Pre and early post-op diet are the hardest part. Glad you vented, and I hope it helps, soon it'll be 1 year post-op and you will be enjoying most, if not all, what you enjoyed before, except a small plate will be enough and satisfying. Hang in there!

My favorite it Godiva dark chocolate with raspberry filling. I can't find it anymore, which is super sad.

😁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!

Unfortunately no. Eggs are a solid food. Liquids mean you have to be able to drink the ‘food’ - no chewing.

Ok lovelies! I have created a Facebook group after doing some Google research lol it is a private group and you will have to request to join. It is called "August 2023 Bariatric Surgery Support Group" There is also a group chat there so we can all talk a little easier 🙂

How do you add the ticker?

I'm not sure how much I was eating at that point because we were told not to count calories early out, but I'm sure it wasn't that many. I averaged around 800-ish calories from about months 2-10, I think. But then, plans differ. Your surgeon's office may be able to give you some guidelines.

See, we can't always see the change on the scale, however changes are happening inside us for the better. Might I suggest you measure your thighs, hips, waist, chest and neck every month. That way you can see the inches coming off rather that the scale moving. This may give you the confidence and motivation to feel better about yourself!

Hey, I'm about 6 months out from my sleeve. I've lost about 90lbs from my surgery date. I have been working out and eating my best. However, my life has changed dramatically in the last 2 months. So it was already difficult to find time to workout. I felt like my weight-loss goals were starting to be pushed back for other obligations such as my new job, my kiddos sports schedules, summer break, and such. So finding the motivation at 5am or at 10pm to workout was tough but I was doing it. Then about 2 weeks ago, my husband and I got into an argument. He confesses that he isn't attracted to me and never was. He said he loves me for other reasons and he was emotionally invested before we met in person. We've been together since 2007. I know I should be working out and losing weight for myself and my kids but I feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me. All my motivation is gone. Why workout if the man you'll be with forever isn't satisfied either way? I feel heartbroken and betrayed. Am I being too dramatic or shallow? Sent from my SM-S115DL using BariatricPal mobile app

I will take this any day because I had a butt shelf. You can not hide one of those
