I have to do 3 weeks pre-Op and Im scared because I HATE protein shakes! My Doctor uses OptiFast and Bari-Essentials. Has anyone tried those? Which one is better tasting? I gag when I drink protein shakes so I have no idea how I'm going to make it thru three weeks, plus Post Op diet. Any recommendations on how to keep these down and make them palatable?

Well, I had my doctor appointment and we agreed that the sleeve is for me. Now I just need to arrange a date for the surgery. I'm not going thru insurance so it won't be as long of a process. I'm ready to start working on the new me!

I'll show you mine... (LBD's)
JLOR replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I don't think that is crazy at all. I'm still pre-Op and think that a LBD in a smaller size would be a great inspiration! Especially after seeing how these gals look! Congratulations...and here's me going shopping...lol -
Calling All Dfw And Surrounding Area Sleevers!
JLOR replied to tonibugg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks for the referrals! I am going to see two doctors today, and I will add Dr Cribbins in as well. So...when are we all meeting for brunch/lunch/dinner? If your in McKinney and live close to me, I would love a workout buddy! I exercise early in the morning before work if anyone is interested. So far I'm just walking with a little bit of jogging thrown in. But I'm at 5 days a week for an hour. -
Any Ladies At 5'5"? What's Your Story?
JLOR replied to jhansen71's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I too am 5'5" and am considering surgery. I'm currently at 195 and would love to be at 150...135...heck why not dream about 125. lol Seriously though if I was 150 I would be happy. Today, I exercise 5 times a week walking/jogging for an hour, but I am not doing well with dieting, so the weight stays on. I go today for my first appointment. So we shall see! -
Thanks everyone for the support! I really needed it. I have my first Doctor appointment today, and I'm excited! Pia, good questions. I'll be curious to see the answers. I know for me, I was concerned about altering my body that much and what later side effects could come from malabsorption, but on the flip side I worry about the sleeve not being enough to keep my weight down permanently.

Hi all! I am just starting the search for Doctors and considering Sleeve, so would love to join a support group! I also live in McKinney. -
Thank you everyone for your replies. I know in my heart this is the right decision, and I'm so glad to hear that even those who have been through this would still do it again. Thanks for all the support!
