4 lbs away from presurgery goal weight



Recommended Posts

On my 90-day medically supervised diet required by Medicare. Have 2nd weigh-in Feb 17. My goal weight before last weigh-in is 229. This AM my weight is 233 Will likely get below 229 a month early. Getting excited about having gastric sleeve surgery.

I will be 67 in March and have 5 comorbidities. My BMI is 45. My PCP told me in December I was now pre-diabetic. That made my decision for WLS immediately. Already have PCP approval and Psych Eval.

I drink one Premier Protein to replace a meal each day. Really like Caramel flavor and will likely continue this plan for several months after surgery. Just discovered Sam's Club has 12-pack for $17.79 which is huge savings. So immediately bought membership for $45 and ordered two 12-packs for store pickup tomorrow.

So if any of you have a Sam's Club nearby and drink Premeir Protein, check it out.

I'm almost 67 and had a sleeve 8 weeks ago. I'm down almost 45 lbs and very happy I had this done. We 're never too old for good health and better self-esteem.

If you drink coffee the Caramel and the Cafe Latte flavors are great additions as a Protein rich substitute for half and half or cream.

Just checked out Premier Protein online.. I really with I lived in the states right about now. We don't have much of a variety in Denmark and importing fees are ridiculous. 🤬

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
