No totally not weird. I am big on teeth too, I can't date someone who has horrible nasty teeth specially if they are missing some where you can see?

They are having me drink boost, but if we find alternatives that are equivalent in nutrition facts then they are ok. You are wanting a Meal Replacement drink for the pre op diet not just a Protein shake.. Ask your doc if there are alternatives?

I found my favorite strawberry and Cream from costco, it's Premier Protein shakes. But it's thinner then most pre made drinks I've tried... Well stocked up on protein! Hoping not to lose lots of hair!

Hey Shannon, you want something that is even better for your hair? I am a distributor for itworks global, and my website is www.tightenwithtinapolley.myitworks.com and there is a product on there that is amazing for your hair but also your skin and nails it's called Hair skin and nails. I also have other products on there that are great for other things like there is body wraps so when your losing the weight you can use these to help tighten and tone your skin so you don't have so much loose skin, they have an energy drink that helps you get all your vegetables for a day in one 8 oz glass of Water. Thing with all these products is that they are all natural too. Check out my website and if you have any questions email me, I will help in anything I can. Thanks and good luck!!!

yeah they are great products and i plan to add them to my post surgery use. I know it's going to be hard to get all my Vitamins in during the day due to the amount I will be able to eat so i figure this will be the best way and as for the other products I fully plan to use the wraps as I lose the weight it will help tighten the extra skin and then also some of the other products. I know a friend of mine that used the hair skin and nails and in 2 weeks her hair grew like 2 inches. its amazing that is why I plan to use it cause I just cut my hair really short and I like it but really miss my long hair so I am going to let it grow out and so I figure if I use that then it will help, I have used Biotin in the past and it didn't help that much? So we will see!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
