Surgery date 7/2/20 8 days before my birthday! On day 4 of my liquid diet and feeling exhausted!!!

Mine's right before my birthday, too! Looks like several of us with July birthdays are getting WLS for our birthdays this year.

Looks that way. What a wonderful gift to give oneself. The gift of a second chance at life!

So I am using premier shakes. And Premier Protein Water. I am also sipping Bone Broth. The shakes are good especially the apple cinnamon and oats flavor, my saving grace.

Premiere makes apple cinnamon and oats flavored shakes?!!!?? ?. Where’d you find those flavors? I’ve only had the cookies and cream, cafe latte, bananas, peaches, strawberries and cream and the caramel flavors. I only like the chocolate and vanilla from Core Protein by Fairlife.

Hi all ! I had my gastric bypass on 6/3/2020. I had a roughy first week with pain and a horrible skin reaction to the chlorhexidrine used in surgery prep. After that things Went really well except yesterday when I tried canned chicken, one bite chewed well. I had horrible chest pain. It finally subsided but I still have a bit of chest pain today. I went back on full liquids for 24 hours. Hope things are better tomorrow.

I’m glad to have found others who are the same stage as I am.

They have them on Amazon, also blueberries and cream which is my favorite so far ❤️ they have a little less protein than the regular shakes (20g vs 30g) but I feel like it's worth it for how good they are.

It's so nice to get hints and tips on here. I know if it wasn't for this site I might not be making this huge step for a better life !

Lady Zae I’m having my VGS on 7/2/2020 too! I’m getting nervous but also getting prepared. I just ordered a number of things from Amazon today. I have my preop labs drawn tomorrow morning.

It's a whole lot better today, don't feel the flu symptoms as much, but I think it's gonna be a long 2 weeks . But totally worth it in the end No pain since I don't have my VGS surgery till July 4th, who knows maybe I'll get lucky and I won't feel any pain then too. lol.
