What does SAHM stand for?

I think the shakes taste yucky too! They are to sweet for my taste buds! I found that chocolate mixed with peanut butter is good.

I have a surgery date and I am going to do my sleep study tomorrow night. I also am required to do blood work, EKG, Edg ( i think that is the correct acronym), pre op class, and pre op appt. My surgery date is December 20.

We have a clothing consignment shop nearby and I take all my old but still in good conniption stuff there! I am going to be sleeved in December and I am looking forward to getting rid of all my big girl clothes! Cannot wait, plus I'll get cash back from them too that I can spend on new clothes!!!

Glad to hear you had such a positive experience! Any advice for preparing for this? My surgery date is December 20. I'm very excited but really nervous at the same time!

My surgery is set for December 20 and I am feeling the same emotions! I'm going to use the holidays as recovery time too! I hope I'm ready to go back to school (work) January 7!!!

I am right there with you! My surgery date is set for December 20, and I find myself saying, it's ok right now because in December, there is NO turning back! I think these thoughts are perfectly normal!!!!

I'm having mine done December 20!!! I'm so excited!

LOL! Thanks for the info....just trying to get all this info down! I figured the New Whey was to good to be true! I actually like the taste! Just my luck!

It says in the ingredients Complete Protein Matrix(ids proprietary blend of collagen protein isolate, whey protein isolate, Casein protein isolate). So I guess that is good that it is blended. Also have another weird question....do Spagettio's count as soup? It has 11 g of protein.

I appreciate everyone's response! I'm going to try the unjury tomorrow...I have a couple of samples. How do I determine what kind of protein the drink is?

Does anyone know anything about NEW WHEY liquid protein? I picked it up at GNC today....drank it tonight (Grape) and it was actually decent tasting!

I am on day 1 of my pre-op diet! I should have did more homework in finding a protein drink prior to this day but, I'm here now! I tried Preimere Vanilla Shake this morning...I managed to get over half of it down. My problem with it, was that is was too sweet! So, I drug my husband all over town in search of different protein supplements/shakes. I found several samples and sample packs, one a lady suggested at GNC was NEW WHEY liquid protein. 3.8 ozs. 180 calories, 0 Sugar, 42g protein, Sodium 100 mg, Potassium 50mg. Does anyone know if this an acceptable form of protein for me to be taking? Thanks!

Wow...that is pretty scary! I'm glad your ok! I think your surgeon did the right thing though....the most important thing is your still here and I wish you the best of luck on the 30th!

Way to Go!!!! I'm looking forward to getting rid of my "fat" clothes and buy a new wardrobe!

I am to have the sleeve procedure done on August 13....sugar addiction is one of my major concerns, and another concern is the carbs. Someone said it best on here, they were a carb junkie....that is exactly what I am! It will be a struggle but I'm hoping to keep focused and try my best to keep those cravings to a minimum! I'm glad you posted this....makes me feel like I'm not alone in this fight!

Thanks for sharing! I wish you the very best for a speedy recovery!

MGM I have to agree with a lot of people's comments on here! If he treats you that bad now....he doesn't deserve you! My ex-husband was just like that and I took it for 13 years.....and I finally had to decide that I was too good for him! I am now remarried and even though my hubby is skeptical and would like me to try other things instead of turning to surgery...I know he will be supportive and he deserves to have the skinny me too! Hang in there and love yourself!

Do you still have your band?
