  1. Have to go to Walgreens tomorrow anyway, OK, will add biotin tomorrow
  2. Ugh. Six months. I'm afraid to ask him questions. He jumped at me because He thought I was drinking soda at my last pre-op appointment. I actually had a large bottle of water with me. He was nice at the first 2 appointments and at my EGD but not as nice at the last appointment. hopefully it was just a bad day. Or He was mad I only lost 9 of the required 12lbs. Appointment was 3 weeks prior to surgery so I don't know what the big deal.

  4. Ah. Actually heading to Target so I will look into the liquid tylenol. Where are you guys from? I'm in Eastern Pennsylvania. Getting sleeved at St Luke's Allentown.
  5. Hello iPrincess. I feel like we are the only two going in on the 25th. This is a great question and I would also like to know. So far I have a bunch of different protein shakes/drinks, sugar fee jello ready to go, I guess that's it really. I'm going to the store tomorrow to get gas-ex strips which I hear are a life saver. Hopefully we will get some good advice on here!
  6. I finally told my mother today and my surgery is Tuesday! She took it a lot better than I expected. She tried to talk me into he band instead (like I could show up at he hospital and say, by the way, I want to be banded instead!) long start short, she doesn't want me to get it done but she understands why I want to do it. So relieved!
  7. Gosh, you all are making me more nervous. I go in Tuesday surgery. I will so hate myself if I have serious complications as this really is elective for me. I so hope I am making the right decision.
  8. That's what I was told too. Poor form on Disney's part. Really surprises me too with how guest friendly they try to be. Guess only to guests who can eat their expensive food. Malready have a grocery order list going. Please let me know if anyone can think of anything else I should get. Remember, only have a small fridge. -whole milk for kiddies - skim fr me for Protein shakes - string cheese - case of h2o so we don't have to buy in parks - sugar free Popsicles for midnight snacks! Hope they fit in freezer! I will be 39 days out at time of trip. Thanks all.
  9. Let me know how you make out, please! Have fun!
  10. Mine is the 25th. Second week Into my pre op liquid hell. Look all around this forum lots of great info and people on here.
  11. I tried the bariatric advantage meal replacement and it was NASTY!!! Gagged most of my way through it. Thank goodness I only had one pup ouch. It was chocolate.
  12. Mine also said to stop immediately at my last appt. didn't ask when I could resume. I just assumed after my first period post-op. I sure hope so. It so helps with regulation and shortens the "flow". I know you have to use a second method for a while too. So wish hubby wasnt such a baby and just go get snipped. I had two c-sections, is a minor out patient procedure too much to ask for?
