I'm doing 3 Protein Shakes a day Jello, Soup, sugar free popsicles and crystal light. Im on day 4 of 14 pre-op i'm doing okay except I can't stay out of the bathroom anyone else experienceing this #1 and #2.

Thanks everyone my nut also insist on citrate, it is harder to find and they are more exspensive for the ones ive seen I would have to take 3 day and they would only last about 10 days for 15 to 20 dollars

Could some one please tell me where you get your chewable calcium citrate with Vitamin D I need 1500mg of cal and 1800 ius of vit d a day after surgery. Most ive found are pretty exspensive and a bag or box only would last like 8 to 10 days any info would be appreciated. Thank you Sandra

Protein is not good for diabetics but doing high protein for a while to get the surgery and maybe get rid of your diabeties out weighs that. Im no medical professional but that what my doctor said The diabeies is also hard on the kidneys and liver.

congratulations

Bless your heart there's nothing you can do now, but maybe they will give you another chance. If they look here for support friend some of us and reach out here when you think you are gonna overeat. Sandra

Hello Everyone,

My name is Sandra. I'm 49 I have 3 grown sons and 1 that is 21 but he has cerebral palsy and is totally dependent, he does not walk or talk. That is one reason for the surgery so i can be in better shape to care for him. I'm Married both my husband and I are diabetics, another reason for the surgery. My legs and back hurt all the time I can't walk very far at all without a walker, it used to be a wheelchair. I have completed all my test and am now waiting for the insurance process. I did test positive twice for the Hyploria infection and am almost through my second round of antibiotics. I started my process in Feb of this year and have lost 30lbs since then, but the wait is getting old and so is logging my food, Ive stumbled a little but trying to get back on track. I also just had my first grandchild also a boy 8 months ago and I want to be healthier and more active for him. I was told by several drs that this surgery is now necessary for me no longer an option because I couldnt do it on my own. I have been overweight fot at least 30 yrs but never as large as i am currently until the last 5yrs or so. Sandra
