im in cw 283 gw 270

i like the budget idea might have to implement that one

wow your right busy day

Hopefully the worst is over and your recovery is going good

@funnyguyvic I'm sorry you got denied

Yay

I have to ask my nut if the liquid diet the Surgeon requires includes real food I'm 5 months away but I want to be prepared

My 6 month is like middle of Feb I should have all the tests done in December except the ekg so I'm looking March for mine

Yay congratulations

Wow only 3 months mine required 6 but the time is started and I know it will just fly by

i found out yesterday my doc requires a two week liquid diet of protein shakes so i am looking into powders now im stuck between choosing atkins and cytomax does anyone have any recomendations with either of those im 5 months away i suoppose i could buy a tub of each and see how i like them

i looked at the price on amazon maybe you guys could try cytomax it has fruit flavors for about a third the price my nut recomended them

you could try drinking 3 cups a day of unsweated cranberry juice and see if that helps anytime i have burning urination even if they dont identify it as a uti i just drink pure cranberry juice for a week and it goes away

to the op here is the full list of all the approved protein shakes by my nutrionist bariatric advatage celebrate atkins shake cytomax any 100% whey protein gensoy glucerna body fortress premier protein jay robb unjury and optisource

thats interesting

at my first nut meating i was told for the first 7 weeks after surgery i would be on 3 protein shakes a day on top of my regular meals to meet my 60-80 grams of protein requirements i had a list of like 10 protein supplements i can choose from all of which i can get on amazon so yay me but yeah its not uncommon at 3 months out to still be on shakes. i was told for the rest of eternity that my goal for protein after surgery would be 60-80 grams a day

my nut allowed us like 9 diffrent versions one was cyntrax its supposed to have the consitancy of gatorade and comes in lots of fruity flavors so you might want to ask your nut if you can have that if your over the vanilla chocolate strawberry gimmic i plan to get the fruit punch flavor after surgery because well who can say no to fruit punch

how'd it go do you like your surgeon do you like your nut did you ask alot of quetions do you know what surgery your going with hope it went well keep us posted

i have a 6 month wait before i even get a date per my insurance ive already cut out soda and juice i am starting to cut out bread. i dont eat pasta much any more. i still enjoy the occasional chocolate treat and a sip of the hubbys slushee from 7-11. but my surgeon requires a 2 week liquid diet to shrink the liver ill be doing the atkins shakes for that and probable premier protein after surgery or cyntrax because of the fruty flavors they have

if you like fruity ones my nut recomended cytomax you can get it on amazon for like 40 bucks for 80 servings

hpefully you will feel inspired by your nut and not discouraged she did and exercise were she had us go around the room and say the surgery were having and our biggest struggle of the month no judgment just understanding and compassion i really love my nutritionist. she rocks and she explains stuff in a non threating way like the amount of weight to lose how to stay away from bad carbs and how to make better trade offs shes just really down to earth

My only trigger food is french fries. I'm hoping my husband doesn't bring it around me after surgery that'd be great

I think reading all this makes me glad I have the hubby that I do because he's super supportive of this whole journey. He celebrates every scale victory and feel crushed with me when I gain weight

There is a reason I'm not telling my older brother because he rags on every diet attempt I have ever tried

Well my class went well and I lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks I'm so happy. Also learned a bunch about protein today can't wait til my next class
