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!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
