My surgery is Monday at 7:30am. I am getting a little anxious and just wish it would be over! I am ready to transform into a beautiful swan! I went to the doctor last Wednesday and of course they scare you to death with all the possible complications. I wanted a Big Mac & Super sized fries to calm my nerves. Instead I ate pickles (they are on my approved pre-op list). I got thru the hump and today spent the day shopping with my Mom (her 65th anniversary was today) who is 88 yrs old and gets around better than I do. One of my listed goals I have for myself, is to lose this weight so that I can get around better and be able to help my parents if they need me. I love them both and they have always been there for me. :)

This may be late in the discussion, but my favorite Protein Powder is Syntrax Nectar. They have a lemon tea one that mixes well with any sugar free lemonade or tea that is my new favorite. I do keep it in a double insulated thermos, because it's coor doesn't make me think tea but it mixes well. They have a great Cookies and cream and Peanut Butter cookie. They are reasonably priced and they have 100 calories, 23 grams of carbs, and 0 fat or carbs. Yummy!!

Vitamin Shoppe or mybariatricpantry

Vitamin shoppe has sample sizes and my bariatric pantry has sampler packs to order. I have only not liked one flavor I tried and it was calypso cooler or something. I mixed it with Water no additional and it was just too weak. Tasted like a pina colaada though so I bet it could be good a little stronger with skin milk and a touch of pineapple juice.

I think I mentioned 23 g Protein and 0 fat.

I really like making shakes and coming up with new combos

      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?
