I purchased the New Whey but I have not used it. I got it as an emergency if I had trouble getting enough Protein in. It is not a high quality protein so I would avoid it except for emergencies

I feel nervous too good luck wating for mine on July 29

I'm nervous too!! I go the 29th as well. Today I had a stress test (omg big girl on a tread mill - only lasted 5 minutes before my heart rate was target at 180). Cardiologist just called- normal yay!! And insurance finally authorized me! Double yay! Now just drinking fluids until I pop!
I'm glad your cardiology test came out normal. I'm super nervous but I'm trying to think positive ????

Hi everyone, I'm 3 days post op and feeling great! Finally feel like I got rid of all that air...I'm on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks. I'm curious as to why we are not supposed to have Protein Drinks ex. (premier protein) I had 2 shoot glasses yesterday and 2 today and it really tastes so good to me. I'm doing better than I expected as far as not feeling hungry. My doctor didn't have me on a pre-op diet. I would love any suggestion/ explanation of the clear liquid phase. 2 weeks seems like a lifetime on broth.

I am waiting for surgery date so as I have cooked I have saved the broth off peas, Beans and freezing and planning on adding Protein power when I ever get to start pre diet

Congratulations to all of us 'Julyer's' who have had the surgery and starting our journey to better health.

Also congratulations to those who are about to embark on surgery and speedy recovery! I am now 5 days out and feeling good.

Only thing is I am very tired and sleep a lot, so apologies if I have missed someones surgery recently. I am sure I will be more 'with it' in a few days and will make up for it then! lol

Gentle Hugs

Kate

Today is the day!!!

It is 515am pacific time. Getting ready to hop in the car with my parents on our way to Kaiser - Fremont, Ca.

Of course, I'm nervous, but I know I've been doing "my job" and have the support of my surgeon and the bariatric team. If they didn't think I was 100% ready, then I wouldn't be scheduled today.

So, here is a hearty congratulations to all the previous sleevers and good luck to everyone to come!!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
