@@paramedic thanks for the tip! Do you put the protein powder in before or after microwaving? I haven't put protein in it bc I heard it gets weird when it's heated up. I did get some plain kefir and put some of that in instead of milk with a touch of cinnamon and honey and it was slamming (lol never thought I would put cream of wheat and slamming in the same sentence [emoji16]) I figured the kefir would bump up the protein a little more.

October 21 here.

Always after you cook and let it cool to below 140.... I just made a killer smoothie- I never had them or like them - ok try this - 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of 1% milk, small can crushed pineapple, 1/2 banana a few ice cubes.... out in blender. Then add a scoop of vanilla protein. Blend quickly and add 2 Splenda packs - eat and wow killer

Two days post op and I'm feeling pretty great. Some soreness yesterday on two of the incision sites but I really didn't even feel the others. If you are about to get this done don't be scared it is not bad at all! The pain is so manageable! I'm very excited to be on the losers bench

I found out Monday that I was approved by insurance to have the sleeve!!! Tuesday, I found out that I will be having surgery on HALLOWEEN!!!! Today, I went to the hospital for my pre-op appointment and sign a bunch of paperwork.......now.......the wait begins!! 12 days and counting! This coming Monday on the 24th I will start my pre surgery diet of nothing but Clear liquids for a week. This is the part I am the most nervous about, but I know I can make it through. Keep your eye on the prize.....right? lol Its been a long but short 6 months of working towards this goal and soon I will get to make a new goal. I hope to lose maybe 10 lbs before I go in for surgery. 12 days.....just 12 days......

I have 7 more day till my surgery 10/26! I'm still in disbelieve because I had two cancellation a week before surgery. I guess it will all hit the day of.

What Vitamins are you all taking?

I'm in California and scheduled for the 20th

At the hospital they were giving me like gas drops for infants from the beginning and I really didnt have a whole lot of gas pain, Maybe try and see if that helps?
