azmassage2000 started following Wow!!!, Protein powders or shakes, Dining out post op and and 7 others

So I know the shakes are easy to grab and go but most have milk and I am milk intolerant. I handle premier protein just fine. But do people also buy protein powders on top of the premixed drinks? They are all so pricey and I want multiple flavors. My surgeon provided tons of smoothy recipes for them but need different flavors of protein mix. But did not know if premix would work good to

azmassage2000 replied to miss_smiles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yea -
Me and my husband already came up with a plan where we will order a meal we are both interested in and we will just add a side no reason to order a full meal when we won’t be able to eat it.

But I am more afraid of the surgery itself

Anyone NOT lose their hair?
azmassage2000 replied to kaleia's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have not had my procedure yet and I go through periods of hair loss because of my crohns and malnutrition from that. I found that monta hair products are awesome and my hair has grown back thicker and wonderful. FYI I do not sell the stuff lmao. But it is so pricey I spend $100 on shampoo and conditioner and another $100 on vitamins. It is worth every penny. I was so sceptical at first but now I am mot -

azmassage2000 replied to JeezLouise91's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had a similar thing happened on the IUD I was bleeding for a month after 3 years. They removed it got me on a different hormone to stop it literally within two days it stopped. This was all because I have major ovarian cysts -

Unsupportive mother
azmassage2000 replied to lokaaaal8888888's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
She did it again this week. She dose not understand why if I have lost 40 pounds and I have always been under the BMI why I need it. I simply said Mom it goes up and down and my blood pressure is really high (it was when I lost 100 pounds and at 180). I need something to help my hunger pains it bothers me to always feel hungery. I know I will get more when she gets here before surgery she says it’s just because I am her baby. But she still dose not understand -

Unsupportive mother
azmassage2000 replied to lokaaaal8888888's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
To fight the weight battle and be successful u have to get ride of everything toxic in your life. The toxicity will cause old habits to come back. Once u fight the battle and feel u are completely in control introductuce it back in ur life. If you ever watch my 600 pound life there families are so toxic and most fall apart after surgery because the person that gets he surgery is ready to heal. The ones hat don’t fall apart go back to the way they were. Food is a strong addiction and the problem is u can not quite it cause u need it to survive. So battle your life do what is best for u. It’s time to say what is best for me and not worry about no one else. Because in the long run our weight might eventually kill us. Lots of therapy here before I got to this point and this is when I New I was ready for surgery. I am controlling my life and I do t care what people say I will be here for my grand babies -
