    Today was big day!

    I have another week before surgery. I am also worry about looking older. 52 and have always received complement about not looking my age. I am looking into Roden and fields products. Congratulations Justin!
  2. Most Pre-mix Protein drink have about 6 gram of sugar so how bad can this be and it has protein. Look some people need their coffee. My Nut drinks this herself, and she's like a size 6, had the surgery about 6 years ago. Your stomach will let you know if it does not like it. Don't worry, you should be ok.

    Scared because I cheated

    The Protein is what's going to help you with the "Head Hunger". Find something you do like, or make your own with powder Protein drinks. There's so many different kind. Have you tired. CHIKE! They have coffee, and the vanilla is so great, just add Water. I tried with almond milk but to be honest it taste great with Water. It's only for a couple of weeks, soon you'll be able to eat some solids. Keep busy, find some fun things to do and don't think about what you can't eat. Make Protein Drink your routine. You don't want to loss a lot of hair and your skin will do so much better with the protein. Next Summer you'll be so happy you did! Take care, you can do this! Can't wait to see your Before and After.

    What to pack

    Gas-x, the kind you place on your tongue, for the gas from all the Air, and something to help with dry mouth heard that's an issue. Comfortable clothe, something that will support the stomach area without hurting. Like compression pants. most hospital have wifi, so you may want to listen to some music.
  5. Day two of my Protein Diet, only 7 days before my surgery. I am excited, and terrified at the same time.

  6. I wanted to say that I put cinnamon in my vanilla Protein Shakes and it’s really good. Cinnamon is good for you as well. Helps with bloating, diabetes, and gas.
  7. I am so excited for all the success everyone is having. I will be going in Jan 5th. I am excited but a little nervous as well. I will start my protein diet on the 26th. I am so looking forward to a healthy 2016. I love to sew and look forward to making some cute outfits that does not require a ton of yards of fabric LOL..

    No eating !

    why not do it the right way and learn a healthy way of living. You can't starve forever and look good.
  14. I am just starting the process, but I am sure I'll be the same way worring about everything. I don't think you have anything to worry about. It will go much smoother for you, if you try to look at the more positive things, like how much better you're going to feel in the end. I still have three months to go. Best of luck to you.

    Stall stories.

    Forget the scale, measure yourself, around the waist, thighs, you'll noitce the numbers going down, even if the scale does not. Muscle weight more than fat...

    Secret sleever

    I think you do have to be careful who you tell. I am only tell those close to me. Like my mother, and my partner, since he's taking me to the hospital. We discuss the subject and after getting his support, I am going for it. Even so, if someone does ask, I will not lie about it. That's just my two cents.
