So happy for this site. I seriously was going to go to urgent care. Its been kike 2wks and im.still on. I was on bc and havent had a period in years to now this. Def about to get bck on BC asap.

@foodfighter78..thanks. thats what keeps me kinda on the straight and narrow. I have my first post op appt. Next wed. 7 more dys. Pray for me. Today was a better day the shots hve like 42 grams so i mix with water and protein juice drinks. Tryna figure it out. I got at least 60grams of protein in and water.

I am about 2 weeks out. Ive been having such a hard time just drinking. Im ready for a lil food. I tried these protein whey shots. They are saving me. Soup justs makes me hangry.cuz i want flavor. Semi solids next week. Anyone able to est food before 3 weeks post op?

Surprisingly pretty good. I just want food sooo bad. Soo i got some tomatoe bisque and butter nut squash on some days. Premier protein is my friend. Goes down the best. Learning to mix my water and i can handle it better. Havent got all my protein in yet...per day like 40 grams...i need 60...but by 8pm...im so full. I put some jeans that were super tight on this morn bc i had to go in office and thry just slid on. I super smiled. So excited in this process.

LovelyBrown, how did surgery go? I hope and pray you are feeling well. In any case, have a Merry Christmas. I KNOW your new year will be wonderful! what a wonderful gift to yourself. I hope you are on the mend. My date 12/30

I feel like after waiting then bam!! Its here. Im tommorrow and just ready for this journey.

After waiting..all of a sudden its here bam!! Im to be sleeved tommorrow ready and excited.

Thanks. I actually like the premier protein too. Started on chocalte and vanilla is like drinking milk. Ill look into the whey one as well. Surgery is tommorrow.

I really like the Premier Protein shakes. They have 30 grams of protein and taste really great - at least the vanilla does! If you have a Costco membership, they are about $25 per case of 18 so that equals about $1.40 each. They have 160 calories per shake and keep me full for a long time. I have tried all sorts of shakes and I also like Whey Tech Pro 25 at 24 grams of protein, 110 calories. They have a Chocolate Mint that is really good! Best wishes for your surgery on the 23rd.

Thanks...i prefer those too and my nurse said this morning theyll be just fine. Ill try the vanilla...thats sounds diff and yummy.

Still new to the group. Got approved yesturday.. And surgery is literally next wed Dec 23. Im stoked!! Met with my surgeon today. Hes pretty cute and confident. I need help...started liquid diet yesturday with Protein shakes...doc said he used to recomend optima fast..aka slim fast...now the hospital recommends batiatric advantage bc its lower cost. Thoughts?

What are you drinking? Have you tried different ones?

How long did it take for you to get your surgery date. Im hoping by end of year.

i am new to the group just started my pre op appts but im hoping for late december to have my surgery- had my nutrition visit the other day and psych eval today. Lab work friday-
