    It is getting real. I'm not on full liquids tomorrow but I am switching my last meal for lunch instead of dinner. Then will be liquids only after that. Safe travels to all of you leaving tomorrow!

    I woke up at 5am AGAIN! Argh. Hope everyone is having a great day so far! I've cleaned, put things away in the semi done kitchen I have. Registered my kid in swimming at the schools. Went grocery shopping. Back home now to clean. All with three kids in tow. I've got so much energy, not sure where it came from. My hubby told me last night "don't go wearing yourself out" I'm sure I'll be tired. We're going to the beach later too. It'll be a long day.

    1 Week Liquid Pre-op

    Newme17 replied to cassablast's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions

    Everyone is different. I don't think there's a general guide for it either. So, do your best! The weight will go down.

    Problem is...I can't sleep. Stomach is just growling here. I might consider getting a protein water, but that makes me super thirsty. I don't want to get up to use the restroom in the night either. I forgot my pickles at work and I had my limit of carrots I should have gone to the store..... What to do? what to do?
  6. Newme17
    Amen

    Mine is at bedtime. I used to eat a snack or cereal right before bed. Even now, my stomach is growling. I'm drinking coffee to help. Going to sleep early again.

    Man I thought me having to be at the hospital at 7 was early. I'm sure you'll be done and out by the time I roll in. 😂

    Pre Op Liquid Diet Starting Today

    Newme17 replied to travelergirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I'm almost to the end, Sunday is my last day. In the beginning, I went to bed early. My diet is a little different but was still hard and tough mentally and physically in the beginning. You can do this. It just gets easier and easier.
  10. Newme17
    Been easier everyday for me. It's actually pretty easy to pass up junk.
  11. Newme17
    I haven't gone grocery shopping. Mainly cause my kids won't eat what I cook and I can't cook for a lack of kitchen (still renovating). I want to cook pretty bad, but it might be another few weeks. For now I use my table to prep what little I could do. All that to say, I am supposed to have veggies with my meat for dinner. I got full real quick off of a few ounces of meat. I couldn't even fathom having veggies too. I was never a big eater to start with (a small children's plate would be my norm), but the quality got me in trouble. Anyone find they're getting fuller much quicker than before?

    Whoo whoo!!!
  13. Newme17
    I hope you are too.
  14. Newme17
    Aw shucks. That's a pain. I'd sleep as much as possible too.

    Beans- the magical fruit?

    Newme17 replied to deanalyn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Well that's interesting...I love them. Especially black beans...never get gassy...so it makes sense! Thanks for sharing.

    Does everyone know what time on Monday their surgery is? Mine is at 9am.
  17. Newme17
    I do too. I've gotten used to decaf and have been on the fence about whether going back to caffeine or not.
  18. Newme17
    Sure hope you got your sleep in @Apple1 I'm the opposite, I've been waking up at 5am wide awake this past week or so. Wish I would stop doing that. Surgery isn't even on my mind when I wake up. Ugh. Maybe it's subconsciously, I don't know.

    Day 11 pre-op:

    Another busy day. My baby girl turned 4 today. Had her party today as well. Didn't want to do it on the weekend...way too busy at those kid pizza places. Anyway, forgot about water during the party, I'm parched. Will need to get better at that (being super busy and drinking water). I ate a salad with the most ridiculous amount of grilled chicken on it. I even questioned the oz. Hmm....? 

    Anyway, had appt with the surgeon yesterday and my post op directions. All is well. Labs were perfect. Took a mini test, he said I got a 100 and there was nothing to school me on. Nut went over post op directions. Main keys are:

    1) eat when you're hungry. 2) water, water, water  3) get protein in 

    no counting calories, etc  good! I have to learn to listen to my body, as I've always known that's the way for me. It's what I used to do at my healthy weight, so I know I can and will do it again. 

    Three more days of pre-op. The end is near to the beginning of another chapter.

      Yay yippeeee! Wishing your baby a happy birthday!!!!!! Nothing like a preschooler birthday to end the week off and the starting of next week with something also eventful.

    I couldn't find my list. But probably what Sweet said. I would think the hospital or lab would know what to draw for it.
  21. Newme17
    Me too!
  22. Newme17
    Yay! No more back fat. Mines not disappearing yet. My belly has gotten smaller though. May this point, I don't think the caloric intake really matters as long as we're hitting protein. Even if we're lower than 1000 cal a day, it's just another way to prep ourselves for the months that we'll be lower. My nut hasn't mentioned anything about calories. All I have to focus on is protein intake, eating ONLY WHEN HUNGRY, and water. That's it.
  23. Newme17
    I've thought of switching meals too. Haven't yet, but I'll keep that in mind for the weekend for sure.

    Christian sleevers ?

    Newme17 replied to Aliyah14's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    So, I had a dream last night. Most of my church family was at my surgery. Someone had asked me for prayer while I was on the operating table. When I started to pray, all the church family started a worship service. The surgeon hadn't started yet and told me to wait. He stepped over and worshipped with them. There was more more detail but too much to write. I'm in great Hands! God is good. Bless His name.

    Well thank goodness...I thought it was pre-op diet day 8, but it's really 9.  So, today went just ok again.  Will be busy tomorrow so I need to make sure I have stuff handy while I'm out and about.  I've noticed I've been on edge with my kids, hubby, work, and all the posts about genepro, stalls, and stretching the sleeve...doing my best to contain myself.  I know most of it is in my head, cause my body is being sustained with something at least.  Sucks to not eat a regular healthy meal, but hey, it's all for my health and it's temporary. I think I'll take a break tomorrow from logging in...I need to breath.  :)

    Ya'll have a blessed night and great day tomorrow!

      The edge is normal. Lol. Well, I took my breather. Feel much better. Had an awesome dream about my surgery last night. Such peace this morning. Don't think I'll navigate too much on the forums today.

      I am glad you are feeling better. I say stay away from them for the time being. Your surgery is soon. Do not need negative vibes, only positive energy. Good for the heart and soul.

      @Sweet as peaches how are you doing over there lol?

      I'm doing well thanks. Hanging in there last minutes things to do but otherwise manageable. And what's happening with you? Any new recipes?😎
