My first week will be 2-4ozs of protein shake every hour and liquids only. Liquids need to be less than 5 gms fat and less than 5 gms sugar (including protein shake).

@@rdharri It makes me sad that your husband has said these things and made you feel horrible! The fact that you know he "has a huge issue with your weight" is upsetting. It may be that he's insecure himself and afraid of the changes in you and your confidence. Don't let him bring you down. This is not about him! It's your body - your health and your emotional well-being! I would be open and communicate with him about your feelings and his fears (if his attitude is coming from fear). You may want to consider counseling - either together or at least for yourself. Stay strong!

Omg - I am laughing my ass off! This was a good way to start off my weekend!

Get immediately back on track! It's important that you don't cheat again - surgery is close!

@@Kindle gave you just about all options. You can also do infused water, sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello.

See if you can apply for Care Credit. Good luck!

Talk to your PCP. It's unusual for the weight loss to trigger this at 6 months but you never know. No one should feel the need to live with anxiety - there are meds that will help and therapy is good at anytime!

Going that long without protein shakes is harsh and unhealthy (in my opinion). You need protein to heal and function!

There's very little that can be done aside from plastic surgery. Congrats on your loss!!!

Walk, sip (try different temps) and rest!

Don't worry...just stay on plan. It's for a safer surgery!

Instead think about all the good things that will come after surgery! You'll do great, Robert! Stay strong!

I'd call Dr again! You should be able to tolerate fluids. Did you try different temps! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

Find distractions! This soon post op you could really cause complications depending on what you ate. Head hunger is a bitch! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

You get back on track! What did you have? Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

Oh no! Love bacon! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

Shellfish ????. I would be so excited to eat shrimp, lobster and crab!!! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App But who's going to take the chance to test it out? Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

This is not WLS related but I wanted to send prayers to all those impacted by the terrorist attack in Orlando. 50 people have lost their lives and 52+ more injured - it's absolutely heartbreaking! I hope all our Bariatric Pal Family are safe as are your loved ones! Orlando Strong!

@@bellabloom I would go to therapy - it's very easy to go from one eating disorder to another. I wish you all the best!

@@1Cor2:9 I think that's a great goal! Congrats on your success! Hope you find your soulmate!

@@biglady904 I would call and get a status. You don't want to wait around and find out that it's sitting on someone's desk or wasn't received as you thought.

@@hopefulvspgirl It's not crazy at all!!! 4 months will give you time to get settled with your new sleeve! You'll be starting out 2017 as a new woman!!! Good luck!

You might not like deflated balls anymore than inflated balls! lol

I'm still pre-surgery but here are some suggestions: Skim milk (almond milk, soy milk, etc.), No Sugar Added Carnation Instant Breakfast, sugar free pudding, creamed/strained Soups, V8, greek yogurt (is on some full liquid diets but check with yours).

Will primary cover? Hope you find a resolution!
