I have been on humira and methotrexate for psoriatic arthritis and during EGD he saw inflammation from meds. He wanted to give it a little more time to clear inflammation and meds clear my system and also let my immune system build a little more from being suppressed from the shots. Still a GO but just get my Christmas present a tad later instead of earlier. Atleast I know he is looking out for me. Some other surgeon may have just went on with it. I trust him 100%.

Understandable!! That's awesome, it's hard to wait but we all need to have it done at the right time.

Hey everyone,

I am so excited to get going on this weight loss journey. I feel like I have tried so many other things but with this I feel I can have long term success! I got a bug to get it done and had my first doctor appt. Oct. 17th and it felt like it took forever to get scheduled but it really wasn't very long I guess. I am anxious to get it over with.

Scared of pain, wondering what I will eat. Anyone have any favorite Protein powders? I hear they will be my friend. The only ones I tried in the past were yucky! What about shakes? I like Optifast but they are pricey. Any decent ones out there?

Hoping for some buddies to go through this with me!

Chris.

Hi Chris! My date is going to be around the middle of December too. I haven't really tried Protein powders, but what I do like so far is this (carried at Costco):

They have 10g of protein each and taste really good, like chocolate milk. I've tried Premiere Protein (30 g per shake), but it's disgusting and lumpy by itself; it's only tolerable when I put it in a blender with some milk and Splenda....

Thanks for the info Skywalker. I don't like Premier Protein either. Optifast tastes pretty good but you can only get it at a weight loss center and it's pricey. Probably has a lot of sugar in in. I do have a have a costco card so I might give those a try.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
