I've been collecting products since before my first appointment 10/30/18; I know that many people caution against buying so much ahead of time, but I like having options and I understand my taste buds may change after surgery. I am using a lot of the products in the two plus months before surgery.

Wow! That's what I call prepared. I found a Protein before surgery I liked and after surgery I can't stand the smell of whey.

They're not kidding when they say your tastes change. I had to take it all to my support group and give it away. Also, Water tasted sweet after I got out of surgery.

Good luck.

Ps tried my favorite drink yesterday from Starbucks and it just doesn't taste the same. Mango dragonfruit.

Oh wow, you are more than ready. The only thing I've purchased so far is a box of Premier Protein shake and box of of Bone Broth Soup. I will do a bigger shopping after my pre op class with the nutritionist. I like the water bottle with the time time and ounces.

That's alot of RTD Protein Drinks and shakes must cost a ton.

I've been buying bulk Protein Powder and bulk Vitamins and finding air tight containers on special whenever I can...

I've been reading everything I can find, here and on Facebook. I know RTD drinks are more expensive but I've always had issues getting the powders to mix properly, I don't have the patience!

I have stocked my freezer with homemade Soups. I froze them at different stages. I kept some as broth, and blended some for puree,and then some as is. I used homemade chicken Soup, and homemade stew. For puree soups, I also made a creamy Tomato and a squash soup. I was going to make pinto Beans and freeze at the different stages, but I've read that beans are not good to have after surgery.

CalGal I'm sure your homemade Soups will be way better than my packaged soups!

      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?
