Can you try plant based Proteins and see it that makes a difference?

Read read read. Out depends on what you're looking for , i think, I'm not sleeved yet but I'm looking at Snacks and different foods for later.

Read labels. I've found that plant products Are much higher in Protein than any others. I've picked up some edemmame dried and sea salted, they've got 20 g Protein per serving, and they're CRUNCHY!

If they are immediate release you can still take them. If they are "extended release" you need to switch to an immediate release medication.

My husband is willing for me to go have the surgery, but he seems afraid of the changes to our entire life...

Last night my husband talked with his sister who had the VSG, in Mexico, last May. She had been on a cruise and complained about not being able to eat... Hubby asked me why I would want to do that to myself.

He is upset that we won't be able to go our and eat again. Our dates have ALWAYS revolved arounf eating. I am ready for our dates to move onto something different.

I am 50 years old. I have tried everything! I'll have a small victory, then re-gain everything, plus more.

I am ready to make changes. I'm in pain all the time, I have bad GERD, sleep apnea, High BP, high cholesterol...

I know I have made bad decisions for 50 years. I am ready to make changes. For myself, my 2 boys 12 & 10, my husband.

Anyone out there wish they hadn't had the surgery? Anyone struggle with the lifestyle changes? Do you struggle with your family? Do they understand your decision, or wanting to make a huge change in your lifestyle?

My sister in law had a VSG in Mexico in May 2016. She has lost about 60 LBS so far and was really happy with her DR and Clinic in Mexico.

Good luck! Let me know if you choose them. Maybe we can try to schedule our surgery at the same time. I'm hoping for the 3rd or 4th week in Jan.

Wow! Great work! What is your exercise of choice?

Hi, I just joined this site yesterday! I'm shooting for a surgery date sometime in the 2nd or 3rd week in January. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching you tube videos to help me learn what to expect. I wonder if y'all have any suggestion for what I should be doing NOW to prepare, if anything, for January?

Also, I'm 50 with 2 boys 10 & 12 yrs old. Anyone here with similar life circumstances?

Trying to set up my profile, but I haven't figured out how. I've tried clicking in the areas that are blank, but nothing will open.
