Surgery scheduled for July 17 and........ Just got diagnosed with shingles!!!

Oh no - diagnosed with shingles today and I'm suppose to have WLS in Thursday!

I've been using Premier protein drinks from Costco- they taste good- Not sure how I'll feel after a week or two but they are ok for now- on day 5 of 2 week liquids- and it has helped with weight loss to date

You look great! Thanks for the update- going to get sleeved July 17 and love hearing people say they are happy with their decision after surgery- I hope to feel that way someday!

I too am having WLS after my 23 yr old daughter did it last October. She has lost over 100lbs and had a quick recovery. I wish your mom well and positive thoughts for her tomorrow!

Congratulations! Thanks For sharing!!!!

Debra Debra thanks for the Update! Glad you are doing Ok-!

Which protein drink are you using for preop and how's the taste?

Going to do the sleeve-

Jay sweet- welcome I'm in california too- going north to Bay Area for my surgery July 17 th if all goes well- good luck and hope all goes well!

Thanks he said to get multivit w/iron. Calcium 1500 and b12 -liquid or chew- I want to take as few tabs as possible but want quality vitamins for optimal energy and labs -

Looking for good quality chewable vitamin with iron and good taste? Any suggestions -

Us nurses are quite a breed right? I think we have seen so much it's just crazy to not consider all the complications- I keep going back to the surgical consultation and I asked if this was his daughter or wife would he recommend and he said absolutely! My primary care md was so excited for me when we discussed and recommended it for me and my situation wholeheartedly and said she hasn't always felt that way about WLS. Can't wait to be on the losers bench and move forward

Do any of you have name Of multivit with iron that's Chewable ,reasonably priced and taste good??

Nice work! You look beautiful!

Time1989-tell us how you have done. How long were you off? Do you work 12 hr shifts? Energy level? Nausea? Back to normal? Thanks for sharing

Debradebra - my feelings exactly! It's kind of like worried about complications if I do it and if I don't- but want a new life like so many in this site- good luck Thursday and keep us posted.

Yes! Thank you so must for your update!

Nice I'm a california girl too! Glad to hear how well you've done! I'll be going north to the Bay Area for my sleeve in July! Thanks for the updates helps to calm my worries!

That's me healthy and fat! Oh can't forget "such a pretty face and great smile" they tell me. I know your story so well .... Except WLS surgery still to come 7/2014- thanks for sharing and love your pics!!!

Amyjo Good to hear! My legs just kill me after 12 hour shifts- I wanna run circles around my coworkers and I wanna stop bumping the overbed table with my hips!

Ha love your excitement! I get excited then worry and go back and forth

Best to you tomorrow! Go get your new life!!!

Vanessak8 Haha I thought the same thing about WLS earlier in life. I'm 51 yr with no medical issues. It sounds like following directions to the T is important- but I'm sure you know sometimes stuff just happens. But on the weight track I'm on now without WLS stuff will happen it's just a matter of time.

Vanesak8 I thought the same thing about the consent! I wonder if we are using the same dr or that is standard industry practice? I'm in California.. And I had to rewrite the statements in my own words to show I understood the procedure and total 9 pages!. I've had patients sign consent for surgery but nothing like this!
