All my Vitamins and Protein shakes were delivered to me today. These are the brands that I decided to use. I bought the variety pack of Premier Protein Shakes which include the flavors chocolate. Strawberries and cream, and vanilla I also ordered Premier's Mixed berries smoothies in a 4 pack. The vitamins I decided to use are Bariatric Advantage Multi Ea, and Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy bites in the caramel flavor which came highly recommended by Kaiser. Also, The Blender Bottle, and Isopure liquid Protein in the flavors Grape Frost, and Fruit Punch which is not pictured. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Protein intake does not count as water/hydration intake. You must take in atleast 60-70 grams of protein per day, and also a minimum of 64 oz of water. Broth, and sugar free Popsicles are considered hydration. Yogurt and protein shakes are absolutely not considered fluid intake. I know it's hard but you must sip both protein shake and water all day. Also FYI and fore anyone else who doesnt know the Isopure flavored liquid protein doesn't count as hydration. Isopure is liquidy but is 100% pure protein and has no water in it.

@@Deana37 the Premier Protein variety pack of 12 11oz. Bottles cost $27.32 The Premier Mixed berries smoothie 4 pack cost $7 and I order directly from Premier The bariatric advantage multi cost $36 and the calcium citrate cost $31. The mixes berries smoothie taste so good! I'm gonna order more. Only thing is the mixed berry taste delicious but only has 15 grams of protein per bottle.

Thank you @@thisfathasgot2go I will keep you in my prayers, and I will be looking for your posts in the day after our procedures. I will post as soon as I'm able to after surgery to share my eperiences also. ????

???? I'm scheduled to have my GSV some by Dr. Casiilas on Oct. 8. He's a very warm welcoming Dr. I love his energy. Dr. Benjamin at Kaiser West LA performed my best friends Sleeve, I met with him also but I opted to go with Dr. Casiilas.

Congratulations! I'm scheduled for Oct. 8th. I'm so happy! I think I'm in the nesting phase. I've been cleaning, preparing and doing whatever I can to keep busy. ???? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Thank you for answering that question because for me thinking I will over eat after being sleeved is a big concern for me. ???? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

A healthier me 1. Being able to walk with out exhaustion 2. Being able to make my kids happy and proud. 3. Have more energy and enthusiasm in life 4. To be able to go to sky zone, swimming, and do other fun and amazing things with my children. 5. To feel better mentally and physically 6. To have a healthy heart 7. To be able to sit up with out the pain in my back, and sides, and shoulders 8. To really feel good about me on the outside 9. To look in the mirror head on and like what I see. A smaller me! 10. To be able to cross my legs 11. To stop holding in my stomach 12. To just be able to inhale and exhale and just breath easy 13. To shop for clothes and feel stylish 14. Too feel sexy on the outside 15. To fit in and to feel confident 16. To take a full body selfie and feel good about it 17. To wear shorts and Tank tops, and skinny jeans and statement Tee's 17. To sit in the nail shop chair and not feel uncomfortable 18. To increase my self esteem 19. To feel confident and good about myself to allow love in 20. Ive always been depressed about my weight and its caused me to have low self image and its made me to feel insecure, and unworthy. I want to be skinny, smart, and pretty, and confident. Not the the fat lady that's always taking care of others because she feels like she's not worthy or is too fat to be loved and respected and cared for. Tired of being the fat lady the room alone and lonely. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk
