Glad I found a buddy up this way! Thanks for reaching out! ?keep moving forward and losing weight before the procedure.

Keep my contact information and contact me when you need. I’d like to know how you are feeling as you get closer to surgery. And I’d of course like to hear from you after surgery.

Any time. You’re welcome. Keep in touch. Have faith in dr malhoutra and your surgical team. They were so fantastic. Knew exactly what to do. The nurses were great too. You’ll do great!

Good for you! You kept going which is what matters.

You will need to rest for a while after surgery. I took two weeks off of work.

Oh wow. Three girls. My youngest boy is 14.

No. I am not working at ORMC. I work from home.

Yes. I did the liver shrinking diet.

Yeah. Don’t go over board buying. Buy some jello. You’ll want that. And sugar free ice pops.

It’s ok to be nervous. Use me as a buddy. I’ll walk you through it. Keep my contact info. Maybe someday we can meet up. I am a 49 year old mom of three boys and a registeres nurse btw.

Before surgery I drank the premier protein shakes but after surgery my stomach can’t tolerate them. Also need crystal lite to add to water. I don’t like the taste of regular water anymore for some reason.

I didn’t do the liquid vitamins. I bought the multivitamin with iron on bariatric pal. The only one that doesn’t make me vomit. I bought calcium chews From target-viactiv

No dumping. I’m eating a Girl Scout cookie right now! (Don’t tell anyone lol). I was in the hospital one night. Did the swallow test in the morning to check for leaks and all was well. Then later in the day they had me drink water and I vomited a little bit but they sent me home with medication to stop the vomiting. I’ve been fine. Swallow pills no problem.

And yes, I add either Splenda or regular sugar.
