Jay Mack 21 Posted September 4, 2016 My bad. I posted the first day I joined when I didn't know the site very well. What's the RNY? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bpowell16 31 Posted September 4, 2016 Hello guys my surgery date is 9/15. I started liquids on 9/1. I guess I'm a little better because I can have a meal for dinner and one snack a day. After day 3 the cravings disappeared, I've lost 4lbs since starting Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Mack 21 Posted September 4, 2016 Congrats BP! Kadi and I start the liquid diet tomorrow. I just went out and had a small ice cream with the family. Since April I'm down a waist size on my shorts, so I figured a small cup wouldn't kill me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Mack 21 Posted September 5, 2016 I had my first shake this morning and it tasted great. It was Bariatric Advantage vanilla flavored, with 8oz of Water. Much better than vanilla flavored Shakeology which I've tried previously and at less than half the price!

kadi_o 18 Posted September 5, 2016 I've been drinking Vega One. It tastes terrible, but I feel like a million bucks after one, plus 6 servings of greens, and most of the Vitamins and minerals for the day. It tastes so much better with some sugar-free Torani. I usually do shakes in the morning, it's the rest of the day that'll be difficult. Plus we're building a retaining wall today...eep!

Jay Mack 21 Posted September 5, 2016 shakes and Water are all I get, no veggies or vitamins! It's amazing how everyone has a different diet leading up to the big Day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadi_o 18 Posted September 5, 2016 That's why my shake has all my Vitamins (: I can have anything liquid, though. Stage 2 diet, basically. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Mack 21 Posted September 5, 2016 Yes. My shake is the stage 2 diet. But I get 135g of Protein a day with it. Not hungry and I just went food shopping with the family. All stocked up on broth, popcicles, and Jello... Yes all sugar free! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadi_o 18 Posted September 5, 2016 Good job. I am dreading grocery shopping ???? Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpowell16 31 Posted September 5, 2016 I had to set my alarm for every 2hs to make sure I don't forget to eat. I read somewhere never allow yourself to get hungry. I'm going to have a problem because I don't like Jello or pudding. I forgot about the pop icons and could use something sweet right now. I think it's just boredom. I'm pooping like crazy .

Jay Mack 21 Posted September 5, 2016 What about sugar free popcicles & chicken broth? it's the high Fiber shakes! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpowell16 31 Posted September 6, 2016 broth is my friend . I completely forgot about the Popsicle. It's now on my shopping list. I'm going to try pedilyte Popsicles to see if it's tolerable. Something for post op instead of Gatorade. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alemapsept15 7 Posted September 6, 2016 I started my 2 week pre op diet too. The first week is all liquid with one meal a day, and the second week is all liquid. My bypass surgery is the same as bp, 9/15. I start on all liquids only in a couple of days. This is not easy, and I am starting to get nervous! Haven't been able to sleep well either.
