I am finally home! I could have been released yesterday but because of the pain I decided to stay an extra day. Everything is going well! Sipping and walking are taking up most of my time!

I'm glad you are doing better how about that sipping and walking sounds like too much fun for my tast

I'm new to here and i'm so excited that i've got my surgery date of Sept 26th at 8am!! I did my blood work and chest x-ray yesterday. Monday I see the dietician to get everything set for the week of my liquid diet .

I first started this journey by going to a seminar on May 14th and can't believe my surgery day is almost here. Of course I researched about the surgery for about 2 years before so its been a long road with a light at the tunnel :)

Surgery Monday af 930am...very nervous about if i did my week long liquid diet correctly..... Everything i ate was (with the help of my "Ninja", was smooth and watery like instant potatoes) broth and Protein shakes.. No solids or soda at all... But just to be on the safe side, i am doing Clear Liquids Saturday and Sunday.. Excited and nervous, i am so happy that my husband and kiddos are so supportive..

I felt the same exact way!! I thought i would be eating a ton but my diet pepsi i miss dearly! I dont think i have as much as an emotional attatchment to food as most. My issue is not eating all day then eating a huge meal for dinner.< /p>

Hello everyone. I've been so busy this past week with work and being a wife and mom, that I've been reading, but haven't had time to comment much.

So, a big congratulations to all of you that had your surgery!! It's so great to hear from you and know you're doing well.

For those of us having surgery this week, yeah!!! I will be praying for you!!

For those of us having surgery in Monday, can you believe it's only one more day and a wake up?!?!

For the new September members, a warm WELCOME to you! I'm Maria and happy to have you as part of the family. Everyone here is so supportive. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you!

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Welcome Kimmy you are the day after me we will be recovering together! I will add you to our list

Lexi so glad you made it through! I was one of those people that put off the WLS for years because of my diet pepsi addiction! Then my know it all (always right to ) daughter made me quit soda 2 years ago. I was having god awful pains in my legs that no doctor could figure out why. 2 weeks after i stopped drinking any soda and replaced it with Water those pains went away and they only come back if I drink a diet pepsi more then 2 in a week. so I usually just dont drink any soda at all. thats one hurdle I already crossed in this new way of life. now for caffeine!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
