Hi,

I wont lie it hasn't been the easiest thing I have ever done, but each day is better than the last. I am on day 9 of the diet and have 7 more days. (i started a day or two early to make sure I could drink those Protein drinks)

The first 3 days were rough!! had a head ache, very weak and just felt awfull.....but I just commented to my husband yesterday as we were walking through Walmart that I felt like I had a little more spring in my step. I guess its the 17 pounds I have lost (7 on the pre-op diet). Just that little bit seems to have made a difference.

Hang in there.....one member (Xavier) put it best..... This is the last diet you will ever be on!!

My date is the 22nd, I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow. I also got the muti-vitamins. But I do have a question, are we allowed coffee?

My doctor said 1 cup...with stevia sweetner, no Creamer.< /p>

However..... I made a coffee latte out of mine. So I could get the Protein in.

1 scoop Protein power

4 oz coffee (chilled)

3 oz skim milk

1/2 oz sf vanilla Syrup

1/2 oz sf caramel syrup

6-7 ice cubes

blend and enjoy. 140calories/ 15 proteins/ 3 carbs

      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.
