I am starting my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow and I was wondering how many protein shakes I can have in 1 day. They have between 25-30 grams of protein and how often I can have jello and sugar free pops.

Chicken/beef broth. Low sodium though. Sugar free Popsicles and sugar free jello. That's all I know of. Stay away from red dye

I would keep calling your doctor until you see results! That's what I had to do.

No you don't need sippy cups after surgery

How long after the surgery was everyone allowed to drive?

Not quite sure. Seen them on another group. Thought they were cool.

What kind of pain meds do they put you on?

GNC lean is very good

I am taking 4 weeks off. I am having the surgery on the 30th and my work gave it to me with 60% of my pay.

Hi everyone, After a long journey I got the call yesterday that my insurance approved the surgery and I will be going in October 30th. I am so excited. I have found a delicious Protein shake already and I have a great support system. I get 4 weeks out of work with 60% of my pay and my husband took the first week out of his work to be with me. My mom is against it as she thinks when I get skinny I will become a different person. Which I do not see how losing weight will do that. I think it will make me happier which means a better person. I am just so excited to have this opportunity. I was going to go with the gastric sleeve but I have a huge hernia and my surgeon thinks I could end up with acid reflux disease. So we are going to avoid that all together. Also, one thing I'm worried about is my boobs are going to end up looking like deflated balloons. I am currently a DD and I have always been large breasted my whole life so hopefully they do not go down too much. I also work with a man who used to be a personal trainer and he said he will help me with whatever exercises I need. This is going to be so awesome. Can't wait to feel healthy again ❤️????

Hello group, I had a few questions. I am currently at 240 lbs. I am looking to lose about 80. I was wondering if there is going to be a lot of extra skin when the weight comes off? Will weight come off everywhere? I went a week and a day ago to talk to us surgeon to make a date for surgery. I originally wanted the sleeve but since I have a huge hernia, the thinks the bypass is the best choice. I just found out my date is Oct. 30. Waiting for insurance to approve to make preop appt. Little bummed it's a day before Halloween because I won't be able to go with my kids but they are totally fine with going with my husband/their dad. Sorry this post is so scattered. I'm just so anxious now. Also, what did everyone find to be the best Protein shake. I heard Shakeology and GNC lean were really good. TYIA! ????

Amazing ????
