Terrified of the procedure itself!

Wow! Great job! I too have no other health issues besides my weight. I am doing this to prevent the inevitable. Great progress. Congrats!

Interesting. I haven't had my sleeve yet but I forsee this same this being a issue for me too. A very good friend of mine who had her sleeve gave me some good advice. She said no matter the obstacle, live in that one moment, that one meal. Its like learning to walk again. One tiny step at a time. Best wishes xx

Preop diet how much weight lost?
LuminousLife replied to Kelsnikol's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What kind of shakes do you use chantel? I use muscle milk but the calcium caseinate led to midnight migraines. I have to cut down to 1 a day, salad and grilled chicken for both lunch and dinner. Water only. -
For the life of me I cannot figure out how to set my profile picture. I am using the mobile app. My apologies if this is in the wrong spot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. xx-Luminous

Preop diet how much weight lost?
LuminousLife replied to Kelsnikol's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wth! Shakes shakes shakes and I've only lost 4 lbs. I need to lose 14 to get my surgery date. Everything else is done. Considering fasting at this point. Or an extreme hair cut -

Oh they don't require that where I go. Although I had one a few years back so maybe that's why I don't need one. Not sure. I have to have an upper GI. Its tomorrow morning. I just have to swallow some goop. Hopefully I get the all clear. At the moment I just need to step away from the cinnamon toast crunch lol -

I have an upper GI and 2 appointments to go. So I'm about 2 months out. However I need to lose 14 total and I'm only down 2.5. I'm down to 2 shakes and meal, nothing more and I workout 45min 5x a week. The scale won't budge. I started this in July but I've been trying to get back in the 220's for 2 years. I don't know what else to do. The pre op weight loss is all that's standing in my way. Congrays on the 15 lost, any tips? -
Calcium Caseinate (a milk derivative)
LuminousLife replied to AmyInOrlando's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Muscle Milk has Casien Protien. I enjoy the muscle milk (I'm still in pre op weight loss 10lbs to go) so I am up to replacing two meals a day muscle milk. Until 3 am Fri night and again sat night I wake up with a ice pick pain on one side of my head. It was brutal. I later learned it was a migraine. I had never had one. Further investigation and it linked to Casien Protein. I'm going to try to go back to one a day. Anyone else experience this? -
