December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[Under1star 19]

My Official surgery date is December 13 and got confirmation all is good. I was supposed to have it at the end of Jan but I was bumped up which is really exciting. Now I have to start preparing my Protein and liquid diet. Just wondering what Protein Drinks are the best out there?

I hope that I will be a December sleever. My pre op labs showed I have an h pylori infection. Who knew?? Never even heard of it. I was horrified when I read about it and how it spreads. I don't know how I got it or how long I've had it...just know I want it gone. Dr had me give a stool sample to be sure but I'll bet my last Twinkie that I'll have to go on antibiotics for two weeks to get rid of it. Everyone seems to get sick from the meds. Once I am clear from h pylori' date=' I'm ready for surgery. Anyone else have this problem?[/quote']

I have heard about it and its common. Most people don't know they have it. I have stomach issues and actually was hoping I had it so I could have I treated and get rid of the stomach issues! Had a blood test and it was negative. I'm sure that's better. Different treatments for it. I hope yours isn't too rough!

Congrats!! Welcome to our group!

So many opinions on shakes. I hear a lot of people like Premier from costco or Sams, there are "clear" ones from Isopure online. There's a chicken broth flavored one because many cant stand the sweet after surgery.

Apparently if you get them from GNC, they will let you return them if you try them and don't like them.

Alright December Sleevers' date=' I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

I've been sampling since August, and so far Premier is the best I've tasted. Nothing comes close to them. I'm going to stick with them
