Befor And After Photo
JerseyGirl68 replied to Sannah's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can definitely tell. Good for you! -
You might not have to worry about it tonight, but I would definitely try to get in the two going forward. Give yourself enough energy to get through til surgery. You want to stay healthy and not let your resistance get down before surgery. I don't think (and anyone please feel free to correct me on this) you did any "harm" today by having a low calorie intake, but you want to stay strong. Good luck!!

Had My Two Week Follow Up Today...
JerseyGirl68 replied to mrchris's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love reading these posts, it always makes me just a little more comfortable with my decision. Glad everything is going so well! Continued success!! -
This is a huge life change, Emotions running high is normal. Keep in mind too, that some people are effected by anesthesia very differently. Any time my sister gets put under (c-section, dental, etc) she cries for weeks. Her doctor reminds here every time that this happens and not to worry. If you're feeling overwhelmed, sign on.. Someone will always be here. Good luck!

Sleeve Date Set For December 11Th
JerseyGirl68 replied to a5paintball20's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 12/11 also, and did a pre-op initially about a month ago for my first bid at surgery... I have again started my pre-op of 2-3 shakes a day and one low fat/carb, high Protein meal. Get some shakes that fill you, add ice and blend if need be. Mix up your liquid. I'm enjoying some Vitamin Water zero in addition to water and Crystal light. The first time I did this, It wasn't too bad, keeping busy helps. Good luck!! -
Need Protein Recommendations
JerseyGirl68 replied to Butterflysecrets's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pure Protein powder is 25gm per serving. If you use 8oz of Skim plus it adds 11 more grams. I've found the chocolate is delicious. Sometimes I add some PB2 for a Chocolate Peanut Butter shake. Good Luck!! -
AWESOME!! What a great start!

Getting Sleeved On December 11Th........anyone Else Getting Sleeved On This Date? Let's Support And Encourage Eachother!
JerseyGirl68 replied to simplyfedup's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have started (my second time around) lol Although mine is not strictly liquid. I'm allowed 3 shakes a day and 1 low fat/carb, high Protein meal with 4oz lean protein. I'm didn't find hard last time. I avoided situations that might be hard and kept a good mix of drinks/sugar free ice pops to keep it interesting. Selfishly, I'm in the mindset that this is my time to do what I need to for me. This time around, I'm preparing for Christmas. I'm preparing some homemade Soups for when I get out of the hospital and freezing them in 4oz. containers. Lots of preparing. LOL Stocking up on cases of Water and moving some things so I don't have to bend too much for reach too high. Just want to make everything as stress free as possible for when I get home. -
That is awesome, Good for you!!

I'm scheduled for December 11 also, and could not be more excited! You can do this, Hell.. WE can do this!! I echo what everyone else has said. While no two recoveries are identical, the complications are the exception, not the rule.
