I have loved my Diet Coke.

So, is the Nutrionalist for presurgery diet too?

I can't have vitamin K. I can't have black licorice :\

I was told years ago that a high protein diet makes them more common. When Atkins diet got really big about 11 years ago I passed one and that's what the ER Dr said. True??? I don't know.

@[member="Deb Hass I am 48 and a very finicky eater. Texture is my biggest problem with gagging on food. I have a very small variety of foods that I eat now and worry about that after surgery. My go to is always "chicken ". But that won't help me for presurgery diet and weeks after. I'll do what I have to, but it is concerning. I don't like any fruit or vegetables, yogurt, cream soups. ... my husband stated last night that he's concerned about me finding things to eat. On the other hand if I get hungry enough I will eat. Good luck! and keep in touch and maybe we can give each other ideas.

It seems there are many to choose from. I am glad to see all the options. I'll start trying different ones now so it'll be less stressful than rushing to decide on one because my liquid diet is starting. Everything I can do ahead of time I'm going to do. Biggest thing currently is getting off diet coke. I have never been a water drinker so this will be a challenge for me. Even on days I drink less soda I just don't drink anything. I can do this though. ????

Islagirl#1 I was wondering how they would deal with this. I am glad you found out that you have it so you can do what you need to do to stay safe. So, shots in your stomach everyday? It could be worse I guess. Thank you for sharing. I feel much better knoing it's not a deal breaker. Next hurdle. .. I'm ready.

I see a psychiatrist already and I had an appointment earlier today and my Dr said when it came time for my evaluation let him know and he'll do mine and approve me. What a relief to not have that hanging over my head wondering if I will get hung up there. I am starting to think this might happen for me. Now ... I have new excitement and determination.

Me neither. I'll see if I can figure it out. I did see we can message one another. I'll send you a message.

No, I haven't had bartric surgery yet. I found out that I have it a couple years ago. My older brother told me he had it and my Dr ran some tests and found that I had it too. My blood is too thick basically. Green leafy vegetables cause your blood to thicken, especially kale. Like I said though, I am OK with that because I've never liked vegetables. They literally make me gag.

Msb7 You just started too, so I would like to keep in touch. Is that alright? You can friend people on here right?

I just started taking Phentermine on Wednesday January 27th 2016. I have anxiety so it just didn't sound like a good idea but I thought it should be alright because my PCD knows about my anxiety. I don't want to eat in the evenings and I'm not jittery but I have had a continuous headache. It may be the dose (30mg) is just not too high. If I continue to have a headache I will probably quit taking it. Here's the thing, I just quit taking lorzepam that I was on for years (addicted) quit smoking January 4th 2016 and trying to get off of Diet Coke. So, who knows what the heck I'm actually feeling!!? Lol

Today my Dr. Asked me to research Gastric Sleeve Surgery. She prescribed amphetamine pills and said after three to six months I should qualify for surgery. What do I need to concentrate on? Thank you to anyone that responds.

I am just learning about this... Do you guys buy a specific brand of Shakes? I've seen recipes for propel pop sickles and other things.

I just told my husband that the Dr. Told me to consider surgery. I asked him to not tell anyone, that it might upset my daughter (age 13) . She worries too much, but it may be because I am a little embarassed. My husband's family is very judgmental. His mom doesn't even want to be seen with me in public.

I have a 1 1/2 year old lab/great pyrenees mix. Sweetest dog...has to back out of rooms because she is too big to turn around.

I picked up the prescription yesterday. . It's Phentermine 30 mg.

I just started my 6 month supervised diet today. I have Medicare. Good luck everyone.

I have seen my psychacitrist and he said he'll appove me. One less thing to worry about.

@@southfloridasleever I also have Medicare and just began the gathering information process. I would really like to converse with you so we can share any information with one another.

Thank you
