Travelher reacted to KristenLe in October Surgery Buddies
Day 2 of pre-op liquids almost over - 12 more to go! This is not easy but I'm happy to say I'm sticking with it 100%.

I was super emotional as well, particularly the day before. I'm now 2 days post op and feeling fine, hardly any pain. You'll be fine. Just breathe and think positive thoughts.

I go in at 8 am. I'm nervous and very emotional... I can't wait to see me a year from now. I asked myself today if I was making the right decision. Sent from my SM-G925P using the BariatricPal App

Travelher reacted to Tammy Shannon in OCTOBER GBs where are you?!?!
Just 5 short weeks ago, October 5th seemed like an eternity away. Now I staring down the last 4 days of my old life and getting ready to welcome the new. It's been a rough 3 weeks of pre-op diet. I have to say thank you to my family and to the fellow Bariatric pals on here for helping me through. It's been interesting to see how different the pre-op requirements are around the country.
This weekend I'm going to get my hospital bag ready, go grocery shopping for the family and make sure everything is in order, so I don't have to worry about anything but getting healthy.
We have several other pals with surgeries this week...what are you doing to get ready? How are you feeling?

Travelher reacted to Tammy Shannon in One week Post op update
@@Travelher, I am allowed 4 Protein shakes a day and a limited list of vegetables. That is it. I'm a week and half in to a three week pre-op diet. I am able to get about 2 shakes down and some veggies every day. Mushrooms have been my go to lately. I started on SlimFast high Protein Shakes, but after about three days, I had extreme diarrhea. They then switched me to Organic Meal Replacement shakes. It is all plant based Protein and you mix with Water. They don't flavor well at all. I just sweeten it a bit with Splenda and drink them. It also has a nasty film it leaves in your mouth.
Wishing you the best of luck!

Travelher got a reaction from Pescador in No support from boyfriend
I'm sorry to hear that, this is hard enough when you have support. I also agree with everyone else. My husband is very supportive, but has been clear that i need to be sure I'm doing this for me and not for him and he is right about that.

Travelher got a reaction from Autumn Riley Arnold in I dumped for the first time!
Hi Autumn,
Try pureeing it first. I know I'm on full liquids through week 3, then purees through week 6. It may just be too early for you.

Travelher reacted to Tanette in OCTOBER GBs where are you?!?!
I want to say something. I'm not saying this because it was a diet either. So in my spiritual walk with God there are times when I fast. I fasted for a week. It was a fast that consisted of No food until after 4pm . No meats, No Sweets, No Soda, No Alcohol, No Fried Foods. Even though it was Not a diet I felt amazing. Yes I was hungry at times but then I sipped on Water. While doing this I was gaining strength to be able to do this liquid diet and let his life style change. Once the fast ended I wanted some grilled chicken and turkey burgers . Let me say this my stomach is extremely bloated. I feel like crap right now I was nauseous . It just doesn't feel right. I believe we all can do what we set our minds too. I know believe that I can do this. I probably will not have surgery until the end of Dec but I am going to cut out friend foods the way I use to eat them. And just do chicken and fish. I have a pack of country style ribs in the freezer I will cook and get rid of but after that I must change. I felt lighter and more energized with out eating all that junk everyday. Oh and I lost 12 pounds . Amazing. Glory to God.
