I started my liquid (full liquid) on Monday, the 28th, also. I weighed yesterday, and I was down 8 lbs. Of course, it is mostly water at first. The body releasing extra water. I have a naturopath tell me one time that I was not fat (I weighed about 215), but that I was carrying around all extra water. Who knows. I'm just glad to see the scale going down. I weighed and measured yesterday. I'm trying to stay off the scale until next Monday when I start clear liquids. Then on Nov 11th, SURGERY DAY! I will measure and weigh again. Measurements can mean a lot more than the scale when a stall happens.

Until healed, they also promote bleeding, as well as gastric irritation

I have been using CO for years now. I don't like the taste of CO, but I like cooking with it. I use it for my moisturizer every day. I used to take a supplement, which increased my HDL, and lowered my LDL. My doc told me to show off my results. Lol

HOw are you feeling? It has been a few weeks now. Hope you are doing well.

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. (Well, in the morning, I'm still on Sunday in my book) I'm a little/lot nervous about be on liquids. I've been sort of prepping - for ex, having a liquid dinner. Tonight though, I finished of my solid food with something really delish. I can't believe that my surgery is in 2 wks. I'm SO EXCITED! I go for my nurtrition class on Tues, then seen Dr. Carrol on the 4th.

I saw it at GNC today. So it is not supposed to have that flavor. Hmmmmm

Many restaurant eggs are probably powdered.

What is BSN? I tried the unjury unflavored in my ice tea. YUCK. Of course being Southern, I'm very picky about my tea. I need to find something to mix with my tea so I can sip my way thru work while getting my Protein. Suggestions.

I love using zucchini in place of pasta. Sometimes I just slice it, and slightly sauté. Then I put whatever sauce over. I like spaghetti squash too.

Thank you again. Sorry to hear about the heartburn. That is just terrible. Hope he can find something to relieve you soon. I"m going nto start prepping for the liquid diet this week. I work 3-11, so I decided on the days that I work, I will have a liquid dinner, from either of the lists. I think that will keep me from being in total shock of not having food during the 2 weeks prior to surgery. I'm scheduled for 5 weeks from tomorrow. Got my chewable Vitamins in a few days ago. I have started taking them already. I have ordered me some samples of different Protein, including the unjury chicken broth.

Jackie, Thanks. How have you been feeling? I hope your 1st week has been pretty good. What is the post-op diet like?

Jackie, did you like Dr. Carroll? I have not actually met him yet. I like all the other staff at transformations.

No. I dont think so. My insurance has approved with Dr. Carroll.

How has anyone else's experience been with Dr. Carroll?

I'm using Dr. Caroll too. I'm also state employer. I work for Ms State Hospital. My surgery date is Nov 11th. I'm so excitedl

There are flavored aloes too that are pretty good. I drink one that is mango, it is pretty tastey. http://www.aloelife....sp?productID=15

I had my EKG, ABGs, Chest Xray, and Pulm today. Glad that is over. I also got my 2 wk pre-op diet. I have to start it a day before I get to go for my nutrition education class. I'm so ready. 6 weeks from today!!!!!

I feel your pain. I'm a nurse, and the other night at work I hurt from head-to-toe from being on my feet for about 7 hours straight. I was having to move fast to. No great distance though. I have about 140 to lose.
