oh wow.. maybe i need to try that one.. is it expensive? Where do you find it at?

I haven't tried that one yet.. but my nut told me that it had to have at least 20gms of protein no more than 10 carbs and no more than 5 gm from fat.. the only protein shake that i found to fit this criteria so far is the "pure protein" and it doesn't taste bad at all... but i'm a newbie too so let me know if there is something i don't know..

i did they found a small hernia and also several small ulcers... but he didn't postpone my surgery he said he would repair it during and i've been taking meds to heal the ulcers. my surgery is the 18th.

Congratulations. I also have a hernia to be repaired during surgery so i will be following your foot steps soon.. hope you are doing well.. keep us updated!

i suffer from depression and anxiety and was honest with my surgeon about this, i am a little worried about becoming depressed also after surgery.. but i figure it can't be any worse than hating my self into depression to begin with. I am keeping close wraps on my phychiatrist and therefore if i have problems we will address them at that time. I hope everything works out for you. Pray about it, if it is good for you and God's will then it will come to pass!

good luck bonita i'm right behind you...18th

Mine is 18th also n yes I feel the same

Check out my update on youtube channel "karishero"... more coming soon!! thanks for the support

I saw two n for the most part they educate u on what u will need to eat after surgery

Well it's official. My sleeve date is Feb 18th at Baylor Trophy Club in Fort Worth,TX. I am beginning my liquid diet tomorrow and praying for strength and discipline during the next two weeks. I know once i'm on the looser side hunger won't be such an issue. Giving up soda's, cigs and food .. just hoping i don't hurt nobody!!! Thanks for all of your support I am so excited to see the change-mentally and physically!

How much weight did u looses on ur preop

From my experience slow ur soda intake if u drink them. Also decrease ur portions to saucer size n u wont b so hungry. Also start trying crystal light n SF koolaid n such so u know what u like. Protein shakes too..

we can do quac?

This is my show.... I love it and also saw Warm Bodies... it was cute, could have been funnier.

so the carbs in the mash potatoes are ok for us?

OMG I give props to all the veterans on this site.... I am day 3 preop diet and there is nothing easy about this whole process. I haven't even had surgery yet and I'm overwhelmed. I had to give up soda food and cigarettes all in one day.. I am doing better than I thought I would but surprisingly the hardest thing hasn't been the sodas or the food...it's the cigarettes. I can't figure out what to do in the car, house or the club... too much free time with my hands now. Tried the vaper e-cig and I didn't like it at all. Went today for my edg (endoclostomy) and they found a small hernia and several ulcers. I wasn't surprised by the hernia bcz I been having reflux but the ulcers did catch me off guard. Tomorrow is the last of all the preop test I have to do the blood work and then nothing left but surgery! Excited and actually surprising myself at how I've been able to stick with the liquid diet so far. I really want to prove to myself that I can do this. I already experience the awkwardness that I have read about on here when others are eating and you can't. I guess it's even harder for me because I don't have to eat but i'm used to smoking and now I have no vise. I already feel like a different person..

@Susie where u hvng surgery

Good luck and God Bless..

Mine too around the 22nd who ur doctor

Thanks for all the replies it makes me better..yes I get told that my 24 yr old son looks like he could b my man too..hopefully it stays that way..lol

Just got the call that I'm approved and I found myself having a little talk with myself. "You better not screw this up" "You better be serious about making this change" "You are doing this for you who cares what everyone else thinks".. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.. just waiting for surgery date and pre op instructions now.. anyone else have this conversation with yourself before or did i accidentally pass the phych test and i'm really CRAZY? LOL

I had to wait for my enrollment to come up to so that i could change my insurance now i'm just waiting for surgery date. we will do just fine.. good luck

Congrats! Looking forward to being on the losers bench with ya.. Surgery date pending (feb)
