Well i went for my pre-op testing today when my date is on the 15th and they did a nasal swab and popped positive for MRSA so i have to do a week of antibiotics, now i always thought this was highly contagious??? or boils?? i feel fine i am so confused!!!! so now i dont know when i will have this done, cause i had to sched this during Xmas break so i didnt have to re-sched anything else so this is all messed up right now, after all the flipping problems i had with this liquid diet im PISSED

Thanks Joan its just alot of people are saying i shouldnt have this done, i mean they will support me when i do, its just i have a week left and they are trying to talk me out of it, saying just diet, i have i lost 50lbs last year on a diet and gained it all back from Jan till now gained all 50 plus 10 more that sucks...i have been up and down all my life, never in my life have i shopped off the rack in a store, i keep telling myself i need this, then i get to talking to someone about it and i start to doubt again....i need a cheering squad,,, Im glad you are doin well though and Pinto beans and cheese sounds awsome, didnt think you could have that a week out i thought that was 3-4wks????..im thinking of Xmas and what i will be able to enjoy 10 days out..arghh

Tell me i am gonna be fine... I was just having a convo with hubby about the upcomming surgery, having doubts, worried and scared...i think i am so upset at this point i am willing to say anything to change my mind, then i think how unhealthy i am, and i want to do so much with my 7yr old son, but i cant, i worry if i will EVER be able to eat the foods i love again, not as in gorging but will i be able to have a slice of pizza again, rather then 6 slices i used to have, will i be able to have a cheeseburger with some fries again? not a whole big mac and large fries and a coke with an apple pie, i am just so worried i will never have the foods i love again but in small amts here and there...i know i need this bad cause i am hungry all the time, right now i am cause this diet is kicking my @ss.....any words of wisdom

I dont get it, so many people have said there is no taste what so ever with the unflavored, and thank gawd i am not the only one who noticed the foul smell and taste...i dont see me ordering from them any longer which stinks cause soooo many people said it was awesome...i understand how the chocolate one taste just like chocolate milk, but i hate milk, BLECK so thats why the Alpine Punch Isopure is the only one that is not making me sick, and will come in handy for after surgery since all you can do is sip, well thats all i can do with the isopure, now with the atkins shake i have to gulp it to get it down fast which i will have a problem with after surgery, i meet with the Dr tomorrow after my pre0op testing and i will discuss with them the issues i am having with these milky products BLECK cause i HAVE to get the protein in...kinda worried now

Well at least i am not the only one who found the unflavored Unjury to be gross!!! have yall tried the flavored ones yet??? i havent cause i am not a milk drinker so this is so hard for me..the Isopure with SF kool aid sounds pretty good, the Alpine Punch wasnt that bad to me anyways, couldnt "down it" i took half and drank some the then the other half later, i even do that with my Atkins shakes, drink half cause its so sickn sweet to me i wanna hurl..LOL

Sal thats great news, i hope it maintains for your appt... OMG i finally opened one of the packs of Unjury i got in the sample pack, i made orange drink from Crystal Light and poured the unflavored Unjury in it, and OMG what in the world was that? it smelled sooo bad and unflavored my behind it tasted like crap, im sorry that was more gross then the Atkins shake i was drinking, i just needed more protein and thought hey its unflavored, NEVER AGAIN has anyone else tried this?? and the smell was puktred if thats a word...LOL if i dont get control of these shakes i am getting from lack of food i dont know what will happen, its the shakes you get when your surgar is below 70 i am not diabetic but i am insulin resistant cause of pcos and i dont like feeling like this, i am so glad i go to the Dr for some pre-op testing on Friday

I am Tricare Prime as well (south region) and was approved right away back in August...mine is on the 15th...the liquid diet sucks but something that has to get done, dont over do the broth like i did on day one cause by the end of the night all 3 cans threw the day came right back up...good luck

Thanks...thats what i did tonight, i had some skinless chicken tenders i baked with some lemon pepper on it and had 1.5 just to calm me down, nothing like out shopping all day, the sights and smells of the holidays the stress of people all were getting me down...i wanted a cesear salad sooooo bad today from Applebees but i said no and cried, OVER A SALAD...LOL

I cannot stand this hunger i am on day 7 of this damn diet and i am starving i am drinking the atkins shakes and broth and the other stuff that does not fill me up, i am getting such stomach cramps from hunger and sick to my stomach i cannot take it no more!!!! i sure as heck hope this goes away soon

Renee, I bought the what to eat after weightloss surgery book, and a couple others which have awesome recipes for each stage, looking over then to see what i may possibly be able to eat for Xmas since that would be 10 days out, i guess i will wait and see but those books are awesome

Yeah i am on day 6 of the diet and lost 10lbs

Pork skins are high in fat!!! some people are on different diets some drs will allow veggies and chicken, others like mine are asking me to do pure liquid, its hard i will tell you that i am on day 6 i am not getting what i am supposed to get in like the shakes cause they are bleck, but i try 1.5 atkins shakes, broth a yogurt for mid morning snack and my cottage cheese for dinner, i am allowed to have a smal super small peice of chicken only cause i was shaky, but thats up to your Dr...its tough i am struggling every day
