Omg..I am having the same thoughts (my surgery is scheduled for February 11th). I am so conflicted, lots of thinking to do:/

Hi,

It seems to be intensifying as it draws closer. I'm at the point just do it already so I can stop debating it in my head.

I haven't tried them yet but stopped at GNC on my way home from work today. I bought 4 of the Isopure Protein Drinks. They are buy 3 get 1 free so it was a better deal. Total was $16. They are 24 oz so two servings a bottle, 40 grams of protien total, 0 carbs. From what I read/videos, people either love or hate them. The main reason I decided on these was the are like Gatorade instead of a shake which I don't like. Will let you know how they taste :)

I am having surgery February 6th, have been on the 2 week pre-op diet since Wed, and lost 3 lbs! It is not too bad, 1000 cal, low carb...I am looking forward to getting to the other side of the surgery as well.

my preop is the 1st, surgery the 18th, taking 10 days off of work,, then going to have help for 4 days, then off again for 5 days, I don't care what kind of diet they put me on, I do better with rules then free reign LOL going to keep posting my whole experience, I don't have a whole lot of weight to lose, my bmi is 34 but I am short, this for me is preventative medicine, my mother died very young with horrible diabetes and heart issues, not going to let it happen to me. I am very determined and dedicated to this. Mary

Woohoo!! I'm on the 18th as well! Best of luck

I'm feb 6th as well and I started pre op diet on Wednesday as well but only one pound lost but I'm also fighting against the Water weight gain due to my cycle. I hope to see a significant weight loss by next week. Have to at least get to my original consult weight or they won't do the surgery. If you are one puns over the weight that you weighed on your first consult visit the day of surgery they will cancel the surgery so that being said I am on pins and needles

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
