Stephanie I am so worried about the liquid dirt because I hate Protein drinks lol. I'm trying a lot if different ones like vanilla and strawberry. Are you nervous?

Not really.....I am at peace with my decision to have the surgery. I am nervous about the liquid diet though! Lol 2 wks ughhhh! Lol I'm also trying a lot is different shakes. I like the Syntax nectar Protein bcuz they have sweet and fruit flavors and also unflavored Protein.< /p>

Pre-op diet it will be Boost and Atkins shakes for me. What is your pre-op diet like and how long is yours ?

Hello everyone

How are you guys doing? I'm excited, scared, nervous, worried & anxious for my surgery on May 19, 2014!!! Of course I'm counting down the days. Is anybody getting or already got the Insure Nutrition supplements that were covered by some insurances? And if so when? How far ahead are you guys putting in your claim?

I too am May 19th..

dear ones,

yes, had my wonderful surg. on the fifteenth...three days in hosp., then home to motel. suppose to stay in anchorage until 26th...800 mile round trip from home. I am doing great and husband being super great to me. only new words of wisdom I didn't see in all my research are...buy lots of disposable bed pads!!! would have made life so much easier. GLAD I had the surg. a fun thing...I had unexpected paranoia...probably from the narcotics...I thought the hospital was running a drug ring and was going to be raided by police that day. whew!!! happy when that was over.

blessings,

Karen in the woods of Alaska getting ready to Celebrate my 73rd birthday on the 29th of this month

Hi everyone, my surgery is scheduled May 8th. I got my Protein Shakes today Bariatric Advantage.....YUCK. But I'll make it work, I got one chocolate & one vanilla. I did my fast track appointments today so I did my psych consult, nutrition consult and fit consult all done now. I only had to do one support group.... I'm getting really nervous but excited. I start the shakes Thursday, anyone else scheduled for the 8th? This forum has been so helpful I hope I can find a buddy!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
