Hello April buddies! I’m planning on having gastric bypass. haven’t had my surgery date scheduled yet, but am hoping for an April date. I’ve done all the labs, tests, psych evaluation and two nutrition visits. Last things on my list are EGD and 3rd nutrition visit before sending off for approval.

Throughout the process, I’ve been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, insulin resistance and hypertension. These are all issues I was fairly aware of and just kept putting off testing until this year. Hope everyone has a smooth journey!

I just bought fair life Protein Shakes to try one of each and I also bought the elite core which has 42 g of Protein but 11 g of carbs going to try those this week, I also bought the protein Water, don’t know if I will like them I’m not a big fan of flavored water, so we’ll see!

Where’d you find the fair life Protein Shakes? I’d like to buy some .
I found them at BJ's warehouse the other day. Didn't buy them but it was under $20 for a pack of 12 (don't remember cost exactly). It's about the same as Premier Protein at $18 for 12.

I am going to ask if I can buy my own shakes but on the papers it says that everyone goes on Bariatric Advantage for 2 weeks before:( I do hope that I can buy my own but I am not holding breath on it.. I will have to adjust and figure it out for 2 weeks one way or another. I just think this will be the hardest part for me..

Hey... I’m hoping for an April date but I won’t know until another week or so. I’m so excited, anxious, & ready to take this new step. Finding this forum is the best. I’ve read so much and learned so much.

      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
