Stop exercising for now. Your putting on muscle. Wait until after for that. You need to look at what your drinking. How many sugars are in it and how much Protein. Try between 15 and 20 g of protein per shake, 11 oz to 14oz only. Muscle milk lite is awesome tasting and has about 20is g of protein. EAS Myoplex and Atkins are also excellent tasting and in the correct range. I get 4 - 5 shakes or a bar and 4 shakes or 4 shakes and a Soup. All the non starchy veggies and 3 Servings of fruit and thats it. 800 - 1000 calories per day.

I saw the surgeon today and got all my Vitamins and Protein supplements (is that not racket? $350 for 90 days of vitamins am two bags of Bariatric Advantage protein). I am lucky - I don't have to do a full liquid pre-op except the day before. I'm on three shakes a day and one lean meal. He explained that it has to do with BMI. I am a 38 BMI (major comorbities), so he feel confident my liver will be okay on that. Makes me happy. I am starting the pre-op tomorrow and then on July 14 I go to Clear Liquids for my July 15 date. It is starting to feel real!

Howdy y'all! My date is July 1st and I'm BEYOND ready! I was wondering if any of the July Sleevers write blogs? If so' date=' what is your blog called so I can follow you! Mine is http://kjordanjournal.blogspot.com. I just started about a month ago and I absolutely love the therapeutic feeling I get from "putting it all out there!"

I look forward to keeping up with this group and celebrating with you on the looser's bench! Good night!

I'm July 2, we must keep in touch!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
