What is the best tasting protein shakes?
Myhorseisfattoo replied to Bougieb's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to use Premier pre-op, but I have heard the Atkins high protein shakes have some really yummy flavors - looking forward to trying them! -
This preop diet is killing me
Myhorseisfattoo replied to kag2791's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would agree w that. My pre op diet doesn’t allow anything but liquids so I’m pretty effing hungry! I’m wrapping up day 5....3 to go. Arg!!! -

Two Week Pre-op Diet, Feeling Awful... Reassure me?
Myhorseisfattoo replied to scribs's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm on day 5 of 8 pre-op liquids. It isn;t great. I'm tired and I'm sorta hungry, but not really. More like just not satisfied. Bone Broth is my savior! Something warm and savory in my tummy makes a HUGE difference. You got this, lady!!! -
CPAP users, lend me your ear!
Myhorseisfattoo replied to kfaery215's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I HATE my cpap with a bloody passion. Can't wait to wave goodbye to it. Sleep doc once told me that typically, reducing your body weight by 20% can stop certain apneas. We shall see!!! -
This is currently my biggest fear - that I will get sick and be unable to have my surgery.
-
OMG - I called it!!! Also, you are right up my alley and I just Kindled up a couple of your books to read while I'm off! During the semester I never get to read for pleasure, so I'm looking forward to it!

Thank you!

3 days in to liquids....
Myhorseisfattoo replied to Myhorseisfattoo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OK. 4 days in and I'm hungry now. Food smells make me swoon. That is all. I have lost some poundage though. -
...and oddly not hungry. I definitely feel like I'm missing something, but not necessarily food. I'm a little bit tired, but mostly just fine. A few pounds dropped off, but Premier stops me up like no tomorrow. So what I'm saying is......NOT SO BAD!!!

Also, you should consider a career in writing!

I freaking LOVE you! Thanks for being a real human being and being brave enough to admit it! Yesterday was one day, today is new and you got this!!!!!!

Ohhhh... now I have so many questions

Silly Geodude! Maybe you wanted to enjoy your semester break as opposed to recovering through it!?!?!? 🙂 -
Ohhhh... now I have so many questions
Myhorseisfattoo replied to Excited for a new me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes! I am in a masters program so I had to do this on my semester break. Work will always be there but I'm not screwing up my MPH! -
Ohhhh... now I have so many questions
Myhorseisfattoo replied to Excited for a new me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am taking 2 weeks. Even if I don't NEED it, I deserve some peace and quiet. And it's right over Christmas so it works out well! I have heard of many who feel 1 week is enough and a few who have gone back as soon as you want to and were just fine. -
December 2018 Sleevers!
Myhorseisfattoo replied to batty_vsg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I will be on clear liquids the day before surgery also. I'm chugging along now with my shakes and broths etc. Hoping that last day of clears will pass quickly!!! I'll try to stay busy at work! -
3 days in to liquids....
Myhorseisfattoo replied to Myhorseisfattoo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am constantly drinking water but probably not getting 128! Probably in the range of 80ish. I'm alternating Premier days and yogurt days as per my doc, which helps. Then liquids next Tuesday and BAM, surgery day!!!! -
Happy belated birthday, skinny bidge!!!! 🙂

December 2018 Sleevers!
Myhorseisfattoo replied to batty_vsg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just had my "last meal" as liquids start tomorrow. Had a steak w mushrooms and onions. Maybe 3 tiny little baby potatoes. Was soooooooo full. I'm also have a glass or two of chardonnay. So sue me! I'm so ready for liquid phase and then SURGERY! Dang it, lets GO!!!! -
I'm 52! Getting sleeved on the 12th and I expect to lose just like a youngster! Speaking my future truth!

After my surgery I'm looking forward to...............
Myhorseisfattoo replied to elcee's topic in The Gals' Room
Today I'm looking forward to: Not feeling fat Buying small clothes Making people wonder how I did it Seeing an old boyfriend by chance while looking all slim and gorgeous Working out without a huge tshirt on to cover all my stuff Wearing full seat riding breeches that fit and don't look like 10 pounds of sausage in a 9 pound bag -

Had my pre-op and pre-anesthesia appointments this morning! All is good to go for the 12th! Start liquids on 12/04, not looking forward to that, but it is what it is! Let's get this show on the road!!!!!!! 😁 -
What is a common non alcoholic drink to get at a bar?
Myhorseisfattoo replied to Chevron's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What a thoughtful, great idea! I will do the same. My daughter is a bartender on the side and I know how hard she has to hustle! -
Can't wait to hear back!
