I'm using Gold Standard Pure 100% whey I got from Amazon. It's cheap and the flavors are really good. 130 calories w/ 24 g of Protein. With skim miilk they taste great.

Yesterday was my final appt before surgery. All my blood work and tests came back good so I'm ready to go. AAAAAAAND I don't have to do a pre-op diet. WOOT. My surgeon (Dr. Chua, he's amazingggg) doesn't believe in them. I also have a pretty awesome post-op. I only have to do Clear Liquids the day of and after surgery. After that I can move on to puddings and Soups and stuff.

I'm super excited, next Wednesday is the day!!!! biggrin.gif

Hi. This is my first posting. My surgery date is set for December 20 and I cannot wait! Congrats to all the other December bandsters. Great Christmas present to ourselves. But, have to do this pre-op diet first and I start that fairly soon. Any tips on how to get the Protein without drinking all the sweet shakes?

Had my final appointment. Did not get a date, but was told the surgery coordinator would call me within a week with a date. Hopefully it is soon.

I had my appt. with the pre-op nurse yesterday. We went over all the details of my surgery. It's gonna be an outpatient surgery and I'm scheduled for this Friday the 3rd at 11:15am. Please pray for me and my family. I am so far away from my family and they are so worried. I'm getting more and more nervous and anxious as the day nears. Dr. refused to give me some Valiums but that's ok. 3 days to go and I'll be posting in the post-op section. Thanks to all the people who have showed support. I'm just going to enjoy these days and eat all my favorite meals, since I am not on a pre-op diet. Good luck to all of you guys who are going before me and after me. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I started the pre op diet yesterday!! So far so good. I am a little worried about later today.

December 8th is also my surgery date!!

I am on day 7 of the Opti Fast (liquid) and my surgery is next Thursday 12/9. The first 2 days I had a horrible headache but nothing to make me go off the liquid. Now every shake is one step closer to next week. Good Luck!

You and your family are in my thoughts. You will be ok and even though you'll be in post op section, you have to come back and let us know how everything went with you.

Good Luck...

Good luck Sal! I'm sure everything will go just fine for you - please let us know how you are doing after surgery and I will do the same. You and your family will be in my prayers.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
