So yesterday I threw up for the first time since surgery. I think I was eating too fast (was at work and trying to squeeze lunch in to a busy night on an OB floor) I will not make that mistake again!!
However, ever since then I have not felt so

Can't wait to be on the losers bench! Thanks for all the supp

What were your staples for your liquid phase after surgery? I have surgery next Monday and want to make sure I have what I need in the house so I don't have to venture to the store after having surgery.

So my liquid preop diet started yesterday. I can have 4-5 protein shakes a day and 2-3 fruit/green vegetable servings a day. And of course my 64 oz of water!

Anyone on here that has had the sleeve and works night shift? Just wondering what your eating plan looks like at night?
Also do you think nights has impacted your progress at all? Always have felt it's been harder for me to lose weight working

So I am moving along with all my pre op requirements, but I just feel like it's taking so long!! Was hoping surgery would end up being before the year was over but with how things are going I'm thinking it won't be till after the first of the year. I

So I am not even close to surgery yet but am determined to find protein that I like while I do my pre-part requirements.
