I am in the same boat as you. Sleeved on 18 Dec and down 11 lbs. My surgeon told me to eat at least 800 calories a day and let me tell you, I struggle with this as I am not hungry and the weekends are the worst!! Today I am starting fresh and getting all my Requirements in, protein, water, calories etc. I think it will make a difference in my weight loss also. Sleeved: 18 Dec 2017 SW: 248 CW: 218 5’8

After my final weigh in I went straight to Taco Bell cuz this Goddess was starving! It’s ok!!! Sending you warm hugs!!!

Sounds like you are doing great! Hummus is yum!!!

You, my dear, are simply adorable!!!!

Hi there, have you tried Premier Protein Shakes yet?? They are yummy especially the Strawberry and Cream one! For my Vanilla Protein Shakes, I add a package of peach mango crystal light and it’s taste great! Hope you find what works best for you!!!

I am a very emotional person who enjoys a good cry but I wasn’t ready for the emotional outburst I have my first week post op. Sleeved on 18 Dec. I was bawling like a baby because I didn’t like the number on my scale! Have spoken with my dietician and she has reassured me I am doing great and not to over focus on what my scale says. She also suggested only weighing 2x a week instead of daily.

I haven’t tried them but I am not much of a cookie eater. Maybe you could cut them into 1/4 and have a piece every once in a while when your craving something sweet.

WOW! What a great video which really puts a lot of things in perspective for me!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

I ate a can of Almond Roca throughout my first 2 weeks..it was hella good but I am done no more for this girl who was sleeved on 18 Dec and down 8 lbs so far.

This is exactly why I stopped weighing myself as I was getting extremely upset with the scales! in the morning I would be down then in the afternoon I would be up! drove me crazy so I stopped weighing. Lots of water weight which should settle down soon or later.

Quite a few 18 Dec folks!!!

My Dietician told me I needed to lose 5 pounds on my liquid diet or she would postpone my surgery...not to sure about the truth of it but I am taking it seriously and as of this morning I am down five pounds.

I do 4 Optifast and the vanilla isn’t very yummy so I add so peach mango crystal light and now it tastes like a dreamscicle!

Mine is 4 protein shakes plus sf jello and popsicles also chicken broth. Hasn’t been as bad as I thought!!

Hi everyone! I am Gloria from Beautiful Northern California. My surgery is on December 18 and I am extremely excited about it! For the past five days I have been drinking the five protein shakes which I purchased from my doctor along with eating sugar free Jell-O sugar-free popsicles and chicken broth oh yes and lots of water. I have been weighing every morning and my weight is jumping around sporadically actually scaring me as of right now I weigh 1 pound more than I did at my last doctors appointment. Should I be overly concerned? Should I stop weighing myself daily? Any advice anyone wants to share with me would be greatly appreciated! Oh yeah and I have not cheated once. Thanks!

Hello my surgery twin!! Today I weight 233 which is where I should be but who know where it will be tomorrow! I am having my surgery in Roseville, where are you having your at?

I never thought about that. I will cut back to one cup a day. Thank you so much!!!

Beautiful Northern California—-up past Sacramento

My surgery date is the 18th also!! Woo Hoo!!!! 5 days into my Liquid Diet...

Mine is the 18th also!! Yea us!!

My Dr uses Optifast Protein Shakes-chocolate and vanilla only. I add a Lilly Crystal Light to the vanilla and it tastes like a Dreamscicle!!! I love Premium Protein especially strawberry and cream, banana creme and caramel. I plan on using them post-op. Sugar free jello and popsicles, chicken broth and lots of water. Today is my 5th day and have yet to be hungry which is good!

I am 5 days into my pre-op liquid diet and my weight is bouncing around! Guess I should not be weighing every morning.

Hope you feel better soon!
