I think I'm going to do premier. Waited to late to order a trial pack of unjury.

Hi, don't know anything about that brand but my doctor recommend infusion bariatric whey powder. Was only just told Tuesday to start drinking Thursday luckily I rushed out to pickup mix wed late afternoon after working double. I was first under the impression regular whey powder would suffice. Sigh, doesn't really matter though yummy flavors even if with just Water still creamy. Start my road to a new life Sept 4 th and waiting for big thumbs up from my physician surgery dates Nov 1 st. So whatever hoops I'll jump !!! : D

I have a surgery date of nov 1. Started in may. Been a long road but I believe it will be worth it. Start my preop diet Monday. It is based on protien and carbs. No counting calories until after.

I have been doing shakes in the morning for like 2 weeks... trying different ones... They haven't made me feel sick at my stomach though.

I ordered a sample box of unjury brand... I've heard they're pretty good. i'll find out tonight when they arrive.

Is your diet - 2 shakes and a sensible dinner? I don't know yet what my pre-op diet will be as i meet with my nutritionist monday.

You excited about the surgery? I'm super excited but scared.

I'm super excited but nervous as well I weigh 250 at 5'2 so I am ready for this next step. I lost 55lbs with workout and weight watchers but still feel hungry.. I'm kinda stressed today so I think that's why my stomachs upset ugh!! I am jus drinking the choc n vanilla from Walmart..I'm hoping I can make it thru this couple of weeks.

If your shakes aren't already prepared try mixing in sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding with a splash of extract almond etc. Or change milk options to almond sugar free, soy if ur lactose intolerant. What works for me is pureed veggies like broccoli couple Tbsp five, 4 oz almond milk, crystal light but really Walmart variety any flavor than ice blend well. Or place your milk variety 4-6 oz in a cup let freeze for a bit than place in blended add Protein powder almond extract a dash than a couple teaspoons of either sugar free Jello / sugar free pudding!! You'll think ur eating a shake

congrats on your success so far. I need the lapband to help me keep it off... I have been successful in the past but haven't ever been able to keep it off. I'm ready for a change.

I think you'll do great. We should help motivate each other since we're on the same surgery date... Lean on each other when it's tough...

I'm Carrie!

      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!!
