thanks good idea, writing them down.

sounds great, now I really want to start pkg, so I wont forget anything. ok going to write things down, like pre-op and post-op. keep the list coming thanks

I have no date anytime soon for surgery, but I cant wait I have 3lbs left to lose then on the 23rd I have to see my nut and psych and ill get the info for the post op, hope I get a date on that day. Im so nervous, that's why I feel I should start packing now and buy everything I need for post-op. what do you all think. im afraid ill forget something to eat or pack in my bag. im suppose to be doing two to three shake a day, 3 Snacks Protein, veggies and a small meal, I have don't two shakes and do fine in the am but later on the day, I end up eating what should not eat. I know I have to follow the pre-op just like my nut says I have my meds but my pharmacist didn't have chewable he said he hasn't heard of them being chewable. and my insurance pd for all of them but not for the B12. ima call my insurance and see if they pay for the shot. ok, now to know if I should get ready now. what you all think

I just got back from group, I was the only one there wow, so me and another nut just talked a bit. she wants me to continue writing my food down. I do start then get bored and don't finish the day, but I told her I will try for the next two wks, then I have an appt with my nut and pshch. I lost one pound, not bad I thought I had gained. I just ate, white rice and beens, corn that's all, at this time my frig is on empty so we have to eat whatever we find in the cabinets till shopping day. I been trying very hard not to eat bread that is one thing I want to stop eating period. and yes rice, iam Puerto rican so we eat a lot of rice and fried food. its going to be hard. but I need to keep trying even when I feel like crap bc I cant do the diet like its suppose to be done. I have to keep trying and its help having someone that understand where you coming from. Hugs to you all, thanks

hi all, well I started reading my guide book and had a light snack, cheese, Water and took a nap. im still feeling a little sad but now I feel that yes im going to group tomorrow. thank you for being there for me, I love this site.

I need a few pushes, I have been doing good till xmas and then the big day came, I ate and ate and ate, and its sunday and im still eating, I cant jump back up and continue with my shakes. tomorrow I have group and don't want to go bc I know I must had gained, so im not sure ill go to group. I need to just jump back on track but I don't know why I haven't been able to do it,' I am going to the gym tomorrow haven't been in a week. I have to lose only four pounds before I get a surgery date so I don't know if that is what's scarring me and and push myself forward. I started rereading my guide book and notes from here that I been writing down, I want to have a pre op food list. to have it all ready at home. I don't know what I am saying I feel like I am losing it, I just want to get back on track. why or why did it had to mess up.

Thank you

I am crying in pain, the shot was given in my left knee, it hurts so much I cant walk im on the computer chair to get around, my son 15yr old had to help me roll to the bathroom. I took 2 800 Motrin and voltaren gel and lidocaine ointment I will never tell anyone to do this. I been putting ice but the pain is real bad, I can't even move my toes. I had the cortisone shots in my 2 in my head and my 6 on my back, and right knee also. im suppose to go back in two months, I am not sure if I go I cant go through this pain, I have the fan on, window open bc im so hurt.

so do they give you anything to clean you out, I will post tomorrow

LuminousLife the last two days been real good, now Tuesday I go in to see my nut and psych. I guess i'll find out tomorrow about what I need to do to get ready for the surgery and maybe i'll be told when I will get the surgery. I'm trying to make a list of what I can eat, and what I need to take to the hosp, I just need to know now, LOL im so nervous.

I went on the sites and ordered samples. thank you

No, I just thought of getting things ready for after my surgery. like what I can eat and about adding more Protein without eating to much so I can be to on point. I meet with my nut and psych tomorrow but just want some ideas from ppl here that gone through the surgery.

thanks you all, ok so I look for whey and check the carbs/sugar and less.. will I need anything for fiber

Are the ready to drink drinks comes in flavor. I will check walgreens because the other two stores are to far. the shots sounds good, which it was very simple. ok so whey is a Protein drink right ?

oh yea now I wonder what I am going to have to go through, I guess I'll find out tomorrow but I cant wait, so what happens when you get your date

I am so nervous but I can't wait to go, tomorrow I meet with my nut and psych. and find out if I lost any weight. omg im so nervous. I had to lose ten pounds before getting a date I lost six then gained two so know lets see if I lost those two and more I hope. still writing down what I can eat and what I like.

ok so both are Protein, im trying to look for something I can buy to help get all my Protein drinks. sorry not smart about this, never had to buy any

whey Protein and protein power do the same thing like can I take it and its just Protein powder want to buy some but not sure which one to get.

I did great today, wow had more then 64 oz of liquid and writing down the food I will b able to eat I just want to be ready with the shopping. Tuesday I will find out if I get a date, but I was also told that they will call me about it so im not sure.

just sitting here and getting nervous, I can't wait but also very nervous on Tuesday I meet with the my nut and psych, every two wks I do that. I will also be weigh in and I am scare I didn't lose anything, this time I emailed them when I posted this and was having such a hard time. I will keep you all updated. thank you for being there for me.
