  1. I won't find out the time until the day before the surgery. Hoping for early! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm asked to be there at 5:30 and surgery will be at 7. The earlier the better (because of the fast). Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using the BariatricPal App That's great! I hope I have something similar!! I wish I knew the time already!!

  5. I had to do 6 months of weight management. My hospital has a really good program where u go to nutrition classes once a month. I lost 30 pounds during the 6 months with little to no exercise. Basically what they taught was to focus on 2-3 changes a month. Their philosophy was to make life long changes and not to be on a crash diet. So that's what I did, every month I would cut out or work on 2-3 things and I never felt overwhelmed. Some of the things they wanted us to work on/change is: No soda/juice, all drinks should be sugar free No fried foods Eating 3 meals a day with a Protein in each meal 1/2 cup carbs at meal and no more(corn is a carb!!) Increase fruit and veggie intake 2 Snacks a day if needed, should be 100 calories or less and less than 9g sugar Not eating while watching tv or on ur phone, they call it mindless eating and u tend to keep eating without realizing or enjoying it Chewing ur food 25 times...seems odd, but it helps with digestion, also helps u eat slower which helps u recognize when ur full and not over eat Proper plating(1/2 veggies 1/4 protein 1/4 carb) There were some other things too, if I can find the handouts I will post.

    Pre-op Diet

    It's interesting how each doctor seems to be different. I had to go on my pre-op diet 14 days before. My surgery is the 17th so I am on day 6. I have 2 Protein shakes and 1 high protein, low fat, low carb meal. If I feel hungry at night, I am allowed another shake, so far I have only needed the evening shake once. I have been having dinner be my actual meal and it feels like a reward at the end of the day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  7. Yay! We are surgery sisters!! Whatever u do, don't try Isopure Cookies and cream and strawberries n cream!! I have heard from a lot of recommendations for premier, plan to order some tonight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  8. Thanks for all the recommendations ladies! Going to hit Amazon and shop around. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  9. How was the chocolate Isopure? I found out that my surgery will be at 11am on 1/17. Getting really anxious now! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App It was actually Cookies and cream that I ordered. I thought it was chocolate. The cookies and cream tasted better than the strawberry but still not good. I get this powder smell when I drink it, it's really hard to explain. But I think it's the smell more than the taste that is bothering me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  11. My doctor doesn't want us using the pre-mixed for some reason...they explained why but I don't remember their reasoning. Right now I have the Isopure no carb strawberry and Dutch chocolate. Hoping the chocolate is better. If not I will be heading to Vitamin shoppe to check out Quest. I wish I only had one week of pre-op diet. I have to do 2 weeks, with 3 shakes a day and 1 meal. I'm reeeeealllllly hungry right now lol! I will not receive the time for my surgery until the day before. It's frustrating that is how they do it. U are lucky to find out ur time so soon! We are almost there!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
