@@lkh1986 my pre-op isnt going well.

my nerves have shot almost everything I have been trying to maintain the past month.

I over indulge in some foods  I am not sleeping well and I am literally making myself sick, causing an empty stomach, causing hunger, causing too my re-feuling causing upset stomach, and the cycle goes around and around.

 

I went online to buy some Protein fruit drink packets and got so overwhelmed with the variety and companies to choose from that I completely shut down.  

 

I am leaving for holidays on Thursday and back on Tuesday.  Tuesday will be the day I turn myself around.  We are out camping in the bush for 5 days so I will be able to re-group myself and calm these nerves.  

Sorry to hear your struggling so much.  There are a lot of options on what to buy.  After reading lots of posts and being in some FB support groups I have kinda went with the majority and I ordered Unjury unflavored protein packets and PB2 powder.  I ordered GENEPRO unflavored protein powered of of Amazon.  I think I would like to try the nectar stuff but I am going to wait a bit.  All these products are so expensive.  I have also been using Premier Protein that you can get from Sams Club or Walmart.  Its a much better deal at Sam's.  Don't beat yourself up.  Do what you can do and if you make a mistake, get back on track again as soon as possible.  Hope  you enjoy your holiday.  Im going on a small get away the last weekend of August myself.  Will be interesting camping/boating with a bunch of people and Im suppose to be only doing shakes and veggies!

Just wanted to say that for all who have chosen Dr Fernando Garcia, excellent choice. He performed my lap band to VSG revision and it was a complication free surgery. You are all in good hands!!

Best wishes!

I am going for a revision, again, with a Bariatric Pal Dr Zavalza and am scheduled for Sept 4th.

best wishes everyone!

I'm flying to San Diego on the 10th. Will be sleeved on the 11th in TJ. Pre-op diet is not easy but I know it's preparing for wonderful successes to come. Good luck to all of you.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
