  1. Guys, Please advise, I only lost 15 lb in 2 weeks and actually gained 1 lb yesterday:( I see people here have much better results... Not sure if it is because I still cannot take all the liquid and Protein that is required or i am not doing something. Just want to stay positive and focus all the right things. Maybe, i am just having one of those days....
  2. Thank you so much for posting your comments. This is exactly what I needed - a reality check.
  3. K protein flavors: strawberry Kiwi Iced Tea Pink Lemonade Sugars - 0 Carbs - 5 to 6 r Fiber 5 g One more thing you can try is fat free milk, 1 cup is 9 gr of protein Also, you can try protein shakes but in a sml portions - i try to take 2 tbls (about 1 oz) about every 10 to 15 min. It helps. Good luck!!
  4. I can defiantly relate e to this problem, I had my surgery on Oct 26, and still straggling with liquids and Protein shakes. I found one than I can tolerate better than others. It is more like a juice, Isopure zero carb Protein Drink (it is ready made) -15 gr of protein in a 8 oz . Also I use Kellogg's Special K 20 Protein Water mix . (5 gr per serving). Just add a packet to your bottled water, shake and sip. Best wishes!
  5. The Bowel Prep will help “clear you out” so you will be less likely to develop constipation after surgery. My doctor recommended to take a bottle of Magnesium Citrate or 3 tablespoons of Milk of Magnesia (over the counter) the evening prior to surgery. (around 5 -6 pm) .
  6. I had my surgery on October 26th, every day I feel better and more energized. Today was a first time I really felt hungry like starving hungry. Should I be concerned?
  7. I did not start the PPI, thanks for telling me. Will get one today...
  8. I had a horrible nausea after surgery (October 26, so still a newbie) and doctor prescribed both the patch and lorazapam 1 mg and metoclopramide 10 mg. I only had to take it for few days and nausea is gone.
  9. 4 days after the surgery, in the last 2 days start experiencing stronger abdominal pain and pain on the lover left side...

  10. Few Protein produts that i like: Helth wise -shake Shake 15 in Disposable Plastic Bottles (kiwi strawbery) Designer whey -strawberry has actually become my favorite Protein Drink Isopure Plus 0 Carb Protein Drink Alpine Punch, 6-8 Ounces Bottles Best wishes!
  11. The surgery was successful, glad to be home!

  12. Good luck tomorrow with your surgery! You will do great and it will be over before you know it.

  16. I AM FREAKING OUT, My surgery is scheduled for 10/26 and I was fine and very excited until I started to review the informed consent form and read about possible issues. I understand it is a standard form, but seriously I think my mind is playing tricks on me!
  17. Surgery scheduled - Tuesday 10/26!!! Getting ready!

    I AM FREAKING OUT,

    Thank you guys, I am much better today. Had my lab work done, getting the list together for shopping tomorrow, getting the house in order..ect and started to look for that perfect dress for New Year’s eve.
  19. I can relate. Yesterday I was seriously freaking out after signing the consent form, but thanks to my husband and this support group, I feel much better today. Try to focus your attention on what you really desire inside your heart, what's important to you, and how you want your life to be. Go to that time, that moment when you said to your self- “Oh! Yeah!” I am tired of this weight and it’s time to do something about it.

    Thank you ! You are right I CAN DO IT and I WANT TO DO IT!!
  21. Hello, I am new here and need an advise .. I have been approved for the surgery with Dr. Jossart and really need the surgery ASAP due to other health issues, however when I called to schedule a surgery -it seams that Dr. Jossart is no longer with the lapsf office and they don't have or don't want to provide his contact information. Not sure what to do..
  22. Yesterday, i received an unexpected call from LapSF office and they told me that Dr. Cirangle will be able to perform the surgery . Best News ever. What a rush from being frustrated to being so excited..
  23. Thank so much for the info. I don't mind to go with Dr. Cirangle, but he does not accept the insurance at this time (
  24. Googling and information both provide old number for him, so frustrating. I called the insurance provider to see if they had the new info and nothing.
