Wow that's a good idea. Brush ur teeth when ur hungry. I will try that.

Sounds great thanks

I got my surgery date today for Aug 6th for my gastric bypass!!! I'm very excited. I'm 26, 5'9" and 358lbs... I really hope to get to my goal weight of 180lbs. Anything lower would be awesome! Am I being unrealistic about my goal weight?.. It sounds impossible.

I was told they r going to fix my hernia too during the bypass. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks everyone that's very helpful. There seems to be so much to learn. I don't want to set myself up for failure. Trying to educate myself as much as possible before surgery.

Do we always have to do protein supplements? What kind of protein powder do u guys use? Where do u find portion control plates?

Mine will be the end of July too. I just submitted everything today. 2 weeks and everything should be approved and then surgery!!!

P.S. how do I update my profile? Having a hard time

I have about 4weeks till my surgery but I'm so nervous. Do we have to eat protein bars, shakes all the time?
