Recommended Posts

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 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 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 hair joined. This is my first post. I have been a lurker. I was just told my sleeve will be within the month. I have a questions what is pre op?

I go on the 7th for blood work and the upper GI endoscope (sp?)

He then said I'll go on one week liquid diet and surgery. Not sure specific date

He said within the next three weeks!

Very fast!

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?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
