Quest bars are the best I've tried. Very high Protein and Fiber and only 1 gram of sugar. The cookie dough and Cookies and cream are the best!!

I'm 45 and ready to start this journey in May. I've lost 15 pounds since January 31 with my nutritional visits.

littlelaura Best of luck to you! Sending a little prayer for your peace of mind and successful surgery. Bless you!

Tomorrow is the day!! First surgery at 7:30am!! Scared out of my mind. Not for the pain, nausea or journey. Just for the surgery itself and any complications. I have had a hysterectomy and that was fine. Never worried. Not sure why I'm worried so much. I just wish it was over, I'm awake and I start this journey. No Preop diet was needed for me from my doc but decided to start one on Saturday anyways. Lost 5 pounds already!! I know this is the best thing for me but give me a Xanax when I walk through those hospital doors! Wish me luck!!

I am June 17th also. No Preop diet for me.

Got my approval from BCBS today and then got the call to schedule surgery. June 17th also. Getting nervous and always worrying about complications.

June 17th also!!

Just got the final confirmation June 17th. 5:30am I have to be at hospital. I'm the first appointment at 7:30am. No Preop for me either. Just said a low fat diet the day before. This is becoming real!!!!

I'm tentative June 9th. Waiting on insurance approval. Completed all my nutrition and psych classes. Have been drinking Protein Shakes and taking Vitamins since February. Doc said I didn't have to do a Preop diet!

I'm hoping to be sleeved in may also. I finished my nutritional visits and my psych visits and now they have to just send all the paperwork to my surgeon who then has to get the insurance approval. In the three months that I had my nutritional visits I lost 20 pounds which was great. But now I have the mentality that I'm done seeing the nutritionist so at times I do go off and eat whatever I want. I've been feeling guilty and I go back to drinking my Protein Shakes and watching what I'm eating but I can see that I do need the surgery because I do gorge sometimes on food. If you have your one bad day just remember to get back on track the next day as long as you get back on track. Good luck to everyone I'm sure you all do great.

Today I weighed myself and I was 180 on the dot. That means as of today 200 unwanted lbs, have left the building. I never ever thought I could get this far....
Thanks to most of you who have inspired me and encouraged me and helped me with all my problems thus far!!!!!

I'm 3 months out today and I'm down 55.3lbs!! I feel amazing!! I wish I would have started this journey a long time ago!!! Here's a before and after pic. Sorry they're not the best pics

Let me know if you go early. You can tell me all about it and what to expect. I started drinking Protein Drinks already to see if I like them. I bought premium premier and they are very good. I'm not even hungry with them. Today I made a chocolate one With frozen strawberries and 1/2 banana. Delicious!!! Next up. Gym time.

I actually had the mind set to get the sleeve. I am on two meds for reflux. When I talked to my surgeon he said the sleeve was the worst option for anyone that has reflux. Said it won't resolve reflux as well as GB or the band would. Since the bypass was much more extensive, I choose the band. I probably have as much as you have to lose, but I'm committed to watch the food intake choices and exercise to get to my goal. When u read the success and failure stories, all the success is doing what the doctors tell them along with food intake and exercise. So I am hoping I have a successful outcome. Let's stay in touch and good luck.

I just got my Protein Drinks along with the scar cream and the Vitamins today on my doorstep. My husband and I are going through this together so we each got four cases of Premier Protein drinks so we have eight cases altogether. That's a great savings with insurance paying for that.
