My surgery is the 26th..... I’m a nurse at a psychiatric inpatient hospital... today has been really stressful.... my anxiety is already up in relation to the upcoming surgery . There was chocolate candy everywhere..... and realized when I’m this stressed and anxious I normally self medicate with chocolate! I didn’t give in pushed through, and very proud, but worried how am I going to break this relationship between my stress and food.... that’s how I got here!

I have the band and have suffered 10+ years with it. Not sure what damage has been done to my stomach by the band. I told my surgeon that I prefer the sleeve but he can go ahead with Rny if he needs to. But he did warn that it may have to be two surgeries

Miss tee how long were you out? I was going back after a week but a little worried as I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts . Was only going to stay out a week

It’s the optifast brand

It’s protein tomato soup but is pretty decent.

Good idea thanks

Thankfully my big Disney vacation isn’t till October

My pre surgery diet is opti fast 800 and it’s 5 products a day three of which have to be shakes... I’m digging the soup. Tomato protein soup and I’ve been putting powdered ranch in it (0 cal carbs and fat). I’m not digging the chocolate shakes so much but the vanilla I added coffee flavor to and sugar free Carmel syrup it’s tasty that way

Hi everyone... I’m scheduled for April 26th. I have been on liquid for 5 days. I’m loving watching the scale drop down but missing the chewing! Going to zoo tomorrow with the family... will be a true test of this liquid diet.
