Try starting liquid diet while on your period!!!!!!!! I think I'm being TESTED!!!!

I feel like I am FLOATING AWAY!!! I'm on day 2 and I even got up twice last night to go and I NEVER get up anymore!!!

It doesn't really matter what brand you get. It will probably be a matter of what you can tolerate tastewise.

I have found I can drink the Syntrax Nextar Roadside Lemonade with a lemonade Crystal Light packet in it. It just has to be really cold!

I also have a specific list of brands of protein and vitamins I will need to take. Ask if you are not sure!!!

I haven't had my RNY yet, but had my gallbladder removed in 2002. My Dr. recommended taking a fiber pill every day. I've also heard that probiotics will also help.

If all goes well, I will have my surgery in June!!!

Just mixed one up with water and can't drink it. I don't know if it would be any better mixed with milk or not.

Yeah, I have to do 3 months diet under a Dr's supervision. Luckily it's not all liquid diet!! HAHA!!

I start 2 weeks tomorrow, and will have to do another 2 weeks before surgery. I'm sure he will have you do some type of liquid diet before hand.

Dr. wants me to start out with a 2 week liquid diet, then strict calorie diet. BLECH! I have to do 3 months for my insurance to approve me. Gonna spend tonight making my jello!!

My insurance requires me to do 3 month Dr. supervised diet. Check with your insurance to see if they require anything like that.

Well I bought a Muscle Milk after I left my appt. I got Cookies and Cream and it's VERY good!

Tomorrow will be my first of 3 appts with the dietician. The Dr. said he wanted me to start with 2 week liquid diet. I've been sooo bad since I saw the surgeon! I guess I've been having my food funeral!! Although it has been since March 15 since I've had any type of soda or caffine. I've ordered some Syntrax Nectar samples, I have already apologized to my husband in advance for biting his head off in the next week weeks, and stocked up on SF jello. I guess I just need some reassurance that I can do this!!! I'm doing this for my health and to be able to actually enjoy life instead of just living!

I've got a Black and Decker from Wal-Mart and love it! I'm still pre op but I use mine alot for different things!!

I think they usually want you to keep at goal. for a year before they will consider surgery. I could be wrong though!

I' pre op but I'm on a multi vitamin, vitamin B complex, iron and vitamin D. Only the vitamin D is prescription. But right now, CVS has their brand of vitamins buy one get one free!

I bought a sample vanilla protein powder from CVS and tried it this morning. I now know what everybody was talking about the smell!! It was horrible!! I took one drink and dumped it down the drain!! I go to the NUT Tuesday and I will probably be put on 2 week liquid diet then, so I was trying out. Now, I'm scared I won't be able to tolorate them!! I have some Sentrax Nectar samples coming in the mail. Please tell me not all of them are this awful!!!!

No, my family is also going to make the change with me!!

It's like it's all I ever think about!!! With keeping track of all the Dr's appts and supplements to take and all this is even before surgery!!! I wake up thinking about it, I go to sleep thinking about it. I dream about it. I sit here at work and think about it. I google and youtube everything gastric bypass! Please someone tell me I'm not alone?!?!?!?

I've already done all my pre op testing, and my surgery isn't even scheduled yet! I'm looking probably June for surgery date. I'll have to have blood work done again, but all the tests they wanted done, I've already went through. Another lady I know that's having the sleeve with another Dr, she has surgery in 2 weeks and is just now doing all her pre op testing. It really depends on the Dr. I was really upset at first about all the testing my Dr. required that my insurance didn't. But I'm glad we did it! They have found I am low on several vitamins and am on lots of supplements now.

Woohoo!!! congrats!!!!

Those are addorable!!!!!

My Dr. is suggesting the dietician do 2 week liquid diet first, then again 2 weeks before surgery. I'm not sure if it's because I have so much to loose, or just what.

I had the nasal canula, the pulse ox for my finger and a little machine that strapped around my chest. I slept in the spare bedroom so I could move around. I didn't sleep well that night, but then I wasn't sleep good anyway! I broke the record for the worst sleep study in the practice! they ordered my cpap machine the next day!!!
