Eventer826 35 Posted February 20, 2018 The first day or so was tough, just getting the routine going and getting used to drinking all of the Water also.I coach soccer, and Florida is hot. But I probably drink about 160-200 oz of water a day. No problem. But I use a straw. I'm going to miss my straws.Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrandiLynn 45 Posted February 21, 2018 I am having the surgery on March 9. I am very nervous/excited also. I would like to have kept my surgery a little more private but have received a lot of advice from a coworker who is a fellow sleever. So instead of assuming they will keep my confidence I have been pretty open about it. Also my mother-in-law, who can't hold Water, saw my obesity surgery folder. Normally I am very private person so this is a little uncomfortable for me, but I am hoping it will help hold me accountable. 4 Losingit2018, PeacockConnie, Eventer826 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was told to puree approved food and store it in ice cube trays in the freezer- since that's the correct portion size... Thoughts? My program doesn't do a puree stage. We go from liquids to a soft solid stage. Right now I have just prepared for the Optifast diet. I start it on Saturday and do it for 4 weeks until surgery.
