Im the chick that started this post. Bipolar 2 and im 3 weeks post op and doing great. No regrets!

Surgery was June 14th I got my surgery outside of Los Angeles which is where I live and therefore I cannot see my nutrionist in person. She suggested: 1,000 calories/day 35 grams of carbs max 70 grams of protein minimum 15 gm of sugar max 86 ounces of fluids I wanted to see how this compared to other people. Please tell me what you think. It just seems like the fat is awfully small for the carbs to be so low. I am only at stage 2 where I am having protein shakes and nonfat greek yogurt mostly until Wendesday when I can eat soft foods. Let me know. Thanks!

OOps I forgot to mention this stage was liquids to puree stage not just pure liquids. It was on my diet that I could have nonfat greek yogurt ad sugar free pudding.

My mom says stop being so hard on myself...but here it goes. I am on the full liquids stage and I feel like I have been having too much sugar free pudding :/. Does anyone know how many carbs, sugar, fat, sodium, and calories I should be having at each stage to achieve optimal weight loss? Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Thank you all so much for replying. I totally get that the surgery is probably the least scary part in this. I am anxious about how I will feel after the surgery. I mean even a month or year after. I have done my research and I get cognitively what I have to do to be successful. I also know how to lose weight and im in therapy to deal with my food issues. What i dont know is what is going to be my ACTUAL individual experience and I wont until I live it and thst scares me and causes me anxiety especially when I see dome horror stories on here. I want to feel encouraged and to see the bodies. We will all respond to this differently

June 14th

My surgery is on June 14th! Ahhhh!! I can't believe how quickly it has gotten here and yet at the same time the days at work keep dragging on and on. I am going to TJ on the 13th and my best friend will be accompanying me. I have done my research and have not been anxious about it in awhile but it has finally hit me. I started my 2 week pre op all liquid diet today. It sucks but I am sticking with it. I am so scared of the unknown and especially about some of the things that I have been reading. I know that I am making the right decision but at the same time, in a way I don't know what I am getting myself into because I haven't experienced it yet! Please share with me your experiences and any words of reality and/or encouragement regarding this life changing procedure. Thanks!

I will tell you how it goes. In june 14th

Thank you. I guess I am just too sensitive for this place. Im going to make mistakes and id like to be forgiven occasion. If I didnt anything to offend, hurt, or irritate anyone. I sincerely apologize. Best of luck to all of you and thanks to those who gave me another chance to support me. It meant the world!

Thank you for your input. I have already apologized. Im soryy im sorry im sorry. Bad girl kinipela24! Can we all move on and forgive me? Im sorry. Ive stopped posting on here because its not for me but I keep getting positive and negative replies. Again bad me! I can only move on frr here. Either we let it go and move on or i can keep getting replies. Im sure she appreciates your reply. Its always cpmforting when others do that for you! All the best again. I deeply apologize...my bad! Jeeze

Agreed and very well stated. Thank you!

That makes a lot of sense. I tend to lose and gain very easily as well. Two months. I'm still excited. I know no matter what the amount, if I do my best I will still be much better than I was.

I appreciate that and I did not mean to put out a negative vibe. I have to accept that this is a journey and not a race. You are completely right and I am a work in progress. I am going to think realistically and positive. I appreciate your thoughtful response.

Thank you.
