  1. I am new here and am in the submission for approval stage. Hoping to have surgery 12/28!! I haven't met anyone in person who has had WLS. Can you post your first couple of months losses so I can see what is possible? Thank you so much!!
  2. Hello all! I would love to meet ladies in the Denver, CO area. My liquid pre op diet is over Christmas....yikes!!
  3. Wish me luck! I get up at 430 am to take the antiseptic shower and then head out to be at the hospital at 530 am. Surgery is 730 to 900 am!!
  4. 6 months due to my insurance requiring 6 months of classes. Sooooo glad I had to wait. The program my surgeon has is amazing. Surgery is tomorrow at 730 am in Colorado

    Protein Shakes and Meal plan

    I tasted a lot of shakes! I like Premier Protein shakes the best. I get chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Then I add coffee to the chocolate and the vanilla. I add pumpkin pie spice to the vanilla.
  6. I will be going through this after my Monday surgery. We discussed this topic in our surgeons classes. I got a therapist to help sort this out. I want to be slim. I will need to lose more than I had originally thought about. I am going for a 6. I have never bought a 6 as an adult. I remember being an 8 and a 10 but that was in 1985. If attention from others is making you uncomfortable then can you take the time to look into that? I won't be wearing tight clothes. It will be very strange to get attention after being "invisible" all the time I have been overweight. Also, can you post this same topic in other forums and Google this as well to get more information? I am so sorry you are uncomfortable. You deserve to be incredibly happy after being so brave! !
  7. I see an estitician for my skin. She is licensed and also a registered nurse with 25 years in the plastic surgeon field. There are many options available thst are less expensive than Rodan and Fields. I am excited to see what she can do if I have the sagging skin!
  8. I am on day 5 of all liquids to shrink the liver. Today is easily the hardest. I want real food and I don't mean salads! I had lost every morning when I weighed in and this morning gained 2.9 lbs. Makes no sense that I gained. Oh well, right? ? My husband has been very supportive. He told me today he was afraid he wasn't going to say the right thing in the next couple of weeks. I am being more clear on the verbal support I will need!
  9. The sugar on the one is 6 grams and we should look for 5 grams and under so I would totally still try it! We need to see the list of ingredients. That is what can tell us if our tummies can take it. Cool stuff! There are different kinds of Protein so I will go check....
  10. You look great!!! My surgery is Monday. I am on the 7 day liquid only stage so we didn't do Christmas. No decorating and not one single unhealthy food. It felt just fine because we are worth it!!
  11. I go in for surgery Monday so I will have an answer soon!

    Frustration and anger

    I am on my 7 day liquid pre-op and man are my hormones all over! I could snap at anyone. I am so sorry you had this happen. So I imagined someone saying something mean to me...as I am sure will happen....and I came up with some really good zingers! You have support here!!
  13. InnerSurferGirl-you are brave! I cannot imagine getting in a pool. I do promise to think about it after my surgery and contemplate maybe after 4 months. ...maybe. Boy, talk about a comfort zone issue for me! You rock!!

    3 Week Stall

    I am in my 7 days of liquid pre-op stage and already know a stall will be tough. Everyone say stay off the scale...BUT...I can tell I will be weighing regularly. I gained 3 lbs since yesterday and this is the liver cleanse liquid stage where lots lose 10 lbs or more! Yikes!!! I talked to my husband and explained stalls to him and how he can support me since we get the stalls! My class taught us to increase our calorie count by 200 calories a day and increase our exercise and to try a new form of exercise. Then track everything! I hope you all pass through your stall soon! I will be crossing my fingers for you!!

    Hungry?

    The Premier Protein shakes are available everywhere and are not expensive, are ready to drink and are my favorite. The 30 grams of protein should help with hungry tummy! I get all 3 flavors. I added coffee to my chocolate shake for mocha. I added Torani sugar free syrups to my vanilla shakes and can make so many flavors.
  20. JenniferP1, that is so amazingly giving of you!

  22. I have my hernia repair at the same time so I can easily say...I had esophagus surgery and that called for a liquid only diet for 3 weeks!
