I'm scheduled to get my sleeve in July. Anyone else getting theirs in July too? I'm so nervous.

Where are you buying Bariatric Fusion? The creamsicle flavor sounds good. We have Premier Protein and I prefer the vanilla and strawberries & cream.

They have a website bariatricfusion.com but there's also 3 places around me that sell it. Pine pharmacy is one of them and with my health insurance I had a $250 health benefits card. Pine pharmacy was included so I only paid for a portion of what I bought. I had used some of the money on the card to pay for my son's soccer program.

Surgery Monday! Doing my colon cleanse (that sounds better then the reality lol ) in a couple of hours . then just clear liquids ...getting. Mighty nervous lol just ordered some unjury chicken soup and non flavored , have whey strawberry now for my two weeks of liquids.broth etc so I should b OK. Not looking forward to crushing all my meds ugh!

Prayers for a speedy recovery ????

Keep us posted.

OMG omg I am nervous for u!! I wish u luck and for a quick and (mostly) painless recovery! Please check back in and tell me how things are going. (I don't go until the 29th). I have noticed myself doing "food funerals" but not on purpose. Accidental food funerals - probably self conscious. Like a bagel w cream cheese. And coke (I don't even usually drink coke but now knowing I might not enjoy it- I'm having more of it).

I did that too. I think that's only natural

The thing that kept me from food funerals is this single quote that has become my mantra...

"You will eat again"

I don't have to eat all of the bad stuff now just in case. I just look at it as, well maybe I'll eat it another day after the surgery, we will see. It might not work for everyone but for me the reassurance that I can revisit the decision to eat or not eat a food at a latter date is really helpful.

Me too. I wasn't planning on it, but ended up eating really poorly. I started my pre-op diet early. I am hapy to have some structure and just not feel gross from overeating. The protein drinks are ridiculously gross tho but it'll be worth it!

And yes,that's a great mantra. I will eat it again one day. We aren't breaking up with the food, it's just a well needed break! Some "me" time. Lol

Today starts my pre-op liquid/liver reduction diet. My surgery isJuly 13th so 10 more days! I just hope I can get through this liquid phase!

10 more days yay! What are you planning to drink for liquids? I am also nervous about the liquid phase. My surgery is on the 29th.

I have to do 4 protein shakes a day that I'm mixing with unsweetened almond milk, sugar free clears (popsicles, jello) sugar free gum, fat free broths, 1/2 cup non strachy veggies a day for chewing. I plan to mix them with my broth to make "soup"

Good luck with your surgery!

That's a great idea. Are you hungry so far? What protein powder did you end up getting? I like the synthrax nectar fuzzy navel. I am looking for an unflavored one for soups or jello. Good luck with your surgery too. I may check back in w u post op to see how it went? (If that's ok). I have like no pain tolerance and am quite scared. I've had a c section before wonder if it hurts more, less, or the same with this?

I've had three C-sections and my last one was hard to recover from so I am anxious to go into surgery on Tuesday. I'm praying it will be less painful for sure.

I'm loving unjury and nectar protein powders. Injury has a savory chicken soup flavored one I love. I mix it with broth and heat it up.

l'm So hesitant to try the chicken broth one .

Anyone is Arizona?

Mostly just nervous lol I only have to do two days liquids starting tomorrow. I am originally from upstate NY. When is ur surgery?

Orlando here!

Hi Orlando !

I'm also in Orlando. July 17 and terrified

It's pretty good. I mix it with broth and it doesn't have the protein after taste.

I must be the onky weirdo tgat loves protein shakes and drinks them all the time. They are great for hair growth.

When I wake up in the morning, i start my pre-op. It is only 10 days and i can do 10 days standing on my head. I am worried about the lower energy at first since i have so many errands to run pre-op. I also have hair, nails, a pedicure I need to fit in over the next 10 days.

Mine is on July 14th. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Deep breath. I'm in God's hands and so are you love.
