I work at SAMs in Memphis & we carry the Premier Protein bars now. Their shakes are by far my favorite. We only have vanilla & chocolate but I was told that Costco has strawberry too but I haven't checked that out

As far as the last supper idea, our NUT said clear liquids only the day before. And if there is any solid food in the bowel at all it can be dangerous & surgery will be called off. Soooo, I'd suggest doing the last supper two days before or even the night before you start your preop diet.

I got my date! December 6! Which also happens to be my 11th grand child's due date. I'm sure he will make his appearance a week or two before that though.

Denise1217, I'm from Memphis! I live in Olive Branch, MS but work, shop, go to the dr etc in Memphis. My surgeon is Dr Wegner at St Francis. Tomorrow I go for my appt to schedule surgery!

I agree with soccermama. Better to find out for sure to be on the safe side. Just worrying can make you crazy!

I got my approval today!! My appt with the surgeon is Wednesday to get my date! It's starting to feel real now!

I think you're safe. A week and a half ago would have been the 16th or 17th? Your fertile days are approx 3 days before - 3 days after you ovulate. How did you determine your ovulation date? It should be 14 days after the onset of your last period ( if you're normal, which I am not) HTH.

Got my results from the breath test.,.negative! Now to get this show on the road!

Oops! I re read that AFTER I posted **rotten** burp! Not rooter! Lol

Did you have any symptoms from the bacteria before they diagnosed you? Since the day after Christmas I've been having the rooter burp, explosive diarrhea and vomiting. It's sporadic, no common factor or pattern. I even thought maybe my husband was poisoning me. Lol. My PCP says those aren't the symptoms of H Pylori but after my treatment I only had it once. I was retested Thursday with the breath test. Waiting to hear the results. Oh, and did they try to pull a fast one on ya like they tried on me? I went to the pharm to pick up the meds & she said $593.00. I 'bout choked! She called the dr back & she changed it to generic....$12.00! Shoulda done that in the first place!

I tested positive for H pylori too. I had a lot of the same symptoms you did. The bitter taste lasted for the whole 14 days I was on the meds. When I'd eat, I'd get that weird cramping too. I hope this is not TMI but I was on the potty for 40 minutes trying to pass whatever it was, almost puked while I was in there & almost fainted too every day the cramping got better though.

Your surgeon should recommend which one is right for you when you sit down and consult with him. I was certain that I wanted the sleeve but since I am diabetic my surgeon said gastric bypass is the way to go. He also said that with the sleeve you can realistically expect to lose 40-60% of your excess weight with bypass 60-80%.

Yayyy!
