  2. Whataburger has grilled chicken. Otherwise keep a protein bar in your purse and avoid fast food entirely (a huge adjustment I've had to make for myself). Good luck, I know it's not easy.
  3. Haha. I agree. Not a fan of all if the commercials and stuff. But his skill and staff more than make up for all of that. His practice and people are amazing.
  4. You'll be so glad you made the change. And I hope you'll be as happy with Dr Kim and his staff as I have been. Good luck!!
  5. I cried the week before. The day before. And the day of my surgery. The jitters are completely normal! I was sleeved on 10/23 and haven't looked back since. Good luck to you! You'll be fine!
  6. Sleeved 10/23. Feeling pretty good! Down 18 lbs since pre-op Full liquids for another 2 weeks. Not even close to getting in my protein and water. There's not enough room in my sleeve and not enough hours in the day, but I'm sure Ill get there. So far I'm so glad I've chosen this journey.
  7. Sounds like sleeve suicide! (But I'm only a week post op and still on full liquids).

  9. I'm not sure if its the same...but I use Jay Robb whey protein. I enjoy all of the flavors. I add a tbsp of sf white chocolate pudding mix to the strawberry and its delicious.
  10. I was sleeved yesterday, too. The breathing meter is definitely not my favorite. I'm being kept another night, as I'm not able to get my liquids in I'm grateful that I don't have awful gas pains or pestering nausea. Hope everyone is resting and healing well! Back to sip sip sip, walk walk walk!

  13. I'm 5.0. Highest weight 196. Im 4 days into my protein shake only pre op diet. Surgery scheduled for 10/23. I'm down 10lbs which is great, but I put myself on a pre-pre-op diet so that my body wouldn't go into shock when I quit eating "the good stuff" I was reckless with my eating habits right after I found out Aetna approved my surgery and I'm really paying for it now. Best wishes to my petite (love to start using that word) sleevers!

  16. I don't see anyone bent outta shape. Your opinion just appears to be in the minority. I only see people expressing their opinion. I'm using Dr Kim. I'm NOT being "forced" to buy his shakes. I know others that weren't forced either. Best wishes and continued success to you and EVERYONE regardless of the surgeon and Protein shake of choice!

  21. Good for you! I was a nervous wreck while waiting on insurance approval. I often emailed Summar several times a week (bless her heart) and she was always so patient, encouraging and thorough with me. I hope you will be as confident in your decision as I am. Good luck!
