Hi ladies! I went to the nut today. She gave me a stack of papers (more like a book) of stuff for pre op and post op diets. She gave me a list of protien shakes to try. Which ones do you guys find taste the best? That's the handout she gave me. Any of you tried any of these before?

Thank you for the info. I was confused about it. What sugars are best for post op? Is stevia or maybe agave ok to use?

I would love to have a pen pal! I am a disabled woman w a 6 year old ready to have my surgery oct 21st. Ok maybe not totally ready.. I'm still nervous lol. I have already met some wonderful people here already and would love to meet more. My address is sdunlap@rgv.rr.com. Thank you!

For the pre and post diet is it real sugar or sugar substitutes that we have to stay away from? I'm going to start my 2week liquid diet I think oct 7th and wanting to start preparing myself. Can we even have stuff that has any type of sugar in it like fruit?

Thanks. Just told my darling boyfriend he has to drive me around:).

Thank you so much soccer mom for your last post. I so needed to read that today. I'm a ball of nerves!

Would I need someone to come w me so they can take me home after the test?

Thank you so much. I am scheduled to get a chest x ray and an upper gi test. Kinda nervous about that gi test. Does it hurt? Do they put you to sleep?

Hi quick question here. I'm a 42i right now and im wondering about my boobs deflating and being wrinkled and saggy. Is there anything we can do to prevent that? So nervous about it all

Thanks for the info. My mom is going to come up and help me w my son. I hope I'm not out too long. I would like to be able to walk around, drive etc.

Hi magic and zero. Thanks for the reply and info! Do you know if swimming is off limits or will help as well w the skin? Also anyone know when it would be safe to get pregnant?

Thank you. And don't worry you will get a date soon. Let us know when you do:)

Hi dee!! Nope no problem if you are in a different state. Glad to know there are people all over that are getting this surgery done. I think my biggest fear is the excess skin. I would love to figure out a way to minimize it. I know my stomach will never be flat and toned unless I have a tuck;) but I don't want bat wings lol
