Went for a hike this past week and had a small apple pie soft serve ice cream! The view was great, the ice cream was just meh.

You look fantastic!!

😁Newbie here as well and I just started my liquid diet on Monday. I’m on day 3 and can say that it has been less of a hangry day than the first 2 days for me. I’m usually a night snacker so that time has been the hardest, and chewing jello only does so much for me. 11 more days for me until my surgery. Stay strong over there!

Looking good you go girl 🥰🥰🥰🥰💪🏽

You look so healthy and glowing, you have gone through so much to get where you are. Huge Congratulations sent

I would ask if they have any set nutrition goals for which they want you to aim (calories, protein, carbs, fiber). I would also ask if you're taking your vitamins correctly, or if they would have you make any changes. Make sure to let them know how much water you're drinking, they'll tell if you if it's enough or not. Take any vitamins and medications you're using with you, so they can know exactly what you're taking.

Thank you!!!

Stock up with lots of low carb, sugar free, high protein snacks. That way you are still sticking to the plan. My surgeon explained that the sugar intake is the biggest thing, because it allows your liver to shrink and reduces risk during surgery. I did portioned out mini containers of t good foods, and it really helped. Some favorites were - Cottage cheese cups, sugar free jello, triple zero yogurt, cooked chicken, moon cheese, healthier popcorn, P3 Protein snacks. All easy and fulfilling.

So far it's been 13 months for me. I meet with the surgeon next week and will hopefully get a date soon. My 60th birthday is coming up in mid September, so I'm hoping to start the preop diet shortly after that. This is my birthday gift to myself.
