I find I’m cold most of the time now, too. Especially just after eating.

I just tried the Outshine no-sugar added pops last night, and they rock! My nutritionist said they're fine if I can tolerate them, and they have so much more flavor than the Popsicle sf pops.

I’m on the 19th as well. I have the same feelings. We’ve got this!

Anyone out there have WLS scheduled in February 2020?

I just found out my surgery date is Feb 19, 2020. I’m so ready for this!

Waaaaay too much sugar in regular and sugar turns into fat...
Water them down or look for sugar free cordial

Regular sugar drinks are a definite no-no for me, and probably most of us. Definitely talk to the nutritionist and see was s/he says. I would say, at the very least... dilute them! It took me a few weeks to get used to the "zero" versions of these drinks. And they are definitely less "sweet" when you have the crushed ice start to melt in them.

Yes, only my husband, mom and sister know about my upcoming surgery. ?

I’ll be on February 14!! Yay happy Valentine’s Day to me!! Best gift I could ever have. I’m so very happy!

Okay that's neat. I'm just doing alot of research to figure out what I'm going to do for post op with the shakes and broths and powders and best brands and all that. There's so much out there.

Im almost 6 months post op and havent told anyone except my parents and bf. I plan to keep it that way or the rest of my life lol

Just got my surgery date... February 3rd. I'm excited/ nervous!!

@blette that's my date too!! I'm so excited. What kind of pre op diet do you have to do?

I just got my date - February 19th :)

I found out yesterday I got insurance approval! And I just got a date! February 19th. But I have a question. My surgeon's office let me know what I have to pay them for the surgery but it's only to cover the cost of the surgeon and the assistant surgeon and it has to be paid at my pre-op appointment. But they don't know what I will owe for the hospital, anesthesiologist, and pathology. Nor do they know when I will need to pay it? Do y'all know if this is something they bill later like normal stuff or what?

Hey, haven't been on for a while, but I got ins. approval today! I'm gunning for Feb 4 or 11; got a lot of work to do and new staffer starting in late January. Got so much to do...

My RNY is scheduled for Feb 19th in Richmond VA.

I am at the very beginning of my journey. I just had my consult for gastric bypass surgery last Wednesday and already have my consult appointment for my endoscopy and my first nutrition appointment scheduled for next week. I love reading all the posts and seeing all the success stories! I will be posting my journey along the way. I have to have 6 months of nutrition classes as one of my insurance requirements, so I should be ready for surgery by January. Any and All advise is welcome ?❤️
