Surgery date 8/1/16!

[WW0747 23]

I just got an email from my surgeons office that 8/1/16 is my surgery date if I want it. Heck yeah! I'll take it.

I'm waiting on official confirmation but it looks like I have date.

6 weeks before the pre op diet starts.

I'm excited.

How did your surgery go? I had a pretty bad reaction to the anesthesia and was miserable but am feeling a bit better today.

Hey @ Diamndgrl @ L. Knight Surgery went well. Very little pain. I always wake up a little out of it from anesthesia. I start the soft food stage today. I'm getting in my liquids. Protein has been a struggle since I'm lactose intolerant now. I think I will try an Isopure Protein Drink. Weight loss is averaging 3-5 lbs. a week.

Congrats on your successful surgery and continued weight loss!! I had my band to bypass revision done on 8/1/16 as well and have I've lost 17 lbs so far. I've been struggling a bit to get in all of my Water but I'm getting there. I'm still on puréed foods and actually start soft foods on Monday and I can't wait! Good luck as you continue on your journey.

Thank you @Wax_Poetic. Excellent work dropping 17 lbs. so far. I found out adding Crystal Lite can help increase Water consumption.

How long til you guys were moved to puréed foods? I'm 10 days out and really want something besides a Protein shake!

@@Diamndgrl I was on full liquids for one week following my hospital stay. After that I was on puréed foods for 2 weeks. I was like you and couldn't wait to eat other foods but it gets old fast (at least it did for me). I ended up eating a lot of puréed fruits and Soups. I am on day 21 post op and finally moving on to soft foods!! I ate a scrambled egg with picante sauce this morning and it was heavenly! Lol

Oh my goodness an egg sounds heavenly!!!! I just met a friend for lunch and had Tomato soup.....again????. I'm sooooo sick of soup! I have my follow up on Wednesday and will hopefully get moved to puréed foods then. I'm craving refried beans!

@@Wax_Poetic how is your weight loss going? I'm only 6lbs down from surgery and I've followed directions to a T. Mine just seems a little slow.

How long were you on liquids?

I was on liquids for 3 days then I was on the puréed stage with yogurt, oatmeal, etc..
