    Proteinex?

    I have Protenix. My surgeon requires we buy it Atleast the first 3 months of surgery. He sells it right in the office. It's horrible tasting but doable. I take 2 TS 4 times a day and it gives 68grams of protein.
  2. I'm 3 days post opp and I probably made a huge mistake getting on the scale today. I haven't lost 1 pound!!! My biggest fear before doing this was that I would be the exception and that I wouldn't loss weight..... That thought immediately kicked in and now I'm a ball of tears. Did anyone notice weight loss so soon after surgery?
  3. very good to know. I'm kind of cheered up now. Ortega07, next week I will definitely be here for you. We all need it. At times it's hard to speak to friends and family about what you are feeling because as non food addicts, or just naturally thin, it's hard to relate.
  4. Wow! Thank you so much for the post. I really needed to hear that. Ill give it time. Need to hide the scale lol
  5. Thank you all for the encouragement. It's just so hard to think you went through this and nothing. :-( but I know you guys are probably right
  6. I was sleeved on the 19th. Still in hospital right now. For how long were you on the pre-op? What phase are you in now?
  7. I am having surgery tomorrow and have been excited up till today. Now I am soooo scared! I am mostly scared of being the "exception" and not losing weight. I am 4'9, 219. Lost just 5 pounds on the pre-op diet ( but it was just 5days long) so weighted 224 last Thursday and I feel as if I should be weighing less. Overall I am so ready for this weight to come off. I am way too short for this!
  8. Surgery is tomorrow and I so glad to have read all these post about walking. I am promising to myself no matter how much pain I'm in or weak I am I will walk walk walk as soon as I get clearance to do so. Need to keep in mind that's the only way I will feel better.

    Tomorrow

    Mine is also tomorrow! Can't weight!!!! I actually have the same questions as you do. Mostly scared I'm the exception and won't lose weight.
  10. Thanks to both! I know men loose faster then women so I'm thinking I should weigh myself weekly oppose to daily. I don't want to get depressed if I don't lose one day.
