Hello, getting ready to start a re-set. Looking for some accountablity. Anyone interested or can suggest some good blogs?

Can you all help, 10 months post op. Still reaching my goal weight. How much protein should I be consuming each day? How many calories a day? and How many carbs? My pre-surgery weight was 245 lbs. I've lost 64 lbs. Lowest weight so far 181. Goal weight 145.

I know. Same here. I'm trying to finish off my last pounds before my one year in June if I can.

Thank you! That was a good reminder. I need to have that mindset.

Hello all, I'm two months away from reaching my 1 year mark. I really want to reach my goal weight. Have any suggestions on how I can get re-focused to reach that goal. Should I go back to one of my phases? Add more Protein? I'm eating what I want but I'm at a stand still and really want to reach my goal weight.

Hey all, I"m on post op day 13 and I feel like I have the only Doctor that makes us do a 4 week post op liquid diet. Every video I see people start puree after two weeks. So here I am still sucking down broth, juice, and my nasty Protein shakes that I can barely stomach. Any suggestions you all have to spruce up my diet to help get through my last two weeks. Also, Protein Shakes are killing me. I have tried different ones and hate them all. Currently, suggestions on how to get all my protein in. I can only get in each day about 50 g

My doctor has me on 4 week post liquid diet and for the first two weeks I have to take my vitamins by powder. I've mixed with hot liquid, crystal light, juice, blended...but it don't dissolve well and I feel nausea at just the smell of it. It is the Bari-life powder mix!!! It's nasty y'all but I need my vitamins!!! Wish I could just take by IV....lol????... Suggestions????

Thank you!!! Where did you buy your vitamins?

Hi everyone!! This is my 4th day post op and I'm gearing up my day by organizing all my drinks-powders-pills...etc it is very challenging getting it all in. I have to do 64 liquid total. 60-protein 30-carbs this morning I started with 1 oz of premier protein. I then added I scoop of vitamin mix to a small bottle of G2 which has gone from purple to army green. Right now I'm sipping on 1 oz of hot tea that melted one of my pills in. Any suggestions of what you all do to make this 4 weeks great????

You will do great! Good Luck. Stay positive......that helped me. You will do great! Good Luck. Stay positive......that helped me.

Two days to go and I'm so nervous. So many things running in my head...like "hope I didn't make a mistake!" or "Will I ever enjoy food again?" and "What will my stomach feel like after surgery?" Anyone out there having surgery same day as me??

I'm with you. I get sleeved on Monday and I'm so nervous. Do you have any concerns before going in??

Thank you, so much!! I feel better already

I had a chicken salad on Thursday and I have my sleeve surgery on Monday. I'm afraid that I will have salad left in my stomach. Any suggestions or comments to help? I'm on a 800 calorie diet with pre-made food (Soup, Protein bars, smoothies, etc) plus 64 oz of non-calorie fluids. My starting weight was 245. All the blogs I've seen most people have to diet with a liquid diet for two weeks. Not sure why I've been allowed to eat prior to surgery.
