They also make protein pills

I had my pre op class today. It was very informative. I was told I could return to work as early as 5 days! I'm going back after 10 though. I went out today and bought the multivitamins, calcium, and b12. Also bought some powdered shakes just cause. I had to do a 6 month pre op diet and ended up gaining 6 lbs. I was told to lose some weight prior to my class, and lost 4 lbs. Apparently that wasn't good enough and was told my liver was still big so I'm restricted to shakes and liquids only until D day.

I have to have the magnesium citrate too-waa lol

I had my pre op class today. It was so informative. I was told about 2 or 3 weeks ago to lose some weight before now because I was up 6 lbs. I lost 4. I was really excited. But it was short lived when the doctor told me my liver was still big, and I needed to go on a straight liquid diet till surgery on the 16th. I kind of have a guilty conscience, because I did eat cheese and he knew it by the way my liver felt (how weird).

I was up 6 then lost 4. He said my liver was still too big. So from now till the 16th I'm on a liquid diet

I cheated and ate cheese.

I don't know. I wouldn't go to places like that because I wouldn't want my boyfriend to go to places like that. What's wrong with just going to a regular bar?

thats crazy, they didn't see any of that during the xray or endoscopy?

does he go to strip clubs or watch movies or look at magazines with nudity in them?

I can't wait to be on this side of the losers bench! September 16th!

I had a 6 month diet....I gained 6 lbs but lost most of. He wanted me to lose 10lbs but I did not.

My pre op class is tomorrow anyone have theirs yet? Wondering what they will all go over

Congrats...keep us updated

lol I would love to celebrate until my surgery. But they told me I needed to lose a few pounds before my preop class on the 4th. So I went basically on an atkins diet. Tuesday I thinking applebees and wednesday I am thinking cake before I have to go on the liquid diet

My birthday is on the 28th. I am thinking about celebrating it on wednesday so I can have cake....would that be wrong lol

Ok this is a tmi question.. is anyone shaving their lady parts before surgery? I know they will see so don't know if I should or not lol

My surgery is also the 16th and I have not prepared at all. What has everyone else done?

I know...vitamins are crazy expensive

Nah..they are against me having surgery. I told them not everything has to revolve around food.

I would say my parents are my biggest enemy when it comes to food. They know my surgery is soon and every time I go over there they shove food at me. Yesterday it was breadsticks I declined. My birthday is 12 days after surgery. They said sell you can have a cake with whipped frosting. I said no cake no sugar. They said you can have a sugar free cake...they just don't get it or care.

I was thinking today how fast it seems to be going towards the day. I have preop class on the 4th then surgery on the 16th...18 more days!! Is anyone bringing a robe to the hospital with them so their booty isn't hanging out when their up walking around?

With Gastric bypass you still have your stomach inside of you and there is blood flow to it, incase you need it later for some reason. I am taking 10 days off from work. Sugar is not recommended because it causes dumping syndrome plus will prohibit weight loss. You should give up sugar now. You are able to have Splenda type products.

I use the pre made slim fast high protein with some pb2 with ice add a spoonful of splenda...tastes like a Reese's.

You September 16th people!!! We have less than 3 weeks to go!
