Hi buddies! May 14th for me! Super excited, it's been in the works for a year. I'm 33 and in sunny San Diego. I've tried to join the group a million times, but nothing happens when I click join group. Anyone know what I need to do?

Hi MG in SD welcome to the group! you are a member, I just checked. What you need to do is click on the tab that says "Groups" and it should give you a list of the groups you belong to. click on the May 2012 sleevers and you are in! let me know if this does not work and I will see what else might be wrong.

How is everyone doing on their pre-op diet? To be honest I am struggling.

I am having a hard time getting in all my Protein shakes, I was suppose to get in 60 grams but now I get in about 30. I eat 1 serving of greek yogurt, sugar free Jello, and try and drink 60 ounces of Water a day. I have been on the liquid diet since the 12 and have surgery on 5/3 yay it is almost here. I has been a struggle for me too but I just think about the weight loss and how I will feel.

Then it is all worth it.

It's difficult at times (especially when a commercial with some amazing looking food comes on...I typically have to change the channel. Lame I know lol) I'm trying my best to learn to love whey Protein. Finding flavors that suit you is important. There are unflavored alternatives that are definitely helpful. My best friend used to be bread, I kinda miss him but not so much as to sabotage the journey. :) hang in there and remember that you can always stand up and try again. :)

Can you recommend any of the Protein Shakes? I was thinking of using MetRX, since I have a bullet blender. But I'll need some pre-mixed ones for work. Any ideas? Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Had my pre op tests done yesterday at the hospital- now it's really starting to be real! Getting nervous, thinking about all the "what ifs". I'm starting my pre op diet today.

Looking forward to a healthier and happier life :)

My doctor had me purchase Pro-Stat 64 (sugar free). 2 tablespoons have 15 grams of Protein so you can put in a shake, Water or anything to get in the protein.

Thank You!!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
