Yes but I hate Protein shakes lol. I keep telling myself I'll only have to drink them for a few weeks pre & post op & it will all be worth it. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I'm on facebook too under Angela Bottles. Feel free to messenger me. My doctor is Dr Marr. Have you gotten your approval from insurance yet? I just had my pre-op appointment last week & the diet so far has been pretty easy (lost 156 lbs in 6 months), but the pre-op diet the week before of 3 Protein drinks a day us going to be the hardest as I just don't like them. In the end it will all be worth it. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I only have to be on the pre-op diet for 7 days before surgery. I can have 3 Protein shakes a day plus cottage cheese, applesauce, yogurt, sugarfree pudding and cream of wheat Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I was lucky & my approval was no problem. Hopefully yours gets all fixed soon. I'll be having gastric bypass at West Penn Hospital. I'm from the Harmarville area near the Mills mall. Surgery is coming up soon & I'm just starting to get a little nervous. I'm happy that I'm doing it but it's all of the unknowns of what you'll feel like after surgery

Hi! I'm from Pittsburgh & I'm going in for surgery on Apr 6th. When is your surgery? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I just had my final appt with the surgeon on Thursday. My surgery is scheduled for Apr 6th. I'm a little nervous too but excited about what this will mean for my life. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

A little nervous, but excited that it's scheduled. I've had a relatively easy time with the diet the last 6 months (seeing the weight loss @ each appt has helped...156 lbs so far). This ia my b-day present to myself as I'll turn 40 five weeks after my surgery Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Don't be afraid of telling others. I have mu surgery schedule in about 3 weeks (4/6) & my biggest cheerleaders while I've been on this journey have been my friends & co-workers. Sometimes family are too close & never say the right thing Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App
