    Liquid diet

    Surgery is Monday morning for me and I have been on clear liquids and meal replacement shakes since the 19th. I have lost 20lbs since then... It Works!! I had two little mini meltdowns... One day I wanted a freshly made biscuit my mother made and the other she came home with leftover shrimp and french fries... so I just went to bed lol.. Im surprised how well I have handled it. Hopefully that translates to an easy recovery and beyond... you can do it!!

    Yes I am... surgery Monday morning!! Im finishing day 5 of my preop diet (SF popsicle for snack right now) Im doing well thanks! I was struggling on Saturday.. but I added SF chocolate pudding to my shakes and it is a God send!! It masks the aftertaste of the powder and almost tastes like chocolate milk.. its the only way I can do shakes. I havent had any veggies even though we're allowed... its truly a test of your determination.. but Im so ready for Monday You start your diet on Friday right?

    I just mixed a SF peach mix and SF rasberry mix together.. I got both at walmart. Im kind of wishing I had gotten a mix of unflavored instead of french vanilla.. but I just add mixes to them.. for lunch I had more jello and mixed a Berry Propel drink mix to it. Dinner was beef broth and two popsicles lol. We have leftover Pizza Hut in the fridge and I am dying... but each day will get easier. I had my preop physical yesterday also and I am cleared for surgery. Im also down 10 lbs from when I was last weighed in July! I was worried because I have been eating things I know I wont be able to have after surgery. Hoping with the preop diet I will be under 400 for surgery... whoot!

    Yes! Start it tomorrow! I bought groceries last night...SF jello and popsicles, SF drink mixes and low sodium broth...My momma even found me a hot pink protein shake bottle. Im almost more afraid of these 10 days than the actual surgery.. all I can think of is them not doing the surgery because I didnt do it right..that wont happen!! let me know if you want my email or phone number to keep in touch... we got this!

    I was too!! I was more terrified of the catheter than anything else lol. My Nectar samples should be here tmrw.. i will probably use it to make some protein pops and such for before and after sugery.. havent done the Fusion yet... i just bought vanilla and will add sf pudding or sf jello to it. My diet starts next friday.. its crazy how its flown by. I have to say the workshop put to ease many of my worries. Im here for you!

    Thongs went well!! I finally got to meet some fellow patients that are having surgery the same day... we were shown some exercises with a resistance band and then went through some nutrition packets... similar to what Ann Marie did but I think its to make sure you understand everything. And we could ask any questions we had. Im assuming you are a sleeve patient, so we will not have any drains or catheters... just our IV... everyone gets at least one heparin shot in the hospital to prevent clotting but the more you move the less its necessary. Lasted just over an hour... then I went to Pine Pharmacy and bought Fusion for the pre op. They want us to us it because its not just protein but a full meal replacement... so ill save my Nectar for post op. Are you getting excited??
