My food list says I can have pureed tuna also.

I really needed this today! I have one month until I have my surgery and I am starting to get nervous about altering my body. I keep reassuring myself that the trade off will be so worth it and your story confirms that what I am about to do is the right thing. I am 43 and have spent most of my teens all the way up to my late 30s wanting to die. Since I turned 40 I have wanted to do nothing but live! I have young nieces and nephews that I want to go do fun things with and soon I will be able to. I can't wait to live a full life now! Thank you for sharing your story! I needed to hear it! Congrats on living life to your fullest!

Good luck! Exciting day!

You look great! Congrats!

Yes like hives...I had to stop the premier and advantedge because of the itchy. I have some lotion they gave me but doesn't always help. I am so sick of being itchy! Yes I had rash and my mouth and lips broke out. I got very nausea and vomited every brand I tried and even powder.So what are you doing for protein?

Anyone have any issues with a rash from the protein drinks? I have tried different ones and this rash just won't go away! I am afraid that it may be a reaction to some of the vitamins in them. Any suggestions?

Yes. Only drawback is that you have to mix it yourself. I haven't found it in a premixed drink anywhere. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Well, I was using premier also, but something in it was making me break out in a rash so now I am using Quest. It's really good and I mix it with Water and it still tastes great. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

They didn't give me a diet plan. I have been just counting calories and drinking Protein drinks. I have lost 24 pounds since December 1st. I am required to lose 30 pounds pre surgery. I am almost at my goal. My surgery date is February 27th! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Sorry you are having such drama! I have been using a CPAP for about 3 years now, and I really did hate it for a while when I first got it. You will need to try different masks until you find one that you can tolerate. I absolutely cannot sleep without mine now, if I don't put it on I wake myself up snoring. You will get used to it eventually, just give it some time and remember that its for your health! This is a journey to get healthy all the way around! Hope you can get it straightened out soon.

wow, crickets.......

Hello, I got all of my approvals for my surgery, just waiting for them to give me a surgery date, I have currently lost 12.5 of my 30 pounds required by my surgeon. I would like to have surgery the week of February 5th, 2017. Any suggestions on how to take off my weight faster before surgery without being hungry? I am excited to get my surgery scheduled and start my new lifestyle! Thanks for your help!
