You are going to be so pleased. I'm really shocked on how much I've lost at this point. My doctors office sent me cards to keep in my purse stating that I had gastric bypass surgery and that my stomach only holds 3oz in case I get sick and the doctor office also sent out a card just in case I go to dinner I can order smaller portion off the kids mentioned. This here is a big change for us all. And you really have to have a new way of thinking because this here is really a life style for the better. If you ever need to talk contact me any time because others that haven't had this surgery don't understand and it's not as easy as the may think. We have to eat this way for life I exercise 6 days a week so I can keep it off my 15 minuet work outs for now. I give myself a B12 injection every month for energy this is what my surgeon recommended. Well if you have any question feel free to ask.

No preop other than the day before which means no July 4th cookout 😩 My bday is the 8th so I guess I will just have to Celebrate early. Best birthday present I could ever have!!!!

Have a Happy Birthday and good luck on your surgery. It will all be worth it.

I had my surgery March 30, 2017 but started to hemorrhage April 19, 2017 was strain to use the bathroom made my own self sick. But I'm 11 weeks out and loss 52 lb I plan on losing an 100 pounds by the time I go see my doctor in the next 2 months. This surgery was the best think I could have ever done. There is a site if you have blue cross blue shield that you can get free Protein Drinks and free lotion for your skin. It is insurenutrition.com you just have to have surgery date the will not except any federal are state programs so that left me out but will be researching for other. Lady good luck you will all do great. Also there is another program if your having a hard time getting your surgery paid for it is called Weight loss Surgery Foundation of America they will pay for weight loss and plastic surgery when you need the excess skin remove they except application from January until June 30 of every year

Great information, thank you

Lady I love ice coffee so I decide to make my on and it came out so good. I make folders coffee but you can use any kind. I use a whole Premier Protein chocolate drink and 1/4 almond milk a teaspoon of raw honey more if you like. Put it n to my Rave canister shake it up. It last for two days and takes craving away. This morning I used a banana Premier Protein Drink haven't taste it yet will let you know how it taste. Have a wonderful day[emoji16]

Hi, I am officially a July sleever, just got the deposit in (I am doing cash pay) and finally sealed my surgery date. July 19th. I have to now get ready for the 2 weeks of Protein Drinks for 2 meals. Right after July 4, if I calculated correctly.

Im trying really hard to notice every bite of food, every automatic thing I take for granted (even today, I popped a sandwich crust from my daughter's lunch box into my mouth... whaaat? Into the trash, not me!

I've been so busy getting all the tests done etc, that only now am I starting to feel fear. But I have a prolactinoma and I will never be normal weight if I don't do this. And I've started to get the high BP and edema and such, Andy I'm old but my kids are young so I have to be healthy for a long time.

Glad to be joining you all.

You guys are right before me. I will be looking for updates. My surgery is Weds.

Is anyone else "eating liberally" prior to starting their pre-op diet?

Or is it just me ?

💁🏻 I'm pretty sure I've gained a few. I'm just eating knowing that I'll never be able to eat like this again UGH!!! It's made me feel bad so I've stared back with a Breakfast Protein Shake and trying to lighten up lunch and dinner. But I'm already trying to plan a big lunch with friends for the day before I go on liquids and planning a huge cookout that night as my "last meal" 😔

Day before me The pre op diet is interesting, I was on the low carb under 800 cal pre op but I swapped to the milk diet , which my dietician said was fine , 3 pints of milk, two diet yogurts, allowed low cal drinks, unlimited coffee and tea, one salt drink. I prefer this than measuring food, and I drank abit of alcohol before the pre op diet, and feel I need a boost to shrink my liver! . Goodluck
