So I'm drinking these Protein shakes for 2 meals a day and yesterday my stomach was upset all day. This morning (day 3) I can barely stomach the thought of having one for Breakfast. Has anyone else had a problem with the shakes making them sick? I'm drinking a whey isolate shake if that makes a difference.

I like the taste of this one a lot and also it's 30g of Protein and only 1 carb and 1 sugar. So I like everything about it andI'm sorry for the major tmi, but its causing diarrhea. A friend suggested maybe my body is just cleansing itself. Im not sure. I guess ill stick with it and see if it improves in a couple days or ill switch.

An egd is the scope of your upper gi tract. I had one too. It's really nothing. They knock you out and it feels like you wake up a few minutes later. There was no pain or anything other than the air they put in your belly. It's not a big deal at all. You'll be fine!

Good luck! You will do great!

That's a good idea because you're right 5 pounds doesn't seem like much until you feel it and think wow that's not on my body anymore! I told my husband to hide the scale so I would t drive myself crazy weighing every day. Guess he forgot!

Ok so I know it's inaccurate to weigh every day because it fluctuates but after day one of pre op diet I had to see, and I lost 5 freaking pounds! Even if its gonna fluctuate that made me so happy to see its been a while that I haven't been bouncing from 276-280. Now I'm at 269! Woo hoo! Sorry had I share my excitement lol

Does anyone else use this? I've used it in the past but never stuck to it. I really want to keep up with it this time and I think if I have friends on there that will help. If you use it add me, username is callie_henry

I don't know how you guys are doing it with only liquids. Although I will say once my lunch protein shake kicked in I was feeling much better. I want to try doing all liquid one day but I've been moving all day so I need some energy if I'm gonna make it to the gym tonight!

Yea I'm only about half way through day one, staying positive but I'm looking forward to my 3 oz chicken tonight! Lol

I start my pre op diet tomorrow! I'm nervous, I hope I don't get too crazy. I'm so glad I found this forum, you guys are such a great support. I know I'm going to need it!

Good luck tomorrow! You will do great!

I have the same, after everything was submitted it took about a week to be approved, but they will tell you they have up to 30 days to make a decision.

Does anyone have a goal of how much they want to lose on their pre op diet? I know everyone is different and every diet is different. Mine will be protein drinks and one small meal a day. I'm hoping to lose about 10 lbs a week so 20 total. Does this seem like a good goal? Just curious about what others think.

Just think how AMAZING you are going to look on your birthday next year! I know it is hard now but think of all the things you have to look forward to in your future with your new body!

Congrats!! That's so awesome!

May 13. I start my pre op diet Monday. I have already waned my husband and coworkers I will probably be terrible to be around for that time. I don't go to my dr until the 7th and ill try some of his shakes but since ill have a week on my own can anyone recommend any good shakes I could get at the store? Thanks good luck to all!

I just got my surgery date, may 13th! I start my pre op diet this coming Monday. Anyone else having surgery that date? I'm super excited and nervous!

Good luck! I can't wait to find out what my date is! I'm supposed I hear back this week!

That's awesome that you two are doing it together. That will be a great support system. Good luck!

What is everybody most nervous about? I know for me I'm worrying about making it through the 2 week pre op diet, but I know I can do it. I'm mostly scared that I'm gonna go through all this and not lose the weight. I know if I do what I'm supposed to this tool will help me, but there's still that fear of failure.

Yea for my insurance I had to do 3 weight loss meetings, sleep study, which resulted in a Cpap machine, a psych eval, and an upper gi. So I had all that done already and I meet him the 7th. I don't think I should have any issues since I already completed all that. I'm in Webster so I picked him based on location, but my gastroenterologist said she knew him and he was great. I hope everything goes well for you! I'd like to keep in touch about your experience.
