OMG soooo excite! Bought my Protein Powder for my liquid diet. Going to spend the next few days ordering some things I need off Amazon. Have a work conference this week, and start my liquid diet next Thursday 10/12. SOOOOO GLAD the timing on that worked out! It would have been miserable trying to faithfully do the liquid diet while at a conference lol

off topic but how do you get that cool ticker on your profile that shows your current weight and loss

How is the surgical pain? That’s what I worry about


It feels like being sore from doing crunches and being gassy. Im going back to work tomorrow. I have to remind myself no heavy lifting or turning fast.

Ok gassy I did not know that. Work next day so soon sounds promising. I’m self employed so hard to miss work. Soreness I can deal with. I don’t know why I’m worried I had a brain surgery 2 years ago for a tumor so I’m sure it’s not that bad. The food part is biggest worry to get it right and I’m 1 week into liquid first and so far so good but it is starting to tast rather stale. My doctor is strict in only weggies inside the shake. Will get through it and loose the weight

One week from today! Can't believe it's this close. I still have bouts of nerves, but overall I'm settling down. I'm ready to begin this new phase of my life!

How much time do you a plan to take off work? I am a cashier supervisor so 8 hrs on my feet and some lifting and brain work my surgeon wants me off 4 weeks I am hoping to go back sooner

I’m taking 2 weeks because I work at a desk and I do drive to home visits but no real heavy lifting... and to be honest I plan to still put hours in while I’m at home... so my work laptop will be coming home. I just really don’t want to be overwhelmed when I return to work...

If I had a job with lifting I would take more time for sure! My husband’s good friend had a different surgery and he died due to internal bleeding.. his kids said he was still going about living like he hadn’t had an operation. It was very sad.

I do have a 2 yr old son and I’ve been getting him ready for this for a few months now. He now walks everywhere and holds my hand, he will climb into our van and he’ll climb into his seat. He enjoys getting out of the seat too and then jumps out of the van. That was my biggest worry. This last month I’ve been trying to just comfort him by sitting down and I’ll hold him when he needs it. He’s fully transitioned into his own room and bed and hasn’t crawled in with us in a number of weeks. I’m sad about that, but after I recover it won’t matter. I just didn’t want him to experience shock of mama being so different it would frustrate him or something.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
