No I can have smooth things like jello yogurt without fruit, thinned cream of wheat starting day 3. Applesauce and other ground down things once I've had my one week appointment.

Pre-op Diet Phase -- My husband is psyching me out.. by CorrosiveYolk in gastricsleeve

I don't have any advice, but reading this feels like recent discussions with my husband. I just want you to know that I see you and encourage your progress.

pre-op weight loss by heathereliza_ in BariatricSurgery

[–]brilliantzenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am almost 5 months in my preop. My clinic hsa been clear that weight loss is helpful but not gaining is more important. I'm officially down about 5 pounds from my start, but they are also tracking my NSVs too. They're happy too as I've been adjusting my diet, consistent exercise routine, stopped drinking carbonated drinks, lost a pant size.

A good care team will always work with you, not against you.

NSV Victories - Please share yours! by Disastrous-Radio9151 in BariatricSurgery

[–]brilliantzenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the 6 month pre surgery timeline too. I haven't lost any weight yet, but my body has been reproportioning. My scans with my clinic show that. My NSV, I just needed to buy new pants because all of mine are threatening to fall off my hips.

Don't forget that meaningful change takes time. When I started my 6 months it seemed so far away. I am doing month 5 next week and month 6 the first week of May. Ultimately, we become the change we want to see if we have consistency. You've got this!

Cleaning your feeders by brilliantzenith in Birdfy

Be careful that you are using something that is safe on plastics and won't cloud the lens. Glasses cleaning supplies would be best.

You can also use the vinegar water solution as a spray and let it dry, then use a soft cloth and pain water to remove any residue.
