Hey Jerzy, awesome formula they gave, but as for me, my nut just gave a paper that they give to all wls patients. It states women, the goal should try to get 50_60 g postop and men 60_70g. Using ur formula they gave u, mine shud b 78.4g. So not too far off. But, the grams they gave said for aiding in wound healing. Thx for the info, I'm sure more won't hurt.

Omgsh girl, Awwwwesome job!! Congrats:)

Well Amen!

How about a birthday prayer that God will bless you with another year and a successful surgery and healthy recovery:) we r here for u. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Welcome Raine, glad to have a fellow Dec sleever join us, the more the merrier. U will find that our group is very helpful, supportive and willing to share our experiences w each other. Congrats on ur date, Dec 30th here, n God bless. Don't hesitate to post questions or give suggestions, we are here for each other. Have a gr8 nite, again, welcome! Dee Dee

Hello tomorrow's group of lucky sleevers, 12/20/13, I pray that u have a restful nite and a very successful surgery n healthy event free recovery! Let us know how u all are whenever ur able:). Take care and keep the losers bench warm for the rest of us. Gn all!

God bless whatever choice u make Mac. Had I not had 2 blown knees and not being able to exercise in my forties as I use too in my 30's to lose the weight, I too may not be having this surgery. In order to get new knees after 5 surgeries alrdy, I needed to lose the weight but w my slow metabolism now from yo yo dieting, I cudn sustain the loss ie, continue in pain n comorbs. So even now on this 2 wk preop all liq, day 4, its hard as heck n like som1 said, if not for the surgery comn up, I cudnt sustain this long term. I wudn want too. But I believe u can do it, just one day at a time n c what happens n make the choice after uve tried all that u cud, that's what I did, b4 deciding on this surgery. Also, just in case, try and follow a drs recommend diet, whether u follow it or not, So that it can b noted in ur medical files just in case u decide to have surgery n u NEED proof of dieting. Just fyi bc some insurances want 6 mths proof. But gl dear. You'll do gr8 whatever YOUR CHOICE may be. We all have to "get to our final straw" in our own way. God bless:)

God bless all of the postops n their recoveries! Many prayers for tomorrows crew. May God guide the hands that touch you and bring u threw to a gr8 recovery! Gl everyone n gn:) keep us updated and thx to all who are keeping us updated.

I started preop liq on 12/16/13 at 236.8. I have surgery 12/30/13. I'm now 230.4, woohoo. I'm happy:)

God bless all of tomorrow's sleevers! Praying for much success on the table nd recovery. Uve finally made it! Take care and keep us in the know whenevr ur able. Day 2 preop liquids here, gotta turn in early, hating these hunger pangs. Praying for a bttr tomorrow. Gn all:))

YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL, SO AMAZN!! You even look like uve grown a few inches, lol. U r an inspiration, I'm in my preop liq day 2, Lord willing, ill b on the losers bench too. And lookn at ur pics makes me know I've made the right decision, I'm just rdy:). UVE done a gr8 job. And ur hair is gorgeous as well:)

Congrats to u!! Thank God ur well n pain is managed. Question plz, if its hard to drink afterwards, how did u manage the swallow test? Is it alot to drink, do u have to drink it in a certain amt of time? Just curious. Thx. . Grats again!

Many prayers ur way my fellow sleever. U may have a virus, hopefully its just nerves tho. My hubby came home w it and is still knocked out from it. I pray its nothing like that but don't push it if it is. Keep getting some fluids until u have to stop, like somthn w ginger or pepto if allowed b4 surgery. But whatever happens ur in my prayers.

Amen, He Is! And I'm glad u r doing gr8! Keep up the good work, n thx for keeping us posted. Happy healing:). Gn

Omgsh! One day down of my 2 wk preop. It was so hard 3/4 the way thru my day. At 7 pm I drank some unjury chicken broth, and thank You Lord, it was so good, helped w my headaches n pangs a little. I am going to bed now to speed up the process of not havn to b awake :/ I'm usually a nite owl but tonight this owls getting knocked out. Lord willing, day 2 will kinda b bttr but Ik I'm fooling myself cuz I've read it takes about 3, but one-day at a time. Ugh!
