I believe you should be okay. My approval was done in less than 2 weeks.

Prepping to go home. Worst part was pain from drain.

Good morning surgery buddies. Let's get up and claim this victory. I have to be at the hospital at 0530. See you on the loser's bench. Let's live our best life!

Congratulations, that is magnificent!

Surgery tomorrow, 1/21, so I booked a hotel, here in Annapolis, so I don't have to travel tomorrow. Hospital says to be there at 0530. Best of luck to us all.

I am trying patch md. However, last night I noticed the zinc and selenium were low. One of my doctor suggestions is NutraMetrix. It is a liquid you take one a day and I add an iron and biotin patch.

I don't have to do liquids, but I do have to do high protein. See below.

I am someone who has come back, as I need a revision.

My doctor only requires low carb

I had my pre-op yesterday (1/8/19). I actually had 5 appointments. 1) pre-op (surgery is 1/21/19), 2) heart sonogram with cardiologist, 3) blood work, 4) dietitian, and 5) stress test wit the cardiologist. I was surprised to learn I do not have to do clears for 2 week pre-op. My sheet says either 4 protein shakes a day or low calorie, low carbohydrate dies of no more than 50-60 carbs per day. No snack type foods, sweets, or starches (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, corn, peas, cereal, crackers, etc.) I am having a revision from sleeve to bypass.

Id like to try Devotion Nutrition's angel food cake and their flex flavors. But, I've been using GenePro. 30 grams protein in 1 tablespoon.
