Patiently waiting....

Hi everyone! I finished my 6 month program on the 16th, now just waiting to hear If insurance approves. Getting very antsy! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Stay on course and keep trying to lose more weight. Use the liquid or lean diets to stay the course. The more weight you lose before the surgery, the easier it will be to lose the total amount. This is the time to try several Protein shakes so you can pick a likable shake. I use costco Premier Protein Shake (ready to drink, 11 oz and with 30g of protein) They are available at costco, vinalla or chocolate(mmm) 18 each for $23.99.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

Thanks you guys!

I have tried a couple shakes and pretty much gagged them down so I know they won't work for me. Anyone using a lactose free drink that they like?

My doc said we could use carnation breakfast drinks. No Protein gritty taste.

Mine said the same thing..I was wondering if you are using and how...it doesn't have as much Protein as traditional Protein shakes..if you are using it already, how are you getting enough protein?

      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.
