I'm not the biggest fan if crystal light so I decided to buy the sugar free hawiian punch version. It's a bit too sweet if I mix it how they say so I leave it watered down some. I also use it in addition to concetrated Proteins because they need HELP! LOL I was just wondering if any of you has another kind that you like. What's your favorite?

And I just made an appointment with my mamma to have her take measurements and pics before I start the pre-op torture .... I mean diet I'll do it again the day before surgery then try for once a month!

@Elode. What's a PPI and, because apparently I missed this in all my research, whats a bougie -
Just Fab doesn't have an actual membership fee. It's frustrating if you forget to shop the mint but they usually send an email reminder. At least if you don't skip you can still use your money for shoes and not just lose it to them with nothing in return.

This is the one thing I worry about! BUT my booty has been big all my life. Can't imagine it really going away. My surgery date is 10 Feb and the moment my doc clears me I'll be right back to square...sumo squats with kettle a bell.....leg lifts.....all of that!! I might even squat my eat out of his office -

Yup! Dehydration. I had this same problem during pregnancy and was told to drink gatorade as well as water. (I had a hard time drinking water at the time). -
waiting for a date, how long after approval did you wait?
laurenella82 replied to Bruce Peter's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
And I answered your question wrong. Between getting the appropriate al call and getting an actual date, 2 days. My surgery is 10 Feb I have to do a 4 week pre-op diet. -
Thanks Alese! I'll check with my local VS and see if they carry it.

Just be glad it's not 21 days! I think I'm prepared but it sure seems like forever!! -
Did anyone eat below 400 or 300 calories for a year post op after gastric sleeve?
laurenella82 replied to Best's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm no shrink but suggesting such an extreme procedure to your doctor would make me think an eating disorder of some sort is evolving. But at the same time, a doctor that would suggest a diet so low in calories for a whole year would make me call his ethics into question....I certainly hope you do a lot more research (even research another doc) before you make your final decision. Be blessed -
@@mdlange thank you!

Listen...my Psych needed a Psych and I needed another one to deal with dealing with him Long story short, if your psych has done this kind of evaluation before you shouldn't have any issues! Mine had not and it took him 4 visits and a call to my nutritionist to figure out that I'm not a nutcase....one more visit and I would have been committed!

Where do you find the nectar one? I'd like to try one that isn't chocolate or vanilla.....or milky tasting. So far pocket protein and new whey are the only ones I've found. But they are super concentrated protein shots and I have to mix them with water and my crystal light.

Take a look at foodaddicts.org. maybe if there is a support group near you you can try them out. Most if not all of us have some sort of addiction to food. I went to a meeting and found it very helpful. Another good tool to aid in the process.

I've seen a lot of posts that suggest focusing more on measurements than the scale as you still lose inches during the dreaded stalls.

Thanks y'all! I wasn't told the last week would be any different. I'm supposed to do 3-4 shakes and one Protein and veggie meal per day. I'll have to rid my house of junk food. I don't want the chips now but when I'm not supposed to have them I'm going to want them lol

@@Elode LMAO!!!! I'm gonna do it too! As soon as my kid goes to sleep. Lol!!! That's actually a really good idea!

how long did your insurance approval take?
laurenella82 replied to Tdarbey's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have Amerihealth DC. It took maybe 3 or 4 days. Not sure the exact day it went to insurance because of the holiday. I was told it could take up to 4 weeks but they average 2 weeks to respond. I was't expecting an answer until next week. I'm scheduled for 10 Feb.
