Man I underestimated how uncomfortable the gas pain would be! I had my last pain med at the hospital around 8am. My dr doesn’t send you home with anything and tells you to use Tylenol. I’m so uncomfortable that I’m just camped out in my living room in the recliner. What day did the gas pains go away for you?

Its officially JUNE!! Happy surgery month everyone! I have three days until surgery and I'm starting to get that nervous feeling

I started my journey in December and I am less then 3 weeks until my surgery date. My program requires you to lose a certain percentage of body weight before surgery. My surgery goal was 21 pounds and so far I’ve been able to lose 43. Now I’m so close to surgery day and I have this overwhelming desire to eat all my favorite crappy foods one last time. Yes I know eventually down the road you can indulge from time to time. I realize that it’s not like I will never get to eat pizza ever again. I also really want to lose another 7 pounds to hit 50 before surgery. 50 pounds before surgery was a personal goal I had set for myself. I need a way to shut off the part of my brain that wants to eat all the junk in the next few weeks.

I believe my date is going to be May 8th. That's the date they submitted to my primary insurance (united healthcare). I don't have bariatric surgery coverage with my primary though so I'm waiting for them to submit to my secondary (Aetna). Fingers crossed that's the date I actually get!!

Just my personal opinion here... I think that group may have been targeted because they drove their own car over the border with US plates. On top of that they were lost so who knows how bad the area was they ended up in. Someone who knows where they are going and what they are doing will pick you up and be driving you. I feel that alone makes you much safer. Also now that this has happened I feel like the police presence may be increased.

Jordan's Skinny syrups are really good and have a wide variety of flavors for coffee and other drinks as well. In my opinion, they are much better than all the others I have tried. Zero cal, zero sugar, zero Protein for 2 tablespoons. I bought mine at TJ Maxx. You can get them on Amazon but are considerable higher in price than TJ Maxx. I have tried about 8 flavors, my favorite is Vanilla Caramel Creme. Actually tastes like it has creamer in your coffee. Word of caution: Jordan's Skinny Syrups are quite strong with flavor and sweetener. Start with a small amount, a teaspoon at a time, until you determine how much you want. A little goes a long way.

Half and half and a scoop of Vital Proteins Vanilla collagen (and before anyone jumps all over me for even uttering the word "collagen" I AM NOT COUNTING IT TOWARD MY Protein GOALS, it just makes my skin look nicer), and a couple splendas.

I’m using my Protein Shakes. The Premier Protein cake batter flavor is yummy

I use my Protein Shake mix or sugar free creamer. And I went back to regular coffee right away... no issue

I am not a huge coffee drinker and only like it cold. I am more of a "coffee drink" type of person.
Yanno, those super sweet decadent high calorie, tons of sugary coffee FLAVORED drinks (basically desserts)?
So now after surgery, I just add coffee to caramel shakes to get that "coffee drink" fix.
Tons of people use sugar free Creamers, and sugar free flavors though. I haven't found a flavor Syrup that doesn't taste like pure chemicals so I stopped wasting my money and just do the shakes.

So I have a cold brew maker from Amazon. Basically a large mason jar with a wire filter in it. I fill it with cold Water and put in the filter and add 1 cup of decaf coffee grounds. It goes in the fridge overnight and I pull out the filter and its ready to go
