Hi everyone... I have to confess I've been reading the forum for months but haven't joined... I have a surgery date of 12-10-12 and I'm scared very very scared I'm scared I won't lose enough pre op weight (supposed to lose 37 lbs and so far have gained 3)... Will they cancel my surgery? I have a preop class and appt this thurs the 15th and I'm worried they will postpone me has anyone ever had that happen?

I'm sure what I'm going through is normal I'm just so worried ill never be the same I'm worried about being constantly nauseas and throwing up all the time luckily I have a super supportive wife and a close friend who had her surgery exactly one year before I am and she's my motivation and support I'm just scared and need to talk

Sorry my name is Larry... I just turned 30 in oct I currently weigh 371 lbs and have severe sleep apnea... I have a beautiful 2.5 yr old daughter named Anna she is my world and I'm having surgery so I can be around to walk her down the aisle someday

Hi Larry welcome to the group glad you finally said hi to us ..Not sure if the would cancel or not where i went i don't think they would as far as being scared everyone is i think it is normal i am 2.5 months out and only got sick twice with something that didn't agree with my pouch. Try doing some protein shakes now as meal replacements maybe that will help lose some of the weight they want you to..my name is Don feel free to add me if you would like

Welcome to the group I don't think they will cancel on you.

I'm gonna go to gnc tomorrow night and get some protein I wanna replace a meal or 2 with shakes now so if they put me on the liquid diet it won't be a huge shock to my system... Any recommendations as to which protein I should get?

Welcome and good Idea about starting the shakes, I would say to try to get sample sizes, not big tubs. because if you don't like them you are stuck with and expensive tub of yuck. Everybody seems to like different ones. I would try to get sample sizes of as many as you can. If you have a VItamin Shoppe close to you they have several samples. UNJURY.com sales individual sizes to try out, Good luck and glad you joined in.

I love Syntrax - it’s low in carbs - zero sugar - and mixes easily with Water - flavors like koolaid - I give it two thumbs up.

Some of the flavors are sold in sample packs - try before you buy - AND - try your Vitamin Store - if you have that chain where you live
