MIssCherita I have not started any diet...need to go protien shopping. My Doctors instructions say 3 days before surgery. Any suggestions on good Protein shakes?

Well my doctor suggested I buy their Opti-fast for 5 days before and I did but I wanted to start a little earlier so I wouldn't cheat so I grabbed a box and went to Walmart! I picked the Special K Protein shake because everything was pretty much the same. My doctor told me not to get the mixes because the powders and get stuck in your throat and I don't want to give them ANY reason to postpone my surgery!

I'm on day three and in all honesty it hasn't been that bad, although I have to admit I cheated tonight and had a bite (one small bite) of grilled chicken. Otherise I have been sticking with my protien shakes, cottage cheese, broth and Water...a little yogurt tossed in for good measure. Day one was bad. I was craving a Whopper Jr. like nobody's business, but I stayed strong and just pushed through it. Day two was not that bad and today (aside from the bite of chicken) has been the same. I know that this is the best thing for me to become a better, healthier person, so I will push through and I KNOW you can all do it as well.

Best of luck to you my fellow soon to be Bandsters.

I'm Feb. 23 as well. In the beginning, it seemed so far off and now suddenly, here it is, next week. I have my final appointment Monday to go over what to expect (again!) and get my prescriptions for nausea and acid.

Honestly, I'm more nervous about my reaction to the anesthesia then the aftereffects of the surgery. General anesthesia makes me sick and it seems to get worse each time I go under. The last time I was pretty miserable when they woke me us. I can't imagine vomiting after this kind of surgery, so I'm hoping the anti-nausea drugs are really good!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
