I also struggle with accepting compliments and attention, idk why, whether it's work, artistic, physical or academic. I choose to grin and say thank you because I know they are given with the best intentions and not to make me uncomfortable.

You can and will do it! May take a while, you're pretty now but you are going to make Beyonce look like your ugly stepsister#

I am also getting sleeved on Monday the 18th. Best of luck to you.

A month later... you might want to talk to your PCP or Surgical team... that's not normal.

I know that I feel the same way. I can meet both my protein goals and water intake pretty easily, so I feel like nothing has changed yet. Maybe when I move on to solid food next week??

If you're missing "meals", try something savory. You can eat pretty much any soup out there if you strain out the chunks. (I'm assuming you're on full liquids because of the milk.) After the soup is heated, you can stir in some unflavored protein powder to increase the protein. Soup counts toward your fluid goal. There are a lot of good choices now in the grocery store. It doesn't need to be "chicken & stars"! But don't add the protein powder before you heat the soup! It can get all clumpy. UGH! I couldn't handle the "sweet" overload. Good luck!

Thank you all so very much for the suggestions! And I really appreciate the support! It is so wonderful to be in a place where there is so much understanding and great advice! Much love to you all and best wishes on your journeys!

Congrats! Soon you'll be posting about your surgical date, etc. Sometimes it seems like a long wait, but then it just flies by!

I wouldn’t throw in the towel just yet, your system needs to adjust, 10 days is not very long.

I started my 2 week liquid diet today. Not bad at all. Can you tell me how every one did on theirs? Sent from my Z982 using BariatricPal mobile app
