17 May is the Day need some Help



Recommended Posts

Ok, 42 full, figured metabolically challenged male. Tired of the Medication, fat jokes and all the other BS.

I decided that this was right for me, TRICARE (Insurance) will pay all but 116.00. Good to go.

Couple of question that I have. I have started the Protein Powder drinks in the morning and afternoon (Doctor said to about 2+ weeks).:thumbdown: I have been mixing mine with v-fusion, still taste like road kill. What do you mix with it? Tried Water, milk but it just is wrong.

My wife is supporting me and what needs to be done. Just how long on the water/liquid diet. Cravings? Depressed after? I am a easy going nothing fazes me. Just want to get off on the right foot and do it right the first time. Thank for the help.

I'm getting banded May 17th also. I started my my pre-op diet today, what kind of Protein are you taking? I use platinum hydrowhey and put it in either skim milk or almond milk (almond milk has less carbs so I try to stick with that. The Protein i use is really good, esp the vanilla.

Try blending your shakes with some ice in the blender, maybe some splenda if its not sweet enough? Are you allowed to have some fruit, or yogurt, or NATURAL Peanut Butter? Try throwing those in the blender with it if your allowed to once in a while.

So far I have had two shakes and some zero gatorade. Im not hungry but I do want to just chew on something! Good Luck, remember what your doing this for!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
