I'm so excited & I just cannot hide it!!

SO i have around 4 weeks until my surgery date. Does anyone have any tips and pointers... like do i need to purchase anything specific. I know my nut was talking about trying out some different Protein shakes and such but i have yet to do that. Where can I purchase some good trial packets of powders so I can try a bunch of different ones.

I am going to start drinking more Water now to get used to how much i need to intake - and also taking more time to chew my food. I am quick eater and I keep eating until my stomach finally realizes how full I actually am

Anyone else a April 26th sleever?

Thanks all

I'm the 26th as well. See my doc next week for final instructions.

I have my pre-op appointment on the 15th. It's so crazy how quickly everything moves. I have to do a 5 day liquid diet before my surgery.

I was a little discouraged that surgery is the last week of April as opposed to the middle of the month, but looking back, the whole process flew by.

they originally scheduled me for the 13th for surgery but my boss was not having that. She's been kind of difficult. She's telling me that it's not a good time but honestly will it ever be? I have to do this for me and my health and she just needs to understand that.

I have preop the 18th and surgery the 26th! So excited after having to put this all on the backburner due to work/childcare issues for a few months!

I have my pre op on the 4th, surgery on the 18th..... Omg! I cant wait i want it to be tomorrow! Ready to start my new life!

I did my surgeon's pre-op yesterday and hospital registration today!! Sleeve surgery on the 12th!!! I'm getting so excited!! My surgeon's assistant told me that the best Protein drinks you can get for on the go are the Atkin's shakes! They're already made up and they have 1g sugar and 15g protein. I will take those when I travel, but for every day I got 12 oz off brand blender bottles for super cheap on Amazon and one of those formula dispensers for my powder!!

I love lifetime Protein powder, its a bit high in calories if u use 2 full scoops so i do 1 1/2. Also i read that GMC lean powder is good. I like them cuz they dont taste chalky.

Tiff what surgery are u getting done?
