hang in there brother ..I am so sorry.

I am sorry to hear about the folks who had their surgies cancelled. I worry it may happen to many of us, as this month progresses..Crossing my fingers. Hang in there........ I hear may foks have two weeks of liquid diet. my surgeon and dietician has a reduced preop menu but not all liquids. 6oz of cook meet all white. 2 servings of vegetables with 3 meals and can have 3 more servings of fruits and vegetables. Perhaps folks that are cancelled can try that to stay on track. ( suggestion)\ I have my date the 21st I am so excited and scared.have any of you asked yourself.Why couldnt I do this without surgery?

wishmesmaller I purchased some on the advise on another forum. they have breakfast flavors oatmeal, appled cinnamon. the prices are good on their site and walmart has a sale. Stay encouraged and thank you

prayers out for surgeries this week.We are here for you

Hey guys love and strenght to you all. i have my date july21st I am having the sleeve. We do a two week diet my starts sunday lots of protein in meat or shake and 6 servings of vegetables a day, I found a garlic ad herb grinder seasoning from bjs that is amazing. I even purchased some pans that can cook and the food slides off into the pan without oil. I found I have to find ways to remindmyself to drink. I am going to make frozen popsicles from my protein drink.I purchased popsicle mold from amazon. The biggest thing folks is to get that designated fluid in. The misery is multiplied by dehydration. remember We got this folks !

I heard about premiere protein from other forums. I tasted the peach clear ,tropical punch clear and oates. All are good with 20 grams of protein. the clear needs to be very cold not to get the artifical sugar taste. will let you know more. Folks with the teeth issues hang in there.....

Hello everyone let me tell you what I have gathered so far from using this site. FYI I am approved but no date yet I pray its sooner than later. I am starting the lived cleanse sunday anyway. I firgured while on focus use it to my advantage. Heres some good stuff *Premiere proteine shakes and water are very reasonable in price so far I have tried the oates flavored shake it was awesome! I purchased most of mine from walmart and amazon. I also have flavored water I will report in as I use them. If anyone finds the rasberry clear let me know. * all of you are fantastic ! I feel the group share is wonderful to help someone others as well as myself ..Thank you

anyone exercising ?

Guys I am right behind you ...will order my premier tomorrow

jrt mom we did the same thing. I was so scared when I was having my band removed I just wanted to heal . and now almost 4 years later I am 40 lbs heavier. I am trying to take the approach ....I did what I did because I though it was best for me at that time. I try to be more enthusiast about my furture. I am being more proactive about my eating. I made a vegetable of the week club. last week was eggplant. I did three greaat things with it. I made and eggplant omlete, slice eggpland with sweet peppers over jasmine rice and slice and fried with hummus .all very good . who knew! we have this !

Suzyq7519 I am not sure of your age but please know the natural process of metabolism slows down. Do some reading on plateauing. Fro what I had read you have to add weight, to ignite your metabolism. I cant weight to say weight loss like you have acheived. This is not the time to get down. More weight loss will get you off that BP med. Read up on your meds; They have tendencies to react with fluid retension for some folks.

MimiMarigold Thats a terrible feeling. Do you have a hernia? Mine was 20 minutes. I received the crystals and water and the barium . Just belching I did feel not myself for a coupld of days.I did drink alot of water to get it going outward. Congrts on the weight loss.

Over65 Please!.............................................................Stop beating yourself up. Are you able to add weight to your body when walking. I have been reading about plateauing. Please also remember being blessed to be a particular age, one must remember the slower metabolism challenges. See if you can find some ideas online and please share them. You got this !

ChubRub more good ideas that could be incorporated into one's life.Thanks for the ideas keep it coming. Anyone parking their car further away to get in more steps?

chunkarella make your own broth......they have bone broth with less sodium . they have envelops with low sodium as well. boil a chicken but it in the freezer add some herbs and there you go ....We got this !

PollyEster......................................................................................................................................whew so on point ! I loved it so much I am sharing it today on a webnar that my surgeon is having. Whiel reading this I felt a pow to the worry of this procedure and life changes. Thank you ! loridee11 I am doing a vegetable per week I have never eating before. I realized I lived a lifetime of limited vegetable usage. I am learning to try and live and learn. Thank you all
