desde los 23 e sufrido de Diabetes II y ahora precion alta. Y no es nada facil tener que depender de tantos medicamentos para seguir viviendo. Por eso e tomado la desicion de someterme a esta cirugia y poder tener la posibilidad de mejorar mi salud. Tengo mi cita con el cirujano en 12/20/17 y te cuento que los nervios me tienen al 100%. Ya sabes la anciedad de que nunca e tenido un cirujia mayor y temor a el proceso de operacion y recuperacion. Pero ver tu historia y lo bien que te ves me dan fuerzas de saber que aunque el camino es dificil Dios me ayudara a sobrepasar esto y lograr una mejoria en mi salud. Por lo que vi tu cirujia ya paso mas de un año, me gustaria saber como te sientes? que tal a sido mantener el peso? que otros ostaculos has tenido que enfrentar para mantenerte? Gracias mil por compartir tu historia.

Few thoughts on my 7 days of liquid diet. Its scary at first, but you will be ok. Drink lots of water and take walks If you drink coffee like me, 3-4 cups a day you will need to back off before you start the liquid diet I had a headache for 3 days, day 1 was real bad but got better each day I dropped 2-4 pounds a day Biggest day was 4.5 That day I was most active and most hungry What got me through the first few days was thinking of eating again. Crazy right! I was searching for high protein low carb recipes, fun things I could eat and still keep on track Lots of cool and great ideas posted, so don’t despair. On the plus side I lost 20 pounds in 6 days You will have moments where you want to scarf, but you will work through it. Each day goes by the stronger you get.

@JohnnyCakes - Seems like an very cruel thing to say to a fellow Bariatric Pal a few hours after her surgery, don't you think? Looks like you had major success with losing weight...how about lifting up your fellow forum members when they need it the most instead of trying to shame them for being brave enough to share at a tough time to help others who are right behind her? I think she is frickin' awesome for taking the time to post on the day of surgery with helpful hints and encouraging words.
