Thanks Ginger! I'll message ya the details of what I went through so you can be prepared!

So Amine, how's the pro op diet going?? Did u buy their shakes? My friend who went through IBC said their Protein shakes are a lot higher in protein so fill u up better and it last longer...

I hope all is going well!

Hey Ginger!

I'm doing pretty good so far I'm on Day 4 and not having any issues really. I bought the Baratric Advantage from there office. Its enriched with a lot of good vitamans and such. I think all there bags have 35 servings in them so I bought 2 bags to be sure I had enough! And yes they fill you up and I was suprised! I take atleast 3 a day and then have a WW meal for dinner. I think I have dropped 8 pounds already!!

I got my approval today! I'm scheduled for May 28th.

Well, we willl be going in for surgery on the same day the 28th of May. I was thinking of getting mine pushed up, but i think it is to late, they are most likely booked up plus I am a little scared anyway. Hope everything goes well with you. I start liquids on the 22nd.

I had mine done through Ibc too

I'm doing pretty good! Just relaxing and getting up and walking around a 2 hours. Surgery went awesome! Didnt have any issues in recovery other than switching beds. But you will be taken care of!

Hey Kellhale! I just posted on another thread about a support group that meets a the Illinois Bariatric Center in Champaign the first Thursday of every month at 6:00. It helped me a lot when I started out, and I really encourage anyone to go at least a few times to meet people in the same boat as you!
