Hi everyone. You have all been so helpful, thanks so much! I am in Montreal right now & tomorrow is my surgery. Pretty nervous. So afraid of failing as I have failed so many diets. Dr Gagner has been very thorough. I am not afraid for the surgery, because of his thoroughness in regards to all my allergies. I won't be able to take anything stronger than Tylenol, once I have surgery done so I hope it's not too painful. Montreal is beautiful. It's right downtown & close to the hospital. So far so good. It's almost 11:30 pm here & even with being awake 4am my time (2 hours or is it 3? Ahead here) I can't sleep. Anxious. They had me go on a 1 day clear liquid diet, that's it. When I got to the hotel, by the way they cover 2 nite sin hotel, one with nurse, they had bottled Water, Jello, Gatorade, & broth all waiting for me. Very nice. Felt very well taken care of. Can hardly wait to meet my team tomorrow. I did have problems trying to find a low cal, low sugar high Protein shake/drink that I don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage for, lol. Bought the Atkins though, which is affordable but not very high protein-wise. Perhaps I am reaching to high for protein content? I'll figure it out. Wish me luck & pray everything works out! Will let everyone know how I do, which is hopefully very well. Hope I succeed at losing weight & not failing this time. Talk to you all soon & again, thanks for all your comments!! Sure helped me out!

Good luck! It will go fine. He's a great Dr.

I liked vanilla vega Protein. It's the Protein and greens not vega one. I think they discontinued it but it's still available at costco. I mixed it with unsweetened chocolate almond milk.

      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! 😞
