Rem

2 more days! Good luck!

Out of control!

I was doing so good on my diet with the nutritionist, lost 23 pounds as of 2 weeks ago.. surgery is in 13 days and it seems my appetite is crazy.. I have the feeling Ill be gaining it back by the time surgery is here...

Ugh I guess its Im in the state of mind of thinking well I can just have this one more time.. one more time.. one more time...

HELP!

Have you called yet?

Hope you hear a decision quick!

_{I'm wondering about the 100% fruit juice. My NUT says no to this. What has everyone else heard? Do different NUTs says yes & no?}

In my surgeons book he gave me, it states fruit juice. I just assumed 100%.

What does everyone else think?

Thank you ladies for all your help!

Woohoo..

Also, does anyone get there Protein powder at GNC? I dont order much online and its the only major chain like that around here..

Im having trouble finding the right Protein Powder.

Obviously something high in Protein for not much liquid, and no added sugar.

So im making my list, surgery in 16 days.. OMG

As for food for my first phase of Full liquid I have on my list:

Water

SF Popsicles

FF chicken broth

SF Jello

SF puddings

SF Instant Carnation Breakfast

SF Apple Sauce

Cream Soups (Strained)

100% fruit juice

And of course my Protein Shakes.< /p>

Not really sure what else? Anything else you could help me with, I would appreciate!

My surgeons book has examples and whats allowed and whats not but thats pretty much what I wrote up there.

My surgeon requires to continue the liquid diet 3 weeks after you are released from the hospital, and to not continue on another phase til you are seen by him.

Every doctor is different.

Another day passes... Another day closer to surgery!

Good luck!

Mine is in 20!

My surgeon starts patients on the Actigall post op 3 months I believe.

Im nervous about that too. I hear alot of people need the gallbladder removed after bypass surgery.

I started at 331, I am now 308 and my surgery date is a week and a half after you!

Don't be nervous!

There is nothing to worry about!

I only have to do a liquid diet the day before surgery.. up til that day before I can eat anything.

Have you ever looked into Lifestyle Lift?

I see it all the time, and results look amazing.

Congrats!

My surgeon allows 1 cup of coffee per day, it dehydrates your body. As small as our pouch is, we need all the liquid we can get in to hydrate the body.

The Bariatric Center I goto has their own clothing swap right in the office.. have you checked with the center you went thru?

Good luck!!!

Congrats!!! You are 4 days before me!

One more day gone.

Who is next?? Good luck to all the upcoming Monday people.

Days are moving so slow ever since I found out my date!! Arrrg

Im pretty much in the same boat.. been to apts since August and surgery the 29th, so couple days and 3 weeks and its taking FOREVER.

Hope everything is ok!

I just had that apt the other day!!

Such a great feeling, huh?

Congrats!
