Can someone tell me what everyone means by a "nut"?

Nut = nutritionist

I ordered sample from three different links today. Bjsbariatrics.com, chikedutrition.com, unjured.com and then tomorrow I'm ordering starter kit from designerwhey.com. I'm trying all protein samples after sleeve since I heard taste buds change. Hope this help everyone.

Chikenutrition.com sorry auto correct

I've been lurking and figure it's time to get "involved". My surgery is scheduled for Jan. 22nd. I'm on Day 5 of my pre-op liquid diet and it's going ok. The afternoons are the worst. I am feeling all kinds of emotions - excitement, nervousness, anxiety, etc. It

My friends and family have been so supportive. I am looking forward to getting some advice and info from the pros here and being in touch with others on the same timeline as me.

Good luck everyone!

Sitting in the waiting room. Ready to be called back!!! Prayers plz!!

I am scheduled for the 22nd also. I had to do 2 weeks no carbs high protein. That wasn't bad lost 12 lbs. On Saturday I started my clear diet. That has been ok. Drinking none stop. Where are you located? Keep us posted!!!

I'm in Vienna, VA. My surgery is at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington. I wish I had your preop diet. I'm so glad I've only got one more day of liquids.

Where are you located?

I am in Wilkes Barre , PA. Keep me posted on your progress.

Have you tried Pure Protein? The frosty chocolate is really good. Tastes like chocolate ice cream only in liquid form!

To me they have the best protein shakes. I also like the vanilla and cookies and cream.

Today makes two weeks post op for me. I'm down a total of 20 pounds it would have been more but I gained two pounds. The reason I gained is because I am so freaking constipated It should be against the law. I have not had a BM since the day I was released from the hospital which was 01/08/14. I am miserable. I just took a stool softener and about to get me something with fiber in it to make me go more often.

Today's my day! Waiting for my surgeon in the pre-op bay.

Good luck!!! Congratulations! !
