Thanks 1Linda! Great I know I can do that. I survived on Herbalife for weeks. Now from what everyone says I need to find a portein drink I can stand. I am sure the nurtionist will tell me all that stuff, but is there a certain requirement for the portein drink? there are so many out there.

Hi! I'm looking at my paperwork from the nutritionist at Baylor Plano. They will give you a list of suggested Protein Drinks. I prefer the Premier Protein Drink from costco (recommended by someone at the support group). It's not on the list but more than meets the requirements. It's 11 ounces and virtually no carbs. It packs 30 grams of Protein. I also like the Amplify from GNC (20 grams of protein per scoop, mixed with only 4 ounces liquid) and Jay Robb. The Nectars are good to mix with Water for fruitier drinks. The "requirements" noted on the paperwork indicate less than 5 grams of sugar per serving and at least 15 grams of protein. They also say to avoid Protein Bars.< /p>

shylady,

I have a high opinion of Dr. Hamn based upon his surgery competency. However, I have not found him to be the most talkative or his network to provide the most support. What I have read from others about Dr. Nick seems to provide superior capabilities in this regard. So, I would recomend Dr. Hamn for sure based on what he has done for me. However, it sounds like all things considered in your case you have made the right choice.

Best of luck to you.

Longhorn, how did yours go? Didn't you just have it the other day?

Twobluecats, Great thanks for the information. That is what i was trying to figure out :

The "requirements" noted on the paperwork indicate less than 5 grams of sugar per serving and at least 15 grams of Protein.

I remember someone at the support group i went to mentioned the Premier Protein Drink from costco also. Isn't this a ready to drink one? I think i would probably do better with ready made, especially at work.

What is the limit of the carbs a day?

All of this is so helpful, thanks everyone.

Does anyone go to the support group at Plano baylor? I have been the last 2 months.

shylady,

Yes, Tuesday was my day. It has gone well although the first night was rough. But all is well and I'm starting to recover and learning to eat (drink) again. Thanks for asking.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Clayton Frenzel in Dallas. He is a certified bariatric surgeon AND a Plastic Surgeon. He goes above and beyond for his patients. He did my sleeve on January 26, 2011. He is an incredible surgeon that is there for his patients all the way... If plastic surgery is needed after I lose all my weight, how great is it that HE can do that. He is already familiar with me and my medical history!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
