Just mom

ok so today is my second day of my pre opt diet and my calorie count and Protein count was too low so i was instructed to add Protein powder(170 calories-30g of protein) to the already premade shakes(160 calories-24g of protein) from the store. I was told to also add some PB2 to it also to kick the protein count up.
I'm allowed :
Protein shakes up to 5 a day
broth(tuscany chicken-Way yummy)
sf jello/pudding
crystal light
sf popsicles (tropical flavor yummy)
My goal is to not cheat and start my new life with a goal of making it through this 14 day nightmare!
March 31 surgery with dr. Jesus Lopez

Did you ever think there would be as many of us that would have/had WLS? Can you imagine what would happen if we spread our support and outrage to the insurance companies that are still not covering this procedure? or the plastic surgery after! Do we have our own ribbon for support or day to say hey i did this! Lots of us don't tell friends or family members due to judgement or the thought they could talk us out of it(me included) but if its successful they are happy and want to praise you for it !
We should ROAR!!! and let the whole world and the insurance companies hate us as we band in a united front to get these surgieres covered and not have to run to other countries to do them!! we should have a WLS pride Day and be proud of our bodies!
sorry if I'm ranting had to get it out!

I followed it 100%. I figured if I cheated for two weeks before surgery, then what precedent am I setting for long term success?

anyone want to buddy up to encouage and support each other --- just let me know!

Thank you!! I'm 1 wk, 2 days post op and today was a good day! I am down 16.5 total.
HW: 229, SW: 220 Today: 212.5
I feel so good! I'm going to try to go back to work tomorrow. If it's too much, I'll leave early. For me, I can't wait to be back in my daily routine and I am so happy that I did this. I actually catch myself looking in the mirror and smiling! I haven't done that in years! The only thing is I think my teeth are yellowing and I wonder if that's from lack of chewing! I start puréed in 5 days and I can't wait to chew! I'm going to be seeking out recipes and tips for the puréed stage. I live my sleeve!
