Severe Nut Allergy and Protein Shakes
grace-not-perfection posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a severe nut allergy and cannot consume anything with nuts or that has been processed with nuts. Any suggestions for Protein shakes? I would like to purchase some samples before my actual surgery in September. -

Dr. Yu was great, I agree I had a little hiccup with scheduling that made me start to worry about the practice, but once I showed up everyone was very professional and pleasant. My friend highly recommended him as well! -

I have not purchased any food yet... But I did buy a huge pack of bathroom size Dixie cups... I saw on Pinterest that they are a great way to measure 3oz. I thought it was a brilliant idea! I am going to do your broth and jello idea on my next grocery store round September will be here before we know it! -

I also just seen my surgeon on Friday and have the rest of mine scheduled, July and August, I went to Junes same day I met with surgeon, how cool is that, we could possibly be scheduled for surgery around the same time as well That is awesome! It's very surreal! I called to make my psych eval and was able to get an appointment tomorrow!! Now if this tropical storm will just cooperate and stay away from Houston I will be excited! -

I think I'm most worried that I won't loose any weight. I know i know... That is ludicrous, but it has been such a life long struggle with my weight I Doubt my bodies ability to be a normal size! I had been praying a lot about WLS and finally gave it to GOD and low and behold he had not one but three separate people speak to me in a fee days time about their WLS journey! I took it as a sign and called my surgeon that week. I know that this journey is going to be 50% weight loss battle ... 50% emotional battle... I am just trying to prepare myself for it all!! -
Will I really loose the weight?

Thank you all for your responses. I feel like the climax of a 33 year war is coming to a head and sometimes it feels hard to not doubt the outcome. Your encouragement, support and tips will be the armor i will wear into this battle!! I am ready to kick butt! -
