Hi my name is Rebecca and I'm getting VSG on March 10th

I am getting excited and nervous as March 10th gets closer and closer. I've lost 28 lbs so far (Since January 16) and have about 2.5 more weeks of liquids before surgery. I'm drinking New whey Protein bullets (mixed with about 20 oz of Water. I like the fruit punch and "blue" raspberry. None of the New Whey Proteins end up the color you'd think they'd be. :) I also drink some ensure and Soups. I am 37 years old, 5'10" starting weight was 378 current weight (depending on the scale is between 345-350).

I am so busy I forget to drink at work so I don't get enough calories or positron but so far so good otherwise. I'm using new whey protein bullets mixed with water, ensure high protein, hot tea, and occasionally fruit juice ... bariatric choice has a good raspberry hot cocoa protein drink that's pretty good too

I'm getting my sleeve on March 5th so it sounds like we are in this around the same time! Let's stay in touch :)

I agree let's all try a d keep in touch! It would be nice to have the added support
