MissRobin

GOOD for you!!! I find that when I go back to Protein Drinks I can stick to eat better. I think it takes the pressure off of me. I don't have to make choices, only the flavor I want. Good for you getting back on track!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

I have had a dreadful headache for the majority of the day. Even after 2 shakes, 1 decaf coffee and a mug of broth I am still hungry and headache has not subsided even after 2 Tylenol.

Fingers crossed I can last the night. I am really really looking forward to a scrambled egg for breakfast.

I am finding it very difficult because I have kept my surgery journey to myself. I have a great issues with appearing weak, thus struggling silently and not express my difficulties to others.

Today is the new chapter in my Book of Life.

Thank you for your kind words.

Keep digging deep for your inner strength. You can do this!! Prayers to you.

Saying prayers. You got this. Wake up today and just make 1 change. Eat protein first. Go back to basics!!! ((hugs)) It's got to be terrifying.

These shoes have heels ? Oh Lawd.....now I'm dreaming, too. Spring is here !!!!

AWESOME!!!

yaaeeeee

Congratulations!

Congratulations and all good wished. The wait is almost over and soon your will be on the other side and working on your new life. Hope the surgery is smooth as silk and you are up and about as soon as can be.

@MissRobin - let us know how you are doing TODAY as soon as possible! (((HUGS)))

you are on the way to a healthier, happier, longer life- what more could you ask for?? good luck - tomorrow - kathy

are you excited????

I cried at the store today when I was picking up the last of my supplies. I am overwhelmed with excitement but also saddened that my son started grade 2 today and tomorrow I am leaving him

Glad to hear you are so excited. Good luck.

Congrats ! I am from Edmonton too, and scheduled for my sleeve September 24th! Please keep us posted, wishing you best of luck and success!

It's going to be awesome, you just wait and see. It won't be that first week but 6 months down the road you will be a new person.

Come on over to the dark side...we have protein shakes! lol

BUT SHAKES ARENT GOOD i BOUGHT A PROTEIN POW(D)ER COOK BOOK. CANT WAIT UNTIL I AM ON SOLID FOODS AGAIN. http://www.amazon.com/The-Ultimate-Protein-Powder-Cookbook/dp/1581572530

WONDER IF THERE IS A SUGAR FREE- PROTEIN WINE OUT THERE?

I don't mind the protein shakes but I dress them up so they are not so plain.

we moved out of our mobil home into an RV while our house was being built. I lost keys and have never found them and they couldn't have left the yard...

glad they are definitely in the house - they WILL show up when you are not looking!! but your immediate problem about drivers license, credit cards missing et al!!! what a bummer - good luck

Me too! I'm going to Tijuana on August 12th. I also want to know where to get what I need in Canada. I was told by someone (friend of a friend) that Costco carries Premier Protein Shakes and Quest Protein Bars that are high in protein and (relatively) low in carbs. I haven't checked it out yet, but will soon. I'm in Regina. Where are you?

I am from Edmonton.

I am having a dificult time finding a vitamin to take because there are SOOOO many out there.

And at the end of the day, how different are they.

They must be due to the price differences.

I look at any thing Kirkland as being pass produced and sold in bulk.

I look at Jamison vitamins as bottom of the barrell cheap cheap. At Rexall Pharmacy they are buy one get one free right now.

I look at the online, super-weight lifting-junkie vitamins as over priced repackaged Jamison vitamins.

They do have a bariatric online vitamin store that I have been looking at.

But again I go back to the cycle of "are they the same vitamin just in a different package"?

I would like to go as natural as possible when it comes to vitamins, whether it be through herbal or not.

I do also want to support Canadian products and buy as local as possible.

North Americian for sure. NO out of country products for this girl unless absolutely necessary. I always check the labels of everything I purchase.

As for natural, I don't know...... But wanted to mention that my material says to get a liquid vitamin for the first month after surgery.

keep researching and write down any questions. keep us posted.

You'll be amazed how fast that time will fly by. Are you following any kind of pre-op diet at this point? My surgeon had me follow the Atkins induction diet followed by a two week liquid diet. Gook luck!

Gosh so sorry to hear that! I hope the sleeve will fix it!

It will get easier. You will learn to manage your new tummy.

I have had IBS for several years now, and that is one of the things my stomach does too, especially right after I have eaten a really fatty meal. Pizza anyone?
