Mine is scheduled for May 25th. I have two young girls too...6 and 8 plus a 9 month old Newfoundland puppy. I am kept on my toes with them and my work. I am planning on taking two weeks off work. I am wanting to be over the liquid only part of the recovery before I have to go back to work. I am also nervous about this surgery and hope and pray that it is what finally works to help me lose this excess weight! Good luck to you on your journey. I look forward to hearing how you have done!

I am scheduled for May 25th in Concord, NC. I am not required to do the liquid diet pre-op but I have been trying to figure out which Protein powders I can tolerate. I have tried the unjury and that really bothered my stomach. I have also tried several of the premixed shakes and they made me sick. The only one that I seem to be able to tolerate is the muscle milk. I used the banana cream one and added berries. What other protein sources have people used during their liquid only phase? I will meet with my nutritionist at two weeks post op so I know they will help me with the transition to soft foods. I am very nervous about the surgery but I know that this is my best shot at getting my weight under control. Keep me in your prayers!
