I am!!

I have not yet had surgery, but I want to just get some good ideas for snacks and meals that have a lot of protein, and are vegetarian. What do you all eat for meals, and snacks?

Hi all, I have been a vegetarian for almost a year and I am switching into veganism. I am almost a month out of surgery and I am having a difficult time figuring out meals that are vegan, but also high in protein. I drink 2 hemp protein smoothies a day, but I am looking for something different!

Hey everyone!! I am having my surgery in May and just thought that it would be nice to have a group to have to support each other through this!! Who's in?

I drink almond milk. It has more calcium than traditional milk.

I am honestly having a hard time. I have been super emotional and crying all the time. My mother took me to my surgery Tuesday and then is throwing a party tomorrow. I just hate that I am so upset over it but I just wish she would have waited to have a party with tons of greasy foods when I am not feeling great. I can't avoid it cause I live at home.

How is everyone getting their protein in? I am just having a hard time getting in all the protein.

I am going through similar emotions. I just had bypass on May 24th. The first 2 days I did okay. But today I just had a hard time. I struggled with a lot of pain today as well as not getting enough water in. I know this is going to be great for me, however when I have days like today it's hard not to have feelings of regret. I wish you all the best!!

Hey all, I was feeling really great most of the day, but within the last hour or so I became super nauseous with a splitting headache. Anyone else experiencing this??

Okay everyone, I found that warm decaf tea really helped settle my tummy! Maybe it'll help you!!

Ahhhhhhhh so happy!! I'm in quite a bit of pain but it's worth it!! I had to drink some water mixed with my crushed vitamin. I took on sip after and I threw up. It was so painful but I guess that means it worked!

Getting ready to head to the hospital!!

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!! I can't believe that the day is almost here!! I feel like I have been waiting for a long time! My surgery is at 8 in the morning. Clear liquids to day is making me hungryyy! I'm gunna make some broth to help settle my stomach!

Alright everyone, I am getting really nervous for surgery????. I had a Liver Reduction Diet for two weeks. I did well, but I had a few slip ups along the way. During the first week I had a piece of bread. This past week I swapped out a half cup of cottage cheese, which is on my diet, for a tablespoon of fat free cream cheese. I know this seems like a silly reason to be freaking out. Over some bread and cream cheese, but I am just nervous!! Some people don't even have a pre op diet, so I think I'll be okay. I also did lose a good amount of weight over the pre op diet, so that will help.

I know that it is normal for me to be feeling nervous at this point. My surgery is in 3 days. I am not having second thoughts, but I just think some success stories would help me calm the nerves.

I'm having bypass. My surgery is at 8 in the morning, which is good so I won't be waiting around all day!

I'm 19! I'm having bypass in 3 days and I can't wait. I am sick and tired of being to overweight to do things that other people my age do. I want to be able to walk up a flight of stairs with out needing to stop at the top for a break to catch my breath. I am young, but I want to be healthy sooner rather than later.

I'm having surgery on 5/24! I'm getting a little nervous, but mostly ready to change my life!!

I am also having surgery on the 24th! I am on a 2 week liver reduction diet. I also am getting pretty nervous, however I just keep thinking about how much better I'll feel after I have the surgery and lose some weight! We got this!

May 24th here too...where are you located? I'm in Waterloo Illinois Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App hi im May 24th also...New lenox, ILL...im excited but so nervous I'm in Buffalo, Ny. I started my 2 week diet yesterday and it is going okay! I really want to eat something crunchy, but it'll all be worth it in the end!!

May 24th! On the 2nd day of my liver reduction diet!

First day of a 2 week liver reduction diet. Wasn't to bad. I have a slight headache and I'm pretty tired, but it'll all be worth it!!????????????????

In two weeks I am having surgery and I am ecstatic! I start my liver reduction diet tomorrow and am looking forward to changing my life! What are some tips for the hospital? What things should I bring, and what things will I not need? Also, any tips or tricks that helped you post-op to make the process smooth let me know!

I'm 5/24!

Can't wait till that's me!! Only 20 more days till surgery!!
