It seems like many of the drinks are under 20 grams of Protein. Has anyone tried this one? http://www.swansonvitamins.com/about-time-whey-protein-isolate-vanilla-2-lbs-pwdr?csi=SYX002&csp=AT001
I've heard that there is less hair loss after surgery if you stay on the high side of Protein.< /p>

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'm gonna be sleeved tomorrow (April 2)!! Im excited about what my life is going to look like once I lose the weight.

Actually, this website, should be where we can ask those questions or bring up those issues. Stop bullying people for asking a simple question or are making an observation. If you want to educate them and help them better understand something, that's one thing, but to be out right mean is not okay! If you don't agree with something somebody posts, and you can't be nice, don't reply. For goodness sakes, show some decorum and grace to each other.

If your taking offence at the word fat....I can tell you it is one of the easiest terms to digest....How about obese, Moby d**k, gigantic, titanic, elephant, rhino, mountain and whale Pick anything huge and I have been called that. I have heard the medical field use some of these terms as well.
Like I said in an earlier post here. We are always looking for the aw aspect of this surgery because we all want to be there. Where ever we start it does not matter. It is knowing, KNOWING that others who took the leap before us were successful..
I know personally of a woman who had a by-pass about 15 years ago and after 60 lbs lost she stopped and started gaining weight. 2, 2 liter bottles of pop a day help her keep her from her original goal.
Now another woman who knows her is worried to death that she will only lose 60 lbs because well it happened to her....
No guys we are all looking for successes when we go anywhere or read any of these stories. That is normal!!!!!!! Maybe the title spurred some bad reactions. But I bet 10 to 1 that if you were hoping for a celebration for weight loss and it was not there to what your mind thought it would be. You too would have been disappointed...
I know I would have been thrown into some kind of fear, worrying that I might gain it back or struggle to keep it off....
Giving your mind rest by having positive feedback is a powerful motivator. For the poster..it wasn't a great experience. Can we learn from this...YES
We can look at the same potential situation and feel completely different about it....Learn that we are all different and we lose at different rates and are different makeups.....And maybe even reach out to some who you can encourage... After all that is the goal of this forum. Not to beat the tar out of someone who had a discouraging experience.......To her it was...
When we go through life and two people experience the same event. It is highly unlikely that they would have seen, thought, felt or would even write the exact same thing about it......If you would see it as wonderful, maybe another saw it as I let them cut me open and remove part of my stomach and was in so much pain and had to learn to eat again, learn to reteach my mind about healthy food...etc.
That is how I see this posters thread...Nothing more then her being worried about the possibility of her not reaching the goal she has in mind....
She is allowed that guys....I think anyway!

If you were referring to my comment, what I think it says and if not, it should say... if you CANT BE NICE don't respond. I've seen an inordinate amount of bullying and belittling in these forum and it's very disconcerting.

I think everyone jumping down the OP's throat needs to grow up. I definitely understand where he/she is coming from and I don't feel it is pure negative judgment at all. If I had gone to something like that early on in my journey, I probably would have felt the same way.

Thanks for the tips. I am not somebody who can stop at just one. Sweets are like crack to me. Looking forward to surgery the first week of April.

My surgery was just approved 2 days ago and is scheduled for April 2nd as well!! I am so excited and nervous to!
I am currently separated & my husband and I are working on possibly reconciling, however he doesn't like the idea of me having surgery to lose weight! In fact he has told me NOT to lose anymore! So I will gladly be there for you as well because I will need a buddy to!

Wonderful!
Don't mess with your own brain. Don't lie to yourself. Build a solid wall and don't make holes in it.
This is war!

My postop diet was similar to your friend's, Tanya. I was on Clear Liquids in the hospital and my first day home, I started puréed foods. I was really upset at first, thinking I had gone through all of this and was going to fail. My husband assured me that I trusted this doctor enough to operate on me and I should trust him enough to follow his postop instructions. I stayed off the boards because everyone else was still on liquids and our diets were so different and it made me depressed.
I'm now on all soft Proteins. I can eat any meat, cheese, or eggs. No carbs. I can't even have veggies or fruits yet and no cream Soups or pudding or anything like that.
I was sleeved on 2/17. I lost 18 lbs preop and have lost another 20.5 since surgery bringing my total to 38.5 in just over a month. I trusted my dr and I'm doing great! My energy level is off the charts for me and I am seeing cellulite disappear from all over my body.
I doubted my surgeon's methods and I was wrong! I hope this helps you feel a little better.

I'm April 2!!

i I'm scheduled April 2 and so excited! Where r u from?

Supposedly acid can manifest itself as hunger post operativly. I had reflux pre surgery so continued with the Prevacid after
