Has anyone used isagenix as their protein shake? It's got 24g of undenatured protein, 8g of fibre and 23g vitamins and minerals. I emailed the nutritionist and asked her but she hasn't gotten back up me yet. I start pre op diet next week and stocked up on them. It's the only kind I like.

For those who are eating solids, what are some of your favourite high protein snacks? Do any of you eat a high protein trail mix at all?

I'm loosing it here. My sleeve is booked for next week. I don't know why but tonight I'm so tempted to toss the whole thing out the window. Im thinking things like I haven't had coconut cream pie in 20 yrs and now I may never eat a full slice again. I feel like such a failure letting myself get to this point to have surgery. How do you get over this?

My surgery is mar 27 with dr ponce. Anyone else on that day?? I'm super excited and nervous. This site is the only thing that's keeping me going! I feel I know about the sleeve then anyone just fr reading these posts lol

Hi! I'm in Mexico right now waiting to be sleeved tomorrow. I went through Mexico baratric centre with Cindy. Dr ponce is doing my surgery at int hospital. I'm super nervous and have been having doubts all day. Is there anything you recommend me asking about? Just reading your post is making me want to go home!

My hubby said the same thing .

I've been posting here a lot lately. I leave on Wednesday to fly to Mexico for my sleeve. Every night I have regrets on even starting this process. My husband and sister are very supportive of me having this surgery. I was booked to have a lap band done yrs ago and backed out. For the last 5 yrs all my hubby has been hearing was I wish I wish I wish I had gone through with it. Now this time is here and I'm wanting someone to tell its ok to back out. I'm so afraid. Of everything. I have two babies at home that I'm afraid I won't get back too. I know the chances are slim. But it still scary because they are what I live for. I'm afraid of life afterwards. Having your stomach cut off is a pretty dramatic thing to do too your body. I Don't want to leave my family for 5 days to go to a different country to have this surgery. I wish I knew if I was doing the right thing. I'm afraid if I don't go ill just disappoint everyone again. Ps. My sister is coming with me.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and advice. I'm find during the day and know I can do it. I'm not looking at this as a solution but as a tool to help me. Right now I don't take pics with my kids, don't want to meet new people, and won't even go on a vacation. I know this is the right decision. It's just when the night time comes I'm alone with my thoughts and that's never a good thing haha

I'm not in the US. I'm in Canada. It's $22,000 in Canada! It's not even an option to do it here.

Also when signing up I never realized the amount of work this will take. I'm self pay. So no one tells you the ins and out of the thing. They just keep asking for your deposit and a pic of the money order your going to bring. I'm so emotional drained from reading ppls posts. And the thing is I had no idea the things that consisted in maintaining this lifestyle. The Protein you need, the carbs you don't, tracking, counting. I counted and tracked on weight watchers. That didn't work out so well. I didn't know my hair will fall out!!! I have Alopecia As it is!!!! I don't want more to fall out. I guess I don't this as my emergency way out it as I don't really have medical problems. I know going the way I'm going I will have them. Just had to get some thoughts out :s -confused!

My pre op consists of two shakes a day and a lean protein with salad for dinner. Different for everyone.

Yeah this cleaning thing is getting old.

Started pre op diet today. I'm a stay at home mom so its pretty hard to stay away from food. I'm a huge picker. But I found a solution!!!! House clean! I have done two loads of laundry, cleaned my bathroom and washed down the bathroom walls and the dining room is washed down. And it's not even lunch yet haha. My house will be spotless by my surgery date. Bring it. Pre op diet.

Anything that gets me out of the house today

Tell me about it!!! I had a breakdown last night thinking about never eating a full slice of pie that I haven't had in 20 yrs!!! But someone said think about being satisfied with one mouthful instead of a full slice. We base so much socializing around food. I'm looking forward to being the person not looking for pizza at 12am at game night. It's going to be hard but well worth it in the end.

Found the answer! Which is no lol

The stomach flu has hit my house. Now that my Kids are better its mommys turn. Have been vomiting and have bad nausea since. Can I take gravol??? It's not listen on my instructions. I emailed my dr but its last so probably no answer until tomorrow. I'm dyin here

One week until my surgery

Also I don't start pre op diet until tomorrow. I'm actually pretty lucky because its two shakes and veggies/protein for supper. 3 day liquids 3 days before the surgery. 2 shakes and a meal should be ok, done those many times. That's the story of my life haha.

Thanks everyone! About 6 yrs ago I was scheduled to have a lap band done. Deposit made and everything. But backed out and decides I could do it on my own. Obviously I can't. Thanks for reminding me to keep my eye on the prize!

Kinda. Lol. I sent her one email and took a few days for her to get back to me.

Hi everyone. So having my sleeve done in little over a week in Mexico. I have gallstones and have for a long time. They have never bothered me. I mentioned to my coordinator and she i should get the surgeon to do it for an extra $1000 while I'm getting my sleeve. What do you think? I'm gonna try to see my family dr before I go. Since it have never affected me what are the chances it will afterward? In Canada I don't have to pay to have my gallbladder removed. Is it worth the risk or should I just pay the $1000 to get it out at the same time as I get my sleeve

I'm lucky in the sense my hubby is super supportive and starting my pre op diet with me tomorrow! I'm doing two shakes and one meal. He is taking the shakes to work. What he eats or don't eat at work I have no idea, but as far as I know he will do it haha. I have a 3 day liquid diet pre op and do not expect him to do that haha. I do however expect him to stay on track with healthier eating habits and commit to changing our lifestyle as a family. He is by no means over weight but we want to be healthy for our kids.

Hi folks! I was out doing a little shopping and started wondering about what I need to pack?? I'm going Mexico to be sleeved in less then two weeks! I got slippers, nightdress and robe for the hospital

I'm having my sleeve in two weeks. Right now I cannot wait to get rid of my fat clothes!!!! I have anxiety over getting dressed everyday!!! I can't wait to get new clothes
