Starting Preop liquid diet today...one week till surgery[emoji3]
mkh1399 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Can't believe the time has come and the foooood has stopped. I have started my liquid diet today and must say the premier protein shakes from Costco are not too bad. I loaded up on steak and salad the last week as I know these are foods I may not be able to tolerate after surgery...diary of a foodie I know. I start at 330 lbs and have a goal of Onederland. My life will be forever changed and I am ready for that change. I am ready to feel comfortable in my own skin. I am ready to be able to ride an airplane and not worry if the seatbelt will fit. I am ready to ride bumper boats and go carts with my son And not feel ashamed that I am over the weight limit. I am posting my picture today so I may have it as a reminder of what I will not go back to. I may be reaching out for encouragement and advice as I head into this journey please bare with me as I learn the next chapter of my life[emoji4] -

What kind of protein shakes did you ladies find were the best? -
I've started my journey towards surgery. Sort of scary and nervous of the unknown. Had orientation and ready to start my 6 months of Preventure that my insurance requires in order to get them to cover the surgery I feel like the 6 months are going to drag on but also look at it as a positive to start practicing habits for when the surgery day does come. So far I have limited carbonated drinks to slim to none and started sipping Water and tea instead of slurping it down out of a straw. Still can't get thru meals without drinking...this one is going to be hard for me. I would like recommendations in Protein shakes and Multivitamins...I hate burping up Vitamins all day long so would like a good liquid or other possibilities... Any advice wood be appreciated!
