I haven't tried the Body Fortress, how is it? I currently have Unjury protein. I bought different flavors so I could switch up, but I would like to know about other great proteins. I'm drinking the Premier Protein shakes now on my pre-op. Premier is an excellent shake.

Yes the caffeine, it was difficult. I had to slowly decrease my intake because I was getting headaches but didn't realize my headaches were a result of it until I met with my NUT. I didn't realize I was drinking so much coffee while at work. I'm with you, we've come to far now to mess up. Six meals through out the day will be a huge challenge for me when I return to work. We can do it though!! Stay in touch and I'll do the same. We're almost there !!

That's awesome, wondering how many pounds I will lose. I'm not going to weigh myself until next Tuesday. I can lose 30 lbs. and still proceed with surgery, that would be so excellent . I'm very happy our time is approaching.

12 Days remaining October 7th sleevers! Who's excited, me lol! I know it's quite a few of us. Second day on pre-op diet (low-carb), it's going well for me. My husband is also participating with me on the diet , he's a great support. How's everyone else doing on pre-op?

12 Days remaining October 7th sleevers!!! Wow, who's excited lol!

Wishing you the best, keep us posted!

Wishing you the best, congratulations!

I wish you both all the best, congratulations!!!

I started my pre-op diet as well (low carb diet). Two weeks remaining, my excitement continues to build daily. I'm so ready for October 7th!

Spinach is a great source of iron. Everything will be fine. What date is your surgery scheduled for?

Maybe you should consider taking a Iron supplement. I have to take iron and a Multivitamin because of anmenia due to my irregular menstrual bleeding. I talked with my surgeon about it and he advised me to increase my iron intake to twice a day. That's another reason why I'm so ready to have surgery on Oct 7th. My menstrual has been so irregular as my weight has increased. But I hope this helps. The sooner you can begin taking an iron supplement the better. Double check with your doctor.

Thanks so much! Are you starting your pre-op diet tomorrow as well?

Hi, I start my pre-op diet tomorrow as well. Wow, I thought this time would never come. Two weeks until surgery, I'm really excited too. I'm hoping this time will go quick I know it will. I have to complete my pre-op testing at the hospital on next Tuesday. Let's stay in touch, there seems to be a lot of people scheduled for October 7th ! Good luck to everyone, we can do this!

Wishing you the best, please let us know how you are doing post-op. Congratulations!

Hey everyone, I'm counting down the days , I have 16 days until surgery. Starting my 2 week pre-op diet on Tuesday, September 23rd. My surgeon wants me on a low carb diet. I am choosing to substitute 2 meals with premier protein shakes. I'm looking forward to getting myself prepared for surgery! I'm going to plan my meals tonight to avoid repeating the same meals.

Im currently taking Centrum and they are pretty good. My surgeon think they were as well. I'm not looking forward to those chewable bariatric vitamins. I've been sampling them over the past 2 weeks. So I've decided to get the crystal multivitamin and calcium. I don't think anyone offers the iron and B 12 in crystal form . Good luck on your journey!

Hey Tammy, how are you. Yes I would love for us to stay connected. Do you have to start your pre-op diet next week?

Congratulations!! I'm also excited because my surgery is also scheduled for October 7th! My bariatric practice has been teaching the importance of taking multivitamins daily. From my understanding even with taking multivitamin some people experience some hair loss around 3 or 4 months post-op. But the vitamins definitely keep the lost at a minimum. The vitamins are very important for overall well-being. I wish you the best on your journey!

Hey NC Girl, I'm from Greenville, NC. It's great to finally chat with someone from the NC . I'm scheduled for October 7th!!! I'm so excited, starting my pre-op diet next Tuesday 9/23. Let's stay in touch. Best wishes!

Tell me about it. I'm so consumed by my surgery, I can't think about anything else. I have completely zoned everything else out :-). I was scheduled for surgery last Friday (surgery date OCTOBER 7TH!!!!) and my obsession has intensified times 10. I'm so ready!

Definitely call to get more information. I hope you get the answers you need and things go accordingly so you can proceed forward.
