This has been a long, stressful process but getting my surgery date made it all real, that this is finally going to happen! I am super excited and nervous but I welcome it with open arms I can't wait to be on the post op side! Thank god for new beginnings!

Totally agree! Same here !

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!

Me either , I've been taking biotin since June lol my hair has grown so much since . I hope I don't loose much.

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!!!

Thanks Tina I've heard great things about this product . I'll give it a look ! thanks again!

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!!!

The biotin has helped me so far but yes I def plan on using the wraps for skin! My hair is to my booty lol I love my hair !

I had my surgery last monday ...the recovery process is very good but i am tired ....

Scorpio congrats! Is it what you expected? Are you on puree or still on liquids?

Still on liquids i miss the chewing action but so far it feels good

Congrats Scorpio, you can do this, I bet the chewing part is crazy!!! Shannon your hair is your booty thats a good one, i like that!!! Well if you ever want to try it out, check it out!!!

I bet that is tough! Keep me posted Scorpio good luck!
