I'm hoping my preop plan is that nice to me! Lol

Oh and I'm having gastric bypass though instead of sleeve.

I'm not exact, my surgery is April 1st, I am 41 and 5'4". I was 291, now I'm 300 because I gained quitting smoking. Trying to get some of that back off now. I have my 1st surgeon appointment this Thursday, them dietisoan and liquid diet class the following monday. Getting real around here!

I am anxious. Seems like it's been forever. I start the gauntlet of all the presurgical and liquid diet class stuff next week. I'm counting days! I'm still nervous and to what to buy to have at home. Everyone keeps saying wait to buy protein shakes etc because I might not be able to drink them after surgery. I live alone so I dont have anyone to just send shopping for me after surgery. Kinda stressing. I'm glad your surgery went smooth! 4 days post op! Im jealous! I hope you heal fast! Yay Michigan! I'm from Michigan! And having surgery April 1st- hopefully my surgeon doesnt have a sense of humor that could get interesting lol

Just on a hunch, there was another person that had this issue, and ended up being allergic to whey protein. This could be why your nutritionist mentioned milk based protein drinks- sensitivity to whey protein is actually a thing. Find some not based on whey- look at ingredients. Do small amounts at a time- most people it takes about 2 hours to drink a single 11oz. premade shake. You also could have issues with artificial sweetners, which all of them have. Look for some with monk fruit, or stevia, or specifically try to avoid sugar alcohols.

Thank you! I'm hoping I get to join the February team! Im so ready for this!

I am getting my required nicotine testing done next week, then its just waiting while they send all the info to the insurance company. I am thinking end of February maybe early March surgery date, fingers crossed. It's been a long road - these darn cigarettes. I completed all my other requirements but was struggling to quit smoking. I finally got it- and I am 30 days clean as of Monday, I feel really good about it and no longer having any cravings. Hopefully they don't ding me too hard on the weight gain.

Got it! Thank you, I figured it out. I kept going to profile, and didn't see there was areas below it that was for my surgery etc....duh!

How on earth do you update your stats?? I click on and nothing happens, wont let me edit at all, only basic profile stuff
