Cocongratulations! How are u feeling? My plan date is Jan 28, 2021. I'm so excited!

I agree w Bifbills.... Don't b scared to tell them u hurt. I am not one for pain & I'll NAG the HELL out of a nurse to relieve my pain. I told my Dr more than once that after my surgery on Jan 28,2021 I will ring that bell til someone can help me. How u feel better

I got the news today. My surgery is Jan 28, 2021. Omg! I am so siked! My Dr laughted at me bcuz I was dancing ? I hv lost 6lbs w this diet in about 2mnths so I can imagine how much more I will b able to lose once this happens. The past 2yrs my weight has bn going up so I'm excited not to feel my stomach on my thighs when I sit or my fat under my chin when I bend my head ? that is so annoying to me? but in the long run I know it'll b worth it...... YAAAY! TO ME

Yaaaay!! Congrats! I just got my date today... Jan 28, 2021 I am so siked!! ?

I Hvnt had mine done yet but my Dr told me1-2days after surgery. If they let me out the same day as the surgery, I'd freak out. I would let him (ur Dr) know that ur not comfortable leaving the same day. U hv every right to b nervous

All this is good info. Thanks! I would hv bought my charger, phone, tablet to play my games. & walk! My knees gives me prblms but w the weight going w the surgery... I can't wait to walk more. EXCITED!!

I'm driving my nutritionist CRAZY w all the questions I hv regarding the diet. Soooo .... Right now they told me that I'm on a 1200 calorie regiment, 60-90 grams of protein &,as much Fiber as I can. Slow dwn on the carbs & sugars. So I'm guessing that's cool being they didn't say I hv to lose any weight. My Ins cleared me, most of my Dr's cleared me my next chk up w my surgeon is nxt wk so I'll c where i stand. My pulmonologist & PvP clearance is the end of the month. Hopefully this will b my Christmas present if he gives me a tentative date then. Fingers crossed. Be my BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVA!! (I'm a Feb baby)

I'm interested in this as well. I found a soup that has at least 9grams of protein. Hvnt tried it yet tho. Yes I hv also looks up some sites & yes they are expressive. I'm at a lost too. I drive my nutritionist crazy w all the questions I hv about the protein & fiber stuff. Hope someone can help us.

No. I'm neither.

Thanks Snowcones. Good luck w ur Sx on the 2nd. Wat a great holiday gift. My birthday is Feb 16th, so if they ok me for Feb... Wata great bday gift for myself! Struggle w b waaaay worth it! ?

I love.... I mean LOVE ice cream.... I found an ATKINS fudge yogurt bar. I cheat ? but once I get my fix, I'm ok to go back to my Fiber, Blah, blah, blah.... It's the chewing slowly that's killing me. I fight w myself. I give myself a good cussing out to stick to this new habit. ? I'm dedicated & it's really a mental adjustment. So for everyone who's gone through this and just starting .... good luck!! I'm right behind y'all (fingers crossed) Any suggestions on CHEWABLE VITAMINS? Pre & Post.

Congrats on ur Sx! How r u feeling? Where u nervous? Thanks for the advice on the vitamins. My nutrionist said FLINTSTONES chewable. I'm going to try urs first. Lol. Feel better & heal well.

Thanks Big J. I've bn trying everything. I did stop the smoothies & resorted to H2O.... But I still get up during the night, sleeping pills & all. I hv a hard time sleeping. I also hv a hard time w Protien. I hv more CARBS than anything. I'm cutting back on alot but everything, & I mean EVERYTHING seems to hv carbs in it. I started eating veggies ( raw slice cucumbers, squash, celery)as snacks freaking tuna, turkey meats chewing more ( I hv lost 3lbs in 1wk) but those DAMN CARBS r everywhere ? not to mention the calories. I'm tryna stay under 1200 calories a day. HOW CAN I REDUCE THE CARBS?! ??

I'm guessing that's my deal. 3 months prior to Sx. They just say ur ins have you 3months. I'm hvn more trouble w the eating than the water. Uuugh.I'm lit you. Tryna get recipes/protein & more protein & less carbs Thanks Jaye W

Interesting....., hummmm

I'm just starting out. No Sx yet. But Funny U mention the patches. I just called my Dr's office to inquire about them. They don't know much about them They said if they come in the recommend doses, y not. but after Sx they said I'll b on gummies. So I'm going to stick to gummies.

So ur husbandsco worker had Good results? Good to hear. I'm tryna drink some water in themiddle of the night, not helping, But in hopeful lol. It's still early. Just went shopping & ONG! The prices for low sodium, fat & Sugar free are so expensive. I bought a few things to c if I like'em. Hv u tried those But patches They'er advertising? Wondering if they work. Honda tryn coconut rice tonight w some salmon & a protein soup as a snack along w 3 pieces of cheese & 16 pcs of wheat thins. Gotta get this protien thing under wraps...it sucks

Thank you for replying

What was your weight when u began & day of surgery? Just curious. Did the Dr's ask u to lose weight b4 ur Sx date? I'm asking because I want asked to do that, just to said eat protein, protein & more protein & take Vit D3. I'm 226 lbs. Can't wait to get back dwn to 150 (haven't seem that # since H.S [emoji28]) 160lbs would b nice. Bikini would b nice too. Hv never been in 1 so I bought 1 in a size LARGE as an initiative, 3yrs ago. CANT WAIT TO C IF I CAN GET INTO IT. I'M wearing it to Tahiti & Turks & Co?? Yup .... BABY GAP! here I come [emoji28][emoji28]

Good luck w ur NEW JOURNEY & BODY! GO GET IT GIRL.

This is What I'm looking forward to! Look good [emoji106]

Love the results!

U look AMAZING! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK... MY HERO

OMG! My dad is going through a Gout thingy. I understand u hv to change ur diet? From what I understand everyone in here had changed their diets. & yes it is painful. Try to soak ur feet in EPSOM SALT. that seems to help my him (he's 83yrs old). Gotta question...... I want to complete my profile. Wanted to know .. how do u figure out ur BMI?

My nutritionist just said eat more protein, protein, protein. My Dr is jamming my bldwk, counseling, & Dr appts all in 3mnths, so it's going pretty fast & then they said to join this appt, sign into another appt, keep track of ur meals..... blah,blah,blah! I hv no idea on what I'm doing. I DID hear .. "find some friends" so u don't hv to go alone in this. I'm still trying to figure out THIS app. From what I'm told by my brother, who has gone through this a few yrs back said that the therapist wants to know y ur doing this? For good reasons, of course. And wants to c if ur mentally ready for the surgery. I know I sure am! Good luck oh & therapist is not to long after the nutrionist
