Anyone else a May surgery??? I seen my surgeon today & my big day is May 8th 2013! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Thanks! I've been doing a lot of walking on the treadmill when Im not @ school and you will hit lots of stalls. I was the same weight for like 2 weeks just FINALLY lost another 3lbs. You'll get the hang of it, Im almost 6 weeks out and still learning. I forget lots of things sometimes and get all frustrated and ma but I remember... baby steps. You lose it!

Hello everyone! I was wondering how everyone has been since their May surgery!? I remember in my "May surgeries!" thread there were a lot of people going under for the month! Hope everyone is well!!

Glad everyone is doing well & how exciting it is that we're finally on the losers bench!!! Today I am officially 1 month post op. I went from 328lbs to 286lbs and for the last week have hit a stall & it's frustrating but some loss is better than nothing!

And oh my has the loser bench grown!!!! May has been a fantastic month!!!

Congrats to everyone who's had their surgeries so far!!!! You're all in my prayers and I'm glad we've all have decided to make such a great change in our lives and kick obesity in the butt!!!

Just an update. Surgery went great! No complications! I slept most of the day yesterday except when I had to get up and walk. The gas I think is what bothers me most, unfomrtable... Just started drinking an oz of water every 3 hours for 3 hours and it'll go up more within a couple of hours. Thanks everyone who had me in prayers, means a lot!!!

Well, in a few hours I officially join the losers bench!!! Good luck to anyone else having surgery today!

Congratulations to everyone and their May surgeries!!!!

Am I the only one experiencing mood swings? I started my 30 day diet today and my husband says I been crabby all day... I know I have been but it's not intentional. Does this get better?

Thanks! And good luck everyone!

Tomorrow is the first day of my 30 day pre-op diet and I decided to make a Protein shake that was given to me as a sample before I go buy in bulk... I did NOT like it... in fact, COULDN'T finish it! I would LOVE if anyone could give me some GOOD Protein Shake ideas that I will be able to enjoy or these 30 days are going to be MISERABLE for me! I was thinking about buying something that's tasteless but what would I blend it with to make it tasteful??? Ideas??? Anything would be a big help! Please and thank you!

I start my 30 day pre-op diet tomorrow!!! Hoping this month FLIES by!!!

And thanks everyone for your help!!

What do you mix them with? I tried Bariatric Advantage where you only add Water -- the chocolate -- it was nasty. :/

Does it keep you full though for a few hours?

Yay! Hoping this month goes by quickly!

Hello! I'm currently having to do a 4 week liver shrink diet. Surgeon wants me down between 10-20lbs for surgery on May 8th. My nutritionist gave me a list saying I should drink 5 Protein Shakes a day with a Protein Bar plus a calorie counted meal for dinner... My question is, if anyone has done the same thing (rather only 2 weeks or 4 like me) HOW did you get into the rhythm of it? When did you drink the Protein shakes and how much time apart each? Any feedback will be VERY helpful! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
