Me too, Tommy! This wait is TORTURE!!

Re read the whole thread, that is discussed up thread. Many people count net carbs, as in take the total carbs (my Quest bar wrapper here says 26) subtract the fiber grams as they are "good carbs" (my wrapper says 17) and some subtract the sugar alcohol grams as well because of how they are digested (wrapper says 6g erythritol). So 26-17 = 9 net carbs Or 26-17-6 = 3 net carbs As someone else said unthread her nutritionist doesn't agree with that. Mine does. You need to find out your doctor or nutritionist recommendations on that or if you don't have that option do your own research and form an educated opinion. Oh ok. Thanks so much for explaining. I was scared of getting attacked by people thinking I was being judge-y. Lol. The only way to learn is by asking and I knew nothing of the net carb concept. I'll definitely ask my medical peeps! Thanks again!

Don't those protein bars too many carbs? I'm not judging or criticizing..... Just still learning. I'm pre-op.

I'm scheduled for 6/27 and I just turned 47 so I'll be 48 a year out too. I'm so excited for my new life!! Even if I am old! Lol

I haven't tried any so don't kill me if they suck! Lol

The rest

Here's a pic of 9 of the 15

I haven't tried any yet bc the post-op people keep saying that my tastes will completely change post-op.

I got mine from this site. I bought 2 cases and each one had 15 different flavors.

That was so beautifully put. In a month I will join you on the losers bench and your words will stick with me and know that I may go through this. Thank you soooo much for sharing.

Wowwwww!!! A lot of 6/27!! I'm on 6/27 too!! I don't get my diet until I go to my meeting on 6/7 so no advice yet but let's keep each other posted! I bought all my post surgery stuff off here.

Thanks for the info

My surgeon never said anything about caffeine but I keep reading about it on here. I have one more meeting with him prior to surgery and will ask about it but in the meantime, can someone please explain the reason?

Whoo hoo!!! Let's keep in touch!

Thanks!! Same to you, girl! We got this!!

6/27 RNY

47 years young from Michigan. Got my date today. June 27th! [emoji51]

I just got my date today for June 27th. I cannot WAIT!!!! I'm sooooooo excited. I almost screamed and dropped my phone when they called. I was driving. Lol

Glad to hear it went well. Sorry about the pain. I'll be joining you on the losers bench 6/27

Good luck!!

I have always been thin until the last 10 years so for me it will be like a welcoming back the "real" me. I think I would be so hard if I was going into the unknown though. Can't even imagine! Just got my date today. I'm beyond excited!!

Wow I'm really glad post-op people responded. Much more specific advice than my stay busy advice. I love these lists!!

I'm finally on month 6. My last visit is 5/13. I'm worried about the insurance approval too. But as far as making the time pass just try to stay busy and not obsess. Easier said than done I know but keeping busy is my best advice. [emoji4]

@betterme38...have you started ordering bariatric foods and liquids yet?

Whoo hoo!! Good luck and speedy recovery!! You got this, girl!!!!
