I am so excited for all of us! I appreciate all the support and discussion! Good luck to all of us having surgery in the next few weeks! I will start my pre op diet on the 8 th. I have not yet been approved by my insurance. I hope we will have that back this week ahead.

Thank you! Water is a good recommendation and I have not been doing that!!!

I understand! Surgery is scary! I pray for peace and try to deep breathe when the stress hits me.

I am very excited to have my surgery date! July 16th! I am having trouble sticking to my diet. I have gained back about 3 pounds. Any suggestions? I have really craved sugar lately.

Thanks!!! I have been trying different brands and flavors in the premade containers to figure out what I like before investing in the powder. They are kind of expensive and I am told to try Sams Club to buy a case. So far I like the Muscle Milk in chocolate and my favorite is Premier Carmel. I did not care for banana Bariateic Advantage. Many offices will give samples. Good luck!

I started about a month ago and just had my second appt with the surgeon. I am learning so much about things I never knew about diabetes and managing my sugar. I have lost 4 lbs with adding protein to my diet. This month I will work on flipping my eating schedule so I eat my largest meal (not that large?) at breakfast and not dinner and drinking more water. Any good tips on high protein breakfast options in addition to the shake that I can take on the run?
