Not losing weight on the pre op diet
AmandaWho replied to Jennrn1027's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try sodium free broths and the protein shakes. I lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks. -
No Negative Comments! Did anyone cheat during Pre op
AmandaWho replied to Misha42000's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was supposed to be in liquids only. Clear, sodium free liquids. I definitely had a pickle every day after the first 5 days of my 2 week diet and the dr said my liver was tiny. But I needed to chew something because I was gonna lose it. It was a pickle or something worse so I opted for he pickle. -
Pre-op diet starts tomorrow ...it's getting real now!

Get the sodium free broth packets. They are a life saver. They breakup the protein shakes with flavor but don't make you gain/retain weight/water because here isn't any salt. They come in chicken and beef and they're in the soup isle. They're less than $2 per box but you do need 2 packets because of the lack of salt. -
One day post op and they keep bringing me drinks and food in the hospital but I have zero appetite! What do I do?

If the* beverages are luke* warm. Sorry for the typos!

Shoulder pain post op
AmandaWho replied to hmills653's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Unfortunately you do have to tough it out. I have he shoulder pain too and it's driving me nuts! -
I find it hurts less if he beverages are like warm. Even a little cool bothers me. We can be journey buds if you'd like! I was done Wednesday at 2pm! They were so backed up I didn't get to a room til 9pm!

So far I've been getting 40oz water in, I know it's not the total I need but I'm doing the best I can. Also I've been doing 3-4 10 minute walks around me neighborhood so I'm getting the walking in. Protein however, still a struggle.

My surgery is tomorrow and I just want to hear some success stories from your first month or 2 after surgery. I keep reading about people freaking out because the weight isn't falling off, so I want to hear stories from people who were content and happy with what and how they lost weight right after surgery. Thanks!

Success stories, please.
AmandaWho replied to AmandaWho's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so happy for all of you and all of your success and I hope I can find the same success too! -
I've been focusing on water before protein. My stomach can only handle so much but like you've all said, water first. And walking too! Thank you all again. You've been such a huge support throughout my journey!

Success stories, please.

Thank you all so much for sharing your stories! I'm even more motivated for tomorrow now! -
But with all of your wisdom and kind words, I did! My surgery is tomorrow morning! I find out after 4pm the exact time but who cares! I made it! And I lost 15 lbs which I feel good about since I started at 215. Thank you all again so much for your encouragement! I hope I can encourage those of you who still have some time to go! Thanks again!
