I have heard that the fusion Vitamins are great and can be bought on line. I have also heard the Syntex Protein powder taste pretty good

So is everyone near goal?

[tls1210 25]

I'm 2 pounds further than goal and still have 6 weeks until I am 1 year out. I'm very pleased.

I am 3 pounds below my personal goal of 150 and 7 pounds from my surgeons goal of 140. I think i might make it there by my first surgiversary.

I'm still 50 pounds from my goal, but I also started at almost 400 pounds the day of surgery. Down 168 since surgery August 17th.

Every doctor is different. It has been my experience that they pre-or diet is a.) to help you lose some weight before surgery and/or b.) to clear your stomach and gut of any food that may be left in there before surgery. It wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor why he/she hasn't suggested this. When is your surgery? Maybe you are still to far out before surgery they will discuss this with you as you near your surgery date.

On another note, congrats on your upcoming surgery. Its completely life changing! Good luck and keep us all posted.
