So I did by the Unjury starter pack to try them all. But I think I will supplement the glucerna with the Unjury to vary it up. My sweet hubs is gonna do the Liquid Protein and veggies at night with me. So I can have Soup with chicken or fish or beef and veggies in blender. Oh she also told me no exercise during preop. I will be on the exact diet post op for 10 days.

I had the generic equivilent of prevpac because the brand name was over 300 dollars with excellent insurance. The generic cost me less than 20 bucks!

My insurance covers mine. did you have any side effects? Today was my first day taking it.

SO happy to finally have a surgery date - Oct. 4 -After having completed the 6 mo suprv. diet and all the other requirements, I did lose 40lbs during the 6 months - I am SO ready!! I have BCBS and had approval one day after submitted. I had to read the letter 3 times- I was SO happy! If there's anyone else from South Dakota??? I'm 50, grown kids and some grandkids and ready to start life for ME now.

Great:/

All along the Texas Mexico border including Ciudad Juarez. I highly recommend to dress down no jewelry no fancy stuff hundreds of innocent people have been killed in the cross fIre Don't wander off the main town. U might notice ghost towns since cartels have taken over. Be careful n best of luck

Hello October sleevers! How's everyone doing today? I'm feeling anxious and nerves are kicking in.... giving the pre op diet a trial run today. I'm not suppose to start mine till the 28th, but figured I would see how I do... so far so good... the real test will be after 4 p.m, cause that's when I usually start to get hungry!

I have to say I am excited and nervous! I got my size 14 Levis in mail today and I have to tell you, I cannot see fitting those. They look tiny! I am nervous about my pre-op diet. My hubs is taken me to dinner Friday. It is my favorite meal and restaurant in Bogota. I have pepper steak served with a side of tomatoes, red onions and blue cheese with a bit of olive oil and cracked pepper. Can't forget my glass of Argentina Malbec. So that will be my final "big" meal. Monday starts my real countdown.

Size 14??? What size are you now? I have an attic full of skinny clothes (size 14 the smallest) that are jeans and pullovers, no dated stuff with shoulderpads and peplums and such, lol. But i figure I may not get into them until next year. I am a size 2x and 20/22

I'm doing well! Down 13 lbs so far and still

Have 2 weeks to lose the other 7 prior to surgery. But I'm hoping to be down to 250 on my surgery day. I started at 280 :)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
