I'm July 8th! I'm still trying to figure out what exactly to pack. -
My surgery is July 8th too! As for the pre-op diet, this was something that I was told to do.

July 8 Roll Call
Rachel replied to Slave to Senor Sleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm excited! The "OMG what am I thinking" feeling hasn't set in. I'm not having any food funerals right now. I had my food funerals before I started my insurance diet and now I'm good in that department. -
I'm July 8th too!

I'm doing pretty good. Actually, I'm on top of the moon right now because I got a surgery date yesterday of July 8th. That's a lot sooner than I expected but I jumped on it because I am so ready for the new me.

I'm not from Boston, but I am from the suburbs of Boston. I'm going to have my surgery at Emerson Hospital in Concord with Dr. Lautz.

Yay! We're having our surgeries on the same day!

I got my date today! It's July 8th! I'm a little anxious because my surgeon likes a 2 week pre-op diet but the date is less than 2 weeks away! I started the diet tonight. I happened to have a support group meeting tonight and my dietitian was there and I talked to her about it; she said it would be okay.

I haven't heard great things about the band. With the band, you're still hungry all the time. With the sleeve, when they cut out most of the stomach, a lot of the hunger hormone is gone too so you aren't really hungry. With the band, the weight loss isn't as much. Another thing is the band can slip and also the band can erode into your stomach.

Congratulations!!!!! -
I don't smoke, but my doctor said in the free information session that he absolutely will not operate on a smoker because smoking greatly increases the risk of ulcers. Also, he didn't see the point of treating the number two killer in America if you still engage in the number one killer.

Where do I get a shaker for making protein shakes? At home I use the blender, but I'm thinking that I'll need a shaker for when I'm out and about.

Any Gummy multi-Vitamins that work?
Rachel replied to punzel426's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
My nutritionist said that gummies aren't good because they take a lot of the minerals out of the vitamins when they make the gummies for taste.
