Yay!!

Awesome!! SO glad to hear you are doing so well!! Good for you!! 

That's WONDERFUL news!! Glad to hear everything is going so well :) 

This is SO encouraging because I REALLY want to start gardening but have always had those excuses too!! Maybe this will become my new hobby :) I have been trying to work with indoor plants for a while now and really enjoy it :)

Good for you!! What a great way to look at it :)

Yay!! That's so awesome!! I am so glad to hear it :) Good for you!!

I am WAY too much of a weenie  otherwise I would! 

woohoo!! Good for you!! Yay!

That's wonderful!! I know how much of a relief that can be!! Yay!! And it's not crazy of you to want to do your liquid diet sooner just in case, but it may not be a good idea. My NUT was saying it's not good to stay on it for a long period of time, and if you don't get a date sooner, you may have problems from being on it already? I don't know. I would wait though - I know it's exciting, but they will give you a plan, just stick to that!!

Congrats :)

I took some about 3-4 weeks out. I asked my NUT and she said it should be fine except for the bubbles. But she said it was up to me if I wanted to take it but she didn't see a problem. I took it for 3 days and never had a problem with it! I LOVE this stuff. It works every time!!

Hope that helps :)

Thank you! My NUT deals only with WLS patients so I know she is coming from a good place. I think my surgeon's office has a different approach to it which is what scared me in the beginning. But I knew I could go on a plan that would work for me regardless. I am getting between 60-90 grams of protein a day. So that I have figured out. But my I am not eating any veggies or fruit because I can't afford the calories unless I want to compromise my protein. The only way to do it all is to up the calories. If I was losing weight like this, then I wouldn't agree with her. But I am not. I am not losing at any consistent pace. And although I am only 7 weeks out. I have been eating on my current plan for about 4-5 weeks. I stalled bad and now I am again. This is all SO frustrating! I can't stand it! Anytime I have ever done anything before, the more I ate, the more I lost. (and I don't mean bad meals, but good ones). It's hard to not listen to my NUT AND everyone on here but it makes it more confusing!!

Thank you!! I am not losing like that - maybe that's why she is concerned? Also she knows I was tired a couple of weeks ago! But when I started drinking water I got better. But I also notice if I workout I am VERY tired all day and even into the weekend, regardless of my calories or carbs. I don't know why this is all so confusing. It should be a lot easier than this at 7 weeks out - maybe I am too hard on myself - I don't know.

Thanks for the input!!

Thank Deb!! That totally makes sense! I think you are right. I still need to do it for me! It helps me to see visually what I am feeling in my body and how to adjust from there!!

You are an awesome encouragement! I really appreciate your help :)
