Just got my surgery date. I will have surgery on March 17th! Excited and Nervous!!! Still have to lose 14 pounds or surgery will be postponed. Optimistic!

I am scheduled for march 10th! I have been working on getting in the habit of exercising. The Protein I have found that I really like is Premier Protein that you get at costco. It has 1g of sugar and 30g of protein.

I'm on March 3rd!! I think I'm going to try iso-pure sometime soon because it has so much protein in it. I'm worried about how to get enough protein in since you can't eat or drink a whole lot at at time.

I am scheduled for March 11th!! I'm going to start my pre-op diet on Monday. So far I've only tried Premier Protein from Costco. I'll be trying to get some samples and see what's out there! Exciting!

Have anyone tried EAS AdvantEdge from Wal-Mart?

This is the protein shake that I am using. I like it because it's not thick. I got the chocolate fudge, French vanilla and the strawberry. I've only tried the chocolate fudge so far.

Had my last appointment on Friday. All requirements have been met. They will submit my chart to Aetna on Monday! I'm so excited. It's doubtful I'll get scheduled before the end of the month so hoping and praying I'll get set up for early March. I'm ready!

Tried the Muscle Milk 100 Ready Made Shake and it wasn't bad at all. Tastes like Nestle Quick. Blended with ice and a cup of HEB Mootopia (okayed by my dietician) and it kept me full. Going to try the strawberry today.

I am March 13 also...when do you start your liquid diet

Hi.. My surgery us scheduled for March 20th.. In Boston.. I cannot wait !

Surgery date set for March 31st with Dr. Carbera in TJ, Mexico. I'm all ball of emotions right now -- excited, nervous. I am just ready to get started!! I start my pre-op diet on March 10th. I have purchased some Premier Protein shakes at Sam's Club, so I am going to try those. I am getting geared up for my "last supper".. haha.

Hi everyone, I find out next Tuesday when exactly in March my date is. I'm excited but nervous! Right now I am drinking the Premier Protein shakes from Costco. I haven't tried anything else tbh. I still need to stock up on chewable vitamins too. I've slowly weaned myself off of fast food and sweets, as well as soda. My body doesn't adjust well to cold-turkey!

Hi everyone im also having my sleeve done in March, March 28 im so excited! Having it done in Tijuana Mexico with Dr.Ortiz from A Lighter Me... My sister is about a year out and has lost 91 pounds. Best protien shakes at GNC.

Ok, Had my stress test this afternoon and if results go well and I am cleared surgury will be March4, 2014!!! So excited!
