Perfectly stated...

You're good....everyone's an expert...do what works until you can regulate it freely. Have to be hydrated....that's not an option....

I skipped mine today....lol.... Peach cobbler and banana pudding would have destroyed me....

I drink G2 and Regular Gatorade.....down 33 since pre-op three week diet and I'm a almost two weeks post op. Had my check up and my doctor's was like " good....this works for you so you're fine"....

All are different and the same...... I had a he's repaired as well so that's what keeping me in the pureeds for a week. But the pureed menu had scrambled eggs as an option.... So I'm good..... That's all I truly wanted.... Also refried beans with cheese is allowed but not encouraged....lol....

Had my first followup this afternoon. Everything looked good and all is well. I'm on the pureeds and softs the week after that. I'm also allowed to go ahead and get back the gym at the 4 week mark and not the 6 week mark....so I'll be lofting again in two and a half weeks....down 33 in the last 30 days.....8 week appointment scheduled first week in July...and Doc.told me I should be good to drink and enjoy Vegas....just need to make sure I eat on schedule.to make sure there's a buffer...

I exercise normally during my liquid diet phase. I did have a small carb boost ( Hersey kiss ) (spoonful of Peanut Butter) thirty minutes or so before I lifted....I didn't want to let it go since I knew I'd be down for a few weeks.... I'm two weeks post op.... And miss the weights dearly....

You'll be fine...

Two weeks post op currently......going to Vegas at the end of July....thinking mid July I'll see what the effects are with a shot or two....lol...

I was in Sprouts last night...they have it as well...

I mix Isopure and Gatorade or CLite......works pretty good....

My FitnessPal is a full website.....I use that more than the app....

I'm a highschool football coach and I have access to dozens of compression shorts and shorts....one to two sizes smaller provides great support and comfort for me....

Just took a quarter bowl of Boston Market Chicken Tortilla without anything in it.....threw it in a pan with some chicken stock....and then strainned it after it was nicely mixed....lol...took maybe three spoons and was done.....lol.....like...I want to go to sleep right now....

Took my last shot this AM. Couldn't resist weighting myself at the gym, but I'm not mad....I can feel myself hungry, but I'm not mentally starving. My coping mechanism is a sugar free popsicle when I feel like I have to eat. All is still good thus far.....hope everyone is good....

Also.... The pre and post liquid diet are really acting like a sort of bad habit detox.... Just up to me to stay the course...

Thing is.... Now while I'm not able to eat food.... I'm looking at all this stuff I want to cook myself and not remotely looking at fast food.... Like...I want to smoke a brisket and saute some zucchini and squash....lol...

***CRICKETS*** Just got sleeved Monday..or I'd have participated...

I really feel like they gave me too many fluid at the hospital. Peeing frequently and it's almost clear, but I feel stuffed like I can't put too much of anything into my body. Had some foam and a little blood in the middle of the night, but they said that could happen. Gas almost gone... So I'll try and get some more fluid down.

Guess I'll be make ng homemade chicken stock now....lol...

Try some decaff peppermint herbal tea...with some trivia....break up my pallet well....

@Taoz was spot on with his advice.... Everything is much better now... appreciate the info...
