I am 68 and will be sleeved oct 22. Are you taking additional. Vitamins? If so, what and how much.

I am looking for protein bars that do not have chocolate but have a good protein number. I am not a big fan of chocolate, although I can drink the protein drink. I don't enjoy the bars with chocolate.

That sounds tough. It is at least a pound a day.

Have you been told about your pre-op diet yet?

Incision or the stomach sleeve?

Best of luck to you. Prayers.

I am 68 and will be sleeved on Oct. 22. I have been reading a lot of the forums here and there is a lot of discussion re: loose skin, bat wings, etc. How has this age group done with the skin issue? I definitely know my skin doesn't have as much elasticity.

Has anyone had WLS with Dr. Phillip Price? I am being sleeved Oct. 22 by him

October 22 inColumbus OH.

I am 4 weeks out from surgery (Oct.22) and I have an appt. on the 10th to get all the pre-op tests and instructions. However this weekend I said goodbye to foods I liked. Hamburger with cheese and bacon and apple pie. Saturday I had steak, baked potato w/sour cream & Brussels sprouts. Sunday I had lobster bisque, fish, red-skinned mashed potatoes. chocolate cake & Hagen Das dulce de leche ice cream. Now I am trying to follow the soft food portion of the post surgery diet. I want to practice getting 50 grams of Protein and 64 ounces of liquid in a day. This is my training for the actual new way of eating and drinking.

With the pizza, can't you just eat the topping and not the crust? I haven't been sleeved yet, (Oct.) but friends that have had WLS do this.

I looked at this site also and copied it. Loved the way it laid out the sample guidelines.

Thanks for the list. I'm in Columbus Oh. Any Ohioans on the list with me?

My date is oct. 22. Don't know when to start pre-op diet. Trying to practice starting Monday with more protein meals and protein drinks.
