I have my surgery scheduled for Oct. 20th. I'm getting nervous about doing this. Everybody says, if you can do all the liquid diet for pre & post op, why can't you just stay on that and not have the surgery? If it was that simple, then I would have done it a long time ago. I tell them that I would gain the weight again. I feel likeI need this tool to help me from gaining the weight back. Now I need to find out what brand of meal replacements are the best. Wish me luck everyone.

I wish you all the best and congratulate you on your decision. what we have is only a tool- but a tool that WORKS if you use it. btw, i love powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder- the chocolate and vanilla are great! also, a good multi Vitamin is a must. lots of Water and PROTEIN! attached is a pic of me before- i have lost 36 lbs so far (my date was 7/20) and will post 3 month pics next month. i heard the same stuff from people- try not to take it personally- they just don't get it.

We need to be buddies! I'm scheduled for surgery on the same day! I too am trying to find my protein options and vitamins and what not. I find myself excited one minute and I'm like oh I'm I sure I know what I'm getting myself into, but this surgery is all I have thought about for a year now. Good luck to you!
