I will be thinking about you and wishing you a fast and painfree surgery and recovery! What a great way to start a new year! I liked the ZeroCarb Isopure and the Unjury post op. They mix well and taste pretty good. Now I just pick up a Protein Powder at Walmart or HEB, whatever one has the lowest suger.....I think it is Body Fortress whey Protein I get. I am not a Breakfast eater and still drink a Protein Drink for breakfast, but dont worry too much about the quality of it since my real protein and nutrients come from food now.

I don't know much about Protein Drinks yet, but I wish you all the best and I hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow.

I agree fully with Lianna---I used Zero Carb Isopure, and Unjury. I got the ZC Isopure at GNC, and ordered the Unjury at www.unjury.com . They have small sample packs you can buy before buying the large containers. I really liked the chocolate, but mostly used the unflavored with other flavor agents, like SF, FF pudding mixed in, or DaVinci SF syrups. Plus with the unflavored you can add it to anything as you progress with your foods, if you feel you need a Protein increase.

Good Luck to you---I hope the surgery and recovery are smooth sailing!!! Come back an let us know how it went!

Welcome to LBT!

I hope all goes just perfect for you tommorrow, and congratulations on taking hold of your life, and making it what you want it to be. It is amazing to me to have learned that as a large person, everyone seems to just expect you not to succeed at your goals, but they think that if you are slim that you can do anything(my personal life observation) that you set out to do. Well, this is so different, you choose to change you life as a large person, and you are not accomplished at it until you are a smaller person,,,,,,,,,, it really messes people up in their perception of what we can do if we want it bad enough. Just for a test, as you lose weight, pay attention to how people approach you, listen to you, and respond to what you have to say. It is really an eye opener, or it was for me.

After you have gone through the three day WHAT HAVE I DONE phase you will start on the best journey you can ever take, the road to health!!!!

Again, good luck, take your pain meds, and welcome to bandsville!!!!!

I'm very glad your surgery went well and I too hope we can start a support group in the Katy area since driving to the Galleria via 1-10 is a nightmare.:)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
