Hi Ladies; It's good to see everyones progress...I usually read the post but dont write anything but today I feel accomplish... SW-237 and as of today I am 199.6 :laugh0:

I forgot to mentioned that I use the Skim Plus milk, which it has 11g of protein per cup.

The pain is minimal is more soreness than anything, I had my surgery done this past Monday and by Saturday I was walking with my family in the mall. The second day is the most uncorfortable, but walking and sips will do the trick! many blessings to you!!

I am glad to hear about the return policy from GNC, because I bought the Isopure and honestly I can't stand it. I am using the carnation instant breakfast no sugar added (my doctor recommend it) so I usually do one as a hot chocolate in the morning and 1 around 4pm and I like them

Well I just find out that I was approved to have my surgery on March 1. As you know I am already having an anxiety attack because I am suppose to be doing the pre-op diet, but I really dont know to much what I can eat...can someone shed some light this way... And of course anyone else wants to join me!!

than you so much...you girls rock!

yes, actually tomorrow I am doing all the running around, cleaning and washing clothes and Sunday I'll be in church and then Monday here I come!!:thumbup:

hi faithful; welcome; glad that you had join, my surgery will be this upcomming Monday...I will tell everyone how it went once I'm back home

I am getting exited, in my case is more than i am bored of eating the same stuff, but the hardest thing to leave had been my daily pepsie. I have to admitt I had been tempted but I had behave. I actually been using the carnation sugar free Protein shake and I have to tell you is pretty good, I usually add some ice and make it into a smoothie How are ya doing?

I did pretty good, I even try some protein shakes and they were anwesome (carnation instant breakfast). What about you

Well today I am doing better as I actually caught a stomach virus. Today for breakfast I had special K, lunch I did a tuna salad and for dinner I did some chicken breast on a lettuce bed with some crystal light. I much on some low fat string cheese. What about you?

Thanks ladies for your replies; thanks so much for your replies he told me to do the same..high protein/low carbs, I guess I needed some sugestions as I dont want to do something I am not suppose to. Tiffy as you I dont have any other co-morbidities and my bmi is 43. I had been doing special K cereal, salads, fish and fruits and drinking water. I am going to take a look at those books that you had both mentioned. Once again thank you...

congratulations..those are great news, so do you have a surgery date already. I am at the final steps myself, so hopefully next month I will be able to get a date to submit my stuff to insurance

I had actually called them and for the information I was given, the lady said yes. I also saw it in the newspaper. I will do a research later on and will PM you the info.

for those that have Oxford/ UHC I had found this information...hope this help many of us having issues with Insurance: As of October 1, 2009 United Healthcare along with Oxford insurance companies cover the Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure. According to their policy "the gastric sleeve procedure (also known as laparoscopic vertical gastrectomy or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy) when done alone and not a part of the full operation to complete a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPDDS or DS) is proven in adults for the treatment of clinically severe obesity as defined by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)."
