This doesn't answer your question but congrats on the surgery date and joining the May 28th club!

I'm May 28th as well I really like the nectar Protein shakes and primer protein RTD For the nectar fuzzy naval I just mix it with Water and ice For the nectar vanilla bean tort I mix it with 1 cup of almond milk and ice. One thing I love about nectar is how easily it mixes The days I drink the primer Protein Shakes I sometimes add in PB2 to give it a yummy chocolate and Peanut Butter taste

What is your typical day like regarding food and exercise?

You're so tiny now! Ahh I'm so excited for this surgery!! I hope I have your success in 6 months you look amazing and are doing great. As others said what an inspiration.

I use the fitbit aria scale I love it! It is a little pricy but uploads my info wirelessly to my fitness pal app. It measures a few things very similar to the withings scale. Oh I also have a fitbit pedometer so I like how they sync with everything.

I just tried the quest chocolate chip cookie dough bar and heated it about 10 seconds it was so good! I only had a third of the bar because I'm on my 3 week pre-op diet (1000 calories a day) but I could see having a small piece of one a couple months after surgery. Also the last 5k event I went to they had power crunch bars one is a wafer type bar and the other is a candy bar with krispy pieces inside those are also pretty darn good as well.

That's a smart idea I may have to do that! I loved the passion tea lesson aids.

Yep it's a huge mental game when it comes to food. When I first started the process I felt like i went crazy on eating the unhealthy things. Then I went on vacation knowing I could get my call for approval and that I may have to start my 3 week pre-op diet the day I get back made me eat more of the unhealthy things. Thankfully when I came back from vacation I only gained 3lbs and have lost 7lbs since I start my pre-op diet with 2 more weeks to go of it. Yeah I think it's normal to to through these food funerals.

Hard to say because my diet is puréed food when I get home from the hospital and then soft like two weeks later. I think every doctor has different rules.

Congrats on your date! I'm the day before you but I'd love to hear about how things go and your progress since we'll be hours apart from being sleeves.

Hey do you still have any of this stuff for sale?

I'm the day after as well!

I wanted to take 2-3 but my Dr office is saying 4 weeks minimum. I guess part of it is the adjustment period to your new life.

I'm hoping the pre op diet will be harder than post op as far as food goes. however I'm trying to focus on making changes like taking one small bite and putting my fork down and really chew it and no liquids while eating.

3 weeks but its a "very low calorie diet" that basically consist of 1,000 calories, 80 grams of protein and 64 oz of water. It might sound easy but I'm on day one and I'm hungry!!

Schedule for May 28th and start my 3 week very low calorie diet tomorrow! I have to say I wasn't overly hungry today but my emotions have been strange I went from extremely happy about life to kind of depressed this evening. I think my battle with food and food funerals are setting in.

Same!!

I haven't tried ENS yet but they have a cake batter flavor, Celebrate Vitamins sells it. I have been meaning to order from that site but just haven't yet. I have made protein Popsicles and what I found works is the ISPURE clear liquid bottle drinks you can buy at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.

Alright May sleevers I just barely made it into the May party with a surgery date of May 28th!
