Hey wanted to say that your before and after pics are really inspiring. I'm doing the pre op now and my surgery is on May 14.

Ok so today started off good. Took my pills and drank my shake which I had to add coconut oil to and it tasted great! Then a fews hours later the hunger kicked in.....urgh I thought those appetite suppressants where supposed to work! For lunch I did not have a blender so I stirred all the ingredients and it was gross. The coconut oil was clumpy and it was difficult to swallow.....dinner was great 'cause I had a small steak and mixed veggies. I need to really think of a way to make lunches shake better......oh well. I have an appoinment on Saturday which will be my next posting. Hopefully I would have lost some weight.:thumbup:

Hi Jonelle, Yeah I am lucky that I have her to share this experience with. She's been super supportive and so has my mom. I'm glad you have your family to support you as well. You'll be one of the skinny sisters soon! Tomorrow I start the pre-op diet and I have moved up my surgery from the 28th to the 14. So the process officially starts tomorrow. :thumbup:

Hello..... My sister just had her surgery on 4/15 and after many discussions with her....and her being my guinea pig....I decided to move forward and make the journey myself. I just got approved for the surgery which is scheduled on 5/28. I'm super excited and nervous. Would love to hear about your experiences. :thumbup:

Hi Regine, I'd love to be band buddies lol. I start my pre-op diet on Monday. I'm sooo excited. This is coming up so quickly. The staff at Strax have been wonderful so far and I just got my nution package today. I'll keep you posted on my progress....don't forget to keep my posted on yours. :-)

What a difference! I can definitely see the changes in your waist, hips and arms.....great job!!! -
Yay 2 days til my pre-op diet....excited about loosing some weight and being closer to my surgery date....not so much excited about the starving part :smile:. So I was given Curcumin, Citrin Plus, YES tablets and Right Whey meal replacement shake. The first week is a shake in the morning and in the afternoon and a small dinner (6 oz fish, chicken or meat w/a small salad, 3 different veggies and white vinager). The week of my surgery is all liquids, (shakes for morning, lunch and dinner). My next post will be on 5/3 to write how my first day went.....the nutritionist said I'd be a grouch.....let's see about that.:thumbup:

Thanks for sending luck my way....I get the shakes and stuff tomorrow from the nutrionist. I know it'll be hard but just thinking of what it's leading to will give me the strength to stick to it.....I hope everything is going well with you!!

I'm also having my suregry at Strax and I'm so happy to find other people on here who have one through the process with them. Everyone in the office is super nice. Dr. Choi was as well but was a bit rushed....he was to the point and was there if I had any questions. All in all it's been a good experience so far. I start my pre-op diet on 5/3 and my suregery is scheduled for 5/14. I am really excited and nervous!!!!:redface: -
