Booyah!!

Booyah!! going in on 2/21/2013

Thats fantastic! I cant wait to hopefully say the same, keep up what ever you are doing. what are you doing for excersize?

Good luck!! I will keep you in my prayers ! God bless

I purchased the Bariatric Advantage protien shakes, from their web site, I also am on my 3 week pre-op diet, my surgeon recommeded this brand and I am pretty good with it. considering I have 5 shakes a day! around 800 calories, I change out the flavor of the water, or iced tea or sf Mio to switch it up a bit. I am on day 6 today. Hope this helps, just keep a variety going or it gets old quick, but still a small sacrafice to the big picture that lies ahead of us. I bought the Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate, Orange Cream, Iced Latte (YUMM!) and banana. Good luck and have a positive day☺

Hello and good luck!, I on day 4 of pre-op shakes, I must say i have not been starving (Yet), I am using the Bariatric Advantage shakes- the iced Latte is superb!! also the orange cream is good. I throw an ounce or two of Diet V8 splash to change them up , and criss cross the two scoop per shake. I have 5 shakes a day and have survived so far. I wish you the best and will follow to see what other suggestions people have too. Have a positvie day

I am curious as to the ratio of post op banders that do require or find it necesary to have and arm lift or tummy tuck. Can you work through it with exercise? Does insurance cover it? Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks

Sounds like you need to find a better support team or even a new Dr. You should be able to contact the office of your Dr. with any questions. Maybe some other Dr. in your area will be able to provide you the support you should have. Good Luck

Thank you all for your kind words, I am very anxious about starting the liquids this Friday, but I plan to keep busy sewing and reading! I understand that the first 4 days are the toughest, I can handle that ☺

Thank you God for giving me the strength to head in this direction! Surgery is scheduled for 2/21 and liquids start this Friday. My husband is a huge support system and will not let me stray. (not that I plan to )☺ I am so excited and so nervous to start this new adventure, and meet my new friend "the lap band" !! My tool, not my quick fix!! All your stories have been so inspiring to me, thank you all and I wish you/me all the success!! Happier Days are coming!!!! ttfn
