Hated it too! Thinking about that stage, makes me gag!

Hi gang! Sleeved on 11/1. Last week felt pretty darn good, except discomfort at largest incision. This week, I am struggling big time! If I walk up the steps, I am exhausted and weak. I can barely shower, and I'm rushing to get thru it so I can lay down. I feel fine if I'm sitting or laying down but as soon as I stand, I'm toast! Exhausted. TBH, I don't think I'm getting enough protein. I just can't take these shakes anymore! It's week 4 of these things and I'm gagging the down. Plus, I can only get about 4oz down every hour. Follow up appt with surgeon is tomorrow so I'll be moving into purée foods-yay! Just needed to vent! I am hoping the purée foods will add energy back into my body!

I can have Greek yogurt in my purée stage!

Thanks guys! I'm already feeling a bit better!! Had my first scrambled egg this morning for bfast and I feel like I have more energy. It might be all mind over matter but I'll take it!

Sleeved 11/1: down 26lbs since pre-op liquid diet 10/16!! Excited about that!! Today is day 1 of purée foods. Had one scrambled egg for bfast but ate only about half of it. This last week was rough with the lack of energy but I know that was due to having nothing in me but liquids. I feel energized already today so I am putting on my sneakers and going outside and walking! Have a great day, folks!!

Me too! Just got my date...11/1/17 with Dr Ing! I cried when they called to say I was approved! I'm am beyond ready! ok folks! 8:30am tomorrow is my go time!! Anxious, excited, and a million of things going thru my head. Talk to you all on the flip side!!

I had my pre-admission testing today for surgery next Wed 11/1. I'm down 14lbs in 10 days since I started the pre-op fluid diet. I'm so excited!!

I had my last appt with the dietician on 9/21. They submitted my paperwork to insurance on 10/2 and I was approved the next day so on 10/4, they called and we scheduled 11/1! I cant believe it's actually happening!

Me too! Just got my date...11/1/17 with Dr Ing! I cried when they called to say I was approved! I'm am beyond ready!
