    I really like the Quest products. They sell packets so you can just try it out before buying a huge container.

    I much prefer Premier. The only flavor I don't like is strawberry.

    Norma Galitzen got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Worst things people have said to you or behind your back regarding surgery   
    Hi Nickkibear, the surgery is for you! Many of us got to out of control weights because we were not putting ourselves first. By the way, it looks like we have the same surgeon!! Dr. Mun rocked it out for me.

    He gave me the pre op diet 3 weeks before surgery. I lost 12 pounds total and I cheated a few times. I did get weighed in right before surgery and he was happy that I had lost. I don't know if he would have stopped the surgery if I did not lose any weight. Just don't gain!!! Get on track and stick with it from now until surgery.

    Norma Galitzen got a reaction from ambwolfe in 5 days out and all I want is a bm   
    I used the gentle Dulcolax for sensitive tummies (the pink one). I took 2. Be prepared to stay home for about 6 hours at least. I only had to take it once, that got everything moving.

    Norma Galitzen got a reaction from VSGAnn2014 in I don't know what to do.   
    Something is stopping you but something is also keeping you going back. it is a scary decision but everyone who I know, including myself, who is newly sleeved, is glad they did it. I still have not (personally) met someone who said they wish they would have passed. Maybe see a therapist to help you sort out some thoughts and feelings? I did.

    Norma Galitzen got a reaction from snapdragon05 in Telling your employer about surgery   
    My sister had the sleeve about 3 years ago and she chose not to disclose a single thing to her employer. She has been very successful and lost about 150 pounds but still, she will neither confirm nor deny. She thinks it is that personal.
    Me on the other hand, I am choosing to handle my surgery differently. I decided to be forthcoming about my surgery and have told my employer and my co workers about it. Everyone has been EXTREMELY supportive and I am glad that I have been so honest. Besides, with 3 weeks of the pre op diet my co workers would have known something was up- Jello all day, every day!

    I am also doing my pre op diet. I also DO NOT want to go anywhere. I really just want to stay home. Not necessarily to sulk (okay maybe a little) but I just am not sure how to have fun without being part of the food fun. I have to take my own dinner because I don't trust myself to eat a lean cuisine portion size of my in laws barbecue. And yay, jell o again. I know it is so worth it its just kind of a bummer. You are not alone!!!!

    I would say so. Especially if you are used to drinking sodas and coffee. It took me a very long time to rid myself of my diet soda habit. I am relieved I did not wait until my pre op diet started!
