I'm so sorry to hear you are having so much trouble. I have not had any issues with protein, since I have not had surgery yet. I use a flavorless protein powder called genepro. It actually is tasteless. I blend it with my hot herbal tea and almond milk in the morning. Maybe it could work for you. I bought mine on Amazon and got it same day, since I have prime. I hope the Dr figures out what's going on and can help you.

I'm so happy for you. Your surgery date came so quick after your approval. I look forward to hearing more about your recovery.

So glad you're recovery is going well, minus being awaken at 1am. I'm sure your sleep will improve once you are home.

So glad you're doing well.

I'm so happy for you!

It us just around the corner. It'll be great to have the weekend to prepare before your surgery.

Congratulations! It sounds like you're having a great start and you have amazing support. Thank you for the update.

I would just check the health coverage you will have after surgery. It can be more limiting and require more deductibles and that could cause financial difficulties if you are not prepared for it. Good luck on making the right choice for you! Sent from my SM-T818T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I know you will, you are an awesome supporter already on this forum. I have started to settle down and just focus on one day at a time. I was so anxious to get to the 21st, that it consumed my thoughts. At this point, I just want to enjoy the journey before, during, and after my surgery.

Thank you and the same to you!

Thank you! This forum is so different from FB. I'm so glad I am a part of it. I can't believe our dates are coming up so soon. I am trying to just take it one day at time so I do not over think the process. To be honest, my biggest concern is if and when to tell my extended family.

My nutritionist suggested this book for all the bariatric patients and I bought it on Amazon.

Not yet...I have my surgery on 12/21. I'm living vicariously through everyone else until it is my turn. I am learning so much by being on this forum. So many questions I had are being answered. The support is amazing!

I'm so sorry it is so tough on you. I'm glad you are able to focus on why you are doing this, so the time will hopefully move faster.

Welcome...how are you doing?

Awesome!

How are you feeling after surgery?

My lapband was removed in April and I am getting the gastric bypass on 12/21. I ended up with reflux and a small hernia from the band. I feel better since the removal, but I do not want to risk more issues by getting the sleeve. My bmi is around 39 now, but it was above 40 when I started the process. I am happy with my choice to get revision surgery. I'm getting closer to the date and I have a few nerves like everyone else. I think I would regret backing out at this point in the future, so I'm going to go forward to improve my overall health. Good luck with making your final choice.

Congratulations!

Wow...it sounds like you're doing great! The details you gave have me imaging what it is going to be like for me in the next couple of weeks. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I look forward to hearing about more of your journey. [emoji2] Sent from my SM-T818T using BariatricPal mobile app

Right now...it is ok for you to feel like you are. You had a date and you were ready to go. It is so sad that someone else's mistake can make such an impact on someone else's life. I do not have any miracle words to give you for encouragement (I wish knew what could make a difference and make you feel instantly better). Just know we are here to listen and try the best you can to enjoy the holiday's with family and friends. ((hugs)) Sent from my SM-T818T using BariatricPal mobile app

That's awesome...congratulations!

So sorry to hear about your blurry eyesight...that has to be uncomfortable. I'm glad you will at least be able to be home for a while to recover before going back to work. It is definitely an exciting time. I can't wait to hear about everyone else's experiences as well.

I'm so glad to hear from you. I know you will tell your doctor if you do not feel any better. It's sounds like you are on track with your fluids and protein....that's awesome! Thank you for the update...please stay in contact with us.[emoji4]
