U should see a nut that delivers food to u. I have a nutritionist that prepares my meals and delivers them. That's three meals a day and two Snacks. They r yummy n things I would never think of making. This will make u feel special n not eat boring shakes while everyone else is having nice things. Search for someone n ur area that prepares healthy meals from a nutritionist Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ur nut should lose her job! Telling someone this is wrong! We have issues with food and u can't just say eat ice cream! Uhhhhh some ppl. Dnt be tempted. Soft cheese, or the cheese on a stick is yummy. I love Greek yogurt Even a slim fast to get n the extra cals is better than an ice cream. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If I were you I would track my Protein intake with an app. To measure how much I am getting in every day. Try to up the protein and keep tracking until u feel better. If u don't feel better try n ask the doctor office to see u n check for anemic. They could give u a B12 shot to help u but u should up protein Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wish me luck. I'm 36 BMI And I'm about to go into surgery. I'm having it done in dubai Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Try hummas. It's great from restaurants and not so great from cans. If u do get the can try olive oil just a tad Beans r great too! Have I ever tried lentil? Yummy! Blend it and it's also great! Cook it like a thick soup If U make chicken soup with fresh veggies ( medium thickness) then blend one cup and divide three times. Place each one in to containers and u have ur three meals. Same for all blend foods. Blend one cup and divide into three containers. If u have to eat every two hours then do this twice. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Salaam, I'm getting sleeved in two weeks. I'm n oman Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm not in the USA but I'm American. I first had a gastric balloon back in August. Was not helpful. I lost 10 pounds lol My BMI is 37 and I have high cholesterol and pre diabetic. I have struggled all my life but knew my insurance would never cover it in states. I'm working n dubai. Went to a doctor who took my history n was like. Yes you qualify. And being in a therapist myself he said no need for a therapist! I was shocked when he said come next week for an upper GI scope and blood work. Then we will out I on liquid diet for a week then surgery before the month is over! The insurance will pay for it 100%!!!!! It was all so fast! So easy! I'm not in USA. So I can't get all the good Protein shakes y'all get there but I am traveling to Atlanta n may. I'll get a huge supply. I do have a GNC store. What type of Protein Shakes should I try. I saw another group use isolate whey? What else should I be doing? And how soon did u have the GI scope before ur surgery? Is this consider pre op work?

I don't intend to tell anyone at work. I took off a week. I have a job that doesn't require anything but sitting behind a desk. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had the balloon as well and it was not what I expected. I was hungry after the third month and I only lost 10 pounds. However it was a good idea to show I had a history of wanting to lose weight for the sleeve. It was a waste of money and I wish I didn't do it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank u. I'm starting my pre op diet in three days and I will remember u when I want to give up. Very inspiring. All the best Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks so much. I love this forum. I am feeling excited and I am ready to change. I just have a fear u know? I guess it's understandable. I have great support and then I have this forum now. I order the items for my liquid diet and I'm getting my head ready. I had to express my fear to ppl on here. Somehow I feel weak if I admitted it to my loved ones. Thanks everyone!
