Well I’m officially out of the Juneies, my surgery has been rescheduled for July 1st. My creatine levels were bad, so to get my kidneys back I line, they are sliding me down two weeks.

Every post op plan seems so different depending on surgeon - I see some allowed cream of wheat or grits- I’d kill for that right now some way to get savory I’m a week out from ds and no problems getting Protein or fluids - no nausea - minus the thought of consuming any more Protein added broth-

Mine I'm supposed to do all Protein Shakes until 2 weeks post op which is Monday. I did try a tiny bit of reduced fat cream of chicken today and it was fine but I'm really supposed to be waiting until Monday,

Anyone have an suggestions for a savory liquid? I’m only on day one of the pre-op but I have a feeling I’m going to get tired of the sugary Protein Shakes.

Hi, My name is Aimy and I am 43. Currently, I live in Honolulu, HI with my husband, two cats, and a dog. I am grandmother of 2 Step Grandchildren and 2 Biological grandchildren from my Son, and will have a new Grandson in September from my Daughter. Both my children followed in my footsteps and married at 20 years old! Oy Vey! I have sleep apnea, arthritis, and acid reflux. I will be moving to our next duty station in VA in August. (My husband is a United States Navy Submariner). My surgery is scheduled for June 24th! I am excited and nervous. I am on day two of my full liquid diet and I haven't felt hungry but I am burping a lot. Strange right?! I set a timer on my phone to go over every 10 minutes to remind me to drink. I good at consuming over 64 oz. of Water a day, but I want to be in the habit of taking sips every 10 minutes. It is nice to have this forum to interact with others going through the same things! I look forward to getting to know you all more!

V-8 and I rimmed the glass with celery salt. It was heavenly. 🤣 chicken and beef broth, Tomato Soup, strained French onion from the can. I also did creamy Tomato which is a little higher cal but I was much fuller from it sooner so ate very little.

I hope everyone who is recovering and preparing are in the best spirits. I'm reading and taking notes on everything being shared. I went to do my labs today, before my pre- op appt. on June 27th so the Bariatric team can get a realistic look at what we need to do to get me surgery ready. My A1C is back up to 5.8 from 5.3, I'm anemic/iron deficient, had 3 periods since May 3rd (currently on the 3rd one), went to get an ultrasound today so I can get to the source of this body drama...On week 3 of my Options class (Kaiser 12 weeks mandatory), I've lost almost 30 pounds since last September....so I thought I was doing great and now all of this body drama. Today, I honestly feel scared & confused. My stress levels have already been high, I'm thankful for this platform and staying encouraged via all of you and your strength.

That's no fun. I hope they can give you some answers soon. Do what you can to bring your stress down -- maybe that will help.
