Finally Have My Surgery Date!



Recommended Posts

Although my appt is September 25th I am anxious and nervous. More excited of course. I am ready to change my life and become healthy and happy. I wonder how many fills it took for everyone to get there band right for them. I am concerned I'll have to keep going back and wont lose the amount of weight. Also there are worries that I'll need to change my ways of eating. I'll need to Basically be on a diet of Protein and low sugar foods. I know drink mostly Water. I heard its ok to drink sport drinks like Powerade or Gatorade okay? Or juice like Snapple or just strictly water? Because I have a real hard time drinking just water! I may get a food list I can use but what does everyone eat that is helpful?? Since I'm posting this in pre-op surgery people haven't had surgery yet maybe some people know what's best to eat?

sugar free Popsicles save my butt when I get the urge to nibble.

Buy some Crystal light flavors to use with Water. I freeze the water and Crystal light in the freezer and it comes out like a snow cone texture. You feel like you are eating ice cream. Congratulations on your date! Mine is Aug 6.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
