I set June 22,2013 in Tijuana. Same day surgery, because I did not want to sit around and get scared about it. I'm excited, two months will fly by.

Did u already do your visits with your primary care doctor? I know that i am with Cigna and I had to hve that dne also. If u hve already had that dne it shouldn't take that long, just let the people know that are running the tests that you would like ur results forwarded to the insurance company or to the surgeons office asap

I responded to this earlier under Yahoo but I just see where it didn't deliver -

Congratulations! I'm happy for you. How much have you lost so far? I had it

on last Wednesday 8/21/2013 when I had my gall bladder removed. Can you

give me some suggestions for some good liquid Protein? Or maybe a shake

that you can't smell the Protein? I did pretty good with the Protein shakes before surgery, but they are not good now.

Thanks! I hve lost about 30 lbs so far! The Protein that worlds best for me is Unjury, it was recommended by my nutritionist, it's a little on the expensive side but it works the best for me. I only know for it to be sold on the Unjury.com website and they ship pretty fast also. They hve large containers or packets that I can buy to try. The unflavored protein I normally drink with OJ, and like a V-8 juice. And u can almost not taste anything! I love it. That's the only thing I've used for protein. They also hve a strawberry sorbet that is pretty good also. I also have some chocolate Splenda that I haven't tried that u mix with milk, but I do the unflavored every day sometimes twice a day. Oh btw sugar free Popsicles are the best when just gettin started. Makes u feel a little normal. Congrats!! Ask me anything at anytime!! :-)

Wow 30 pounds in 2 months is great!!! Keep up the great work! Thanks, I'll check out unjury.com today because I really want to make sure I get in my Protein. Well after Wednesday I can start pureed foods so did you mix protein with your pureed food? Yes, I was so happy when I found out about sugar free popsicles. They've been my saving grace - Lol. Have you been to any support group meetings in Durham? If so, when & where are they held? I had my surgery done in Cary but I don't really want to drive there for meetings.

Yes! U can mix the Protein with ur purée foods you just want to make sure that when u mix them the food temp is not more than 160 degrees or it won't mix well. I have not been to a group yet, but I know that there is on in Durham, u can check the website for duke.com I think and they will let u know the day and time, but I think it's only one day a month. Good luck with the purée foods!! Enjoy!

      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! 😞
