Quest Bars are good but not all flavors. Power Crunch is also very good and most flavors are excellent.

Thanks guys!

There was a thread earlier this year about getting Vitamins via prescription.
Does anyone still have the info on the company that this was with?

I drink it in moderation due to he high carbs. Tastes great and a lot more Protein than regular milk!

I can't actually read your post on my Ipad because of the font.

The only things in the aisles I get is Protein Bars, nuts, beef Jerky and sunflower seeds.

I eat fruit, apples oranges grapes strawberries pineapple peaches. I lose on them, they are filling also. I do make sure to get in my Protein. But really if we are to lead normal lives after surgery we need to eat normally. There is nothing wrong with sugar in fruit. I stay away from bananas because I can eat a lot of them (for me anyway). And they have always made me hungry.

well fellas it looks like everything went the way it should. My liver was beautiful to quote Dr. Trotter and the surgery went great. The only issue I have is having to drink so much powdered mix everyday. It seems like I have to drink 1 oz an hour and it gets old quick... Anyway thx for all the well wishes and I'm glad I made this choice.

If I hear him say one more time how the wls is going to be so difficult that I won't be able to handle it..
And why can't I just make good choices & eat less to lose weight?
He is a very sweet, compassionate man and I adore him but his lack of understanding of why I need and want this is frustrating! (13 years of struggling with being overweight and depressed because of it)
He is usually supportive, but in this situation on one hand he just says I am find and he loves me how I am & the other side of it is that he doesn't understand my struggle with my weight and trying to lose it.
Can anyone relate? It's annoying when anyone without a weight problem says those things :-/

I just realized this morning that i have dropped under the "obese" range on the height and weight charts and am now only "overweight"! I never thought I'd be so happy to be considered overweight. ????
What an amazing thing a sleeve and 4 months can do!

Me too. It's a happy day today. Obese is such an ugly word. Cheers to us!

Sorry my post above didn't come out right.
I meant to mention "ilikecake2much" as winning the unofficial best name on the forum contest!

Thanks! Hang in there, it's normal to have nerves before surgery. Try to remember that you made the decision when you were thinking straight and for the right reasons. In a few short months you will have a new life and you will have forgotten about all the nears, fear, and second guessing.
The physical part is easy, the head part a little harder, but if you are prepared, it's not that tough either.
I highly recommend this book which you can download. It really helped me be prepared mentally for the feelings and emotions that come about after surgery. When it's not a surprise, I've found that it's MUCH easier to cope.
TheEmotional First Aid Kit: A Practical Guide To Life After Bariatric Surgery.
Best of luck on your surgery! Let us know how you are doing.
