Yes, it's fine. I drink it too. It's very tasty.

@@deedadumble, you look smokin'!

My favorite is

I suggest you call your surgeon.

I suggest trying

@@catfish87, Wow! you look great!

Welcome!

What?! I imagine your surgeon would have known(?)

I suggest telling him that you go to nutritional meetings and have the training. You'll get everything you need. He isn't responsible for this.

You're NOT going to be remembered for THAT!!! I'd guess one week, or the length of time your surgeon says to wait until you can drive.

I can't address this from a personal standpoint. However, my friend had a pacemaker (St. Jude's?) put in around 2 months before her sleeve surgery that keeps her heart in rhythm. If her heart stops, it automatically jolts it to start.

If you are trying out samples, be sure to try those that are 100% Protein isolate, which is the most absorbable protein. Examples that I can think of right now are unjury (available online), Syntrax nectar, and GENEPRO.

@@lynziv, I mix my Protein powder with Silk Unsweetend Soymilk. That adds 7 grams of protein to each shake.

My NUT said 60 - 80 grams of Protein per day also: generally 60 for women, 80 for men. Just do your best. You'll get there.

Congratulations!

Yeah, and seeing all the ads for weight loss solutions!.. NOPE, been there done that! Don't need to do any more than I already am doing! I feel very happy that my weight is heading downwards slowly but surely, and I'm feeling better all the time.

Congratulations on your successful surgery and weight loss! Sounds like you've been through it. I hope you can find a way to have peace of mind. You deserve it!

Your profile didn't provide any info, so I don't know. Is there a medical justification for it?

7lbs. in one week? That sounds great to me! Surgery will make this much easier.

Yes, that's what I do.

Under the circumstances, would your doctor's office advocate on your behalf for a much earlier surgery? I would think it would also be in their best interest to get both surgeries done at the same time.

I'm 3 months out and don't think this would be a good look for me.

This reminds me of hearing Maya Angelou say that her sisters are having a race for her belt.

I'm losing one pound every other week. I go to the gym and do aerobics and weights. Seems pretty slow to me, but glad I'm still losing!

@@TiaMarie, How are you doing? I imagine you're on the pre-op diet... your surgery is pretty soon!
