So i have tried these drinks called Isopure. They go down so much easier, they dont have a chalky texture, they go down like Water but do have an after taste. But i find them 1000 times easier than Protien shakes. They are 40 grams or protein per 20 oz bottle!!!

Thats a great question. I suppose when it moves more down than usually. Im not sure though. wish i could help more

That's amazing! Congrats on your surgery, and good luck with your success!!!

I thought your suppose to avoid carbs, they enlarge your liver

Honestly, I would not discuss the surgery at this time, because it may put her in that mind set i can always have surgery later in life. I would definitely get her involved in activity like working out and even just going for nightly jogs with mom. I would also help her with food choices now. She notices your weight loss with changes and having her do the same will only be beneficial. I wish you luck in anything you decide to do with her. But definitely get her to change her life style. It will only be better for her in the long run!

You just seriously made my day!!! I love this!!!

im having surgery the same day, and i have thought about it too. I think loose skin is kind of inevitable because of how fast the weight comes off. But genetics def play a huge factor. I also know that everyone has some form of hair loss, its natural and biotin may help. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SURGERY!!!!

even in my teens i was a size 13!

So i go to my local GNC and they have a return policy, you can try a protein supplement and if you dont like it you can return for full refund. That is what i have been doing myself

did you have a lot of dry mouth? Im wondering if i should get this biotine spray.

So i'm wondering if there was something set up for a discount or if it is still in the works

Hey Alisha, i was wondering how you are feeling post op and how everything went

We are having surgery the same day, how are you feeling?

Hi!! Im having surgery the same day!!! Have you started pre-op diet yet?

That would be great so we could all keep in touch and keep updated and share experiences. Im definately interested!

Well i will be having my surgery next week at the age of 27!

From what i've read and been told. You should monitor yourself for the next few days, if you start to get ill or anything you could have gotten some food stuck in the stitches, but just call the dr. office and let them know. im sure they will say it will be fine but if you feel off to just be seen.

so i need to make sure im taking very small bites at all times? Im worried cause i still take big bites

That's amazing! Everyone is so close to surgery dates!

Well, I have Protein powder, my chicken broth, and my veggies and chicken. I will surviv3! I'm definitely not ready to start though I am starting my pre-op diet Wed., fun fun! Shall be interesting how the two weeks go. Got my decaf coffee and Keurig ready, Vitamins, even bought a Brita Water filtration pitcher to ensure I keep hydrated. Even have all my Muscle Milk Light Concentrate Isolate Protein shake mix and quick Premier Protein drink bottles, broth, Jello, etc. Are you ready?

That is amazing maria. I definatley will keep you in the loop so you know what to expect, and you can ask me anything. Im starting my preop diet tomorrow, not looking forward to it.

You had me cracking up, I avoid tv for that reason, ever since i started to diet almost 2 months now. Those commercials are sooo tempting lol. Thats great that you only had to do 1 week of liquids. How have you been feeling energy wise? Also have you been walking yet?

Thank you! I definatley will keep you updated. I was wondering have you purchased "special" plates/bowls/utensils? I was advised to do so by some people but i really dont want to use baby rubber spoons LOL
