I'm doing great Megs! Welcome Alisha! We have a great group of Okie's......Megs' date=' I finally found a Protein drink I can drink. I was so excited. I have spent a ton of money trying to find something. I tried the Premier Protein from Sam's and to me, it just tastes like chocolate milk. I was scared to death that I would be bald headed in about 4 months because of not getting my Protein. Hope things are going good with everyone!![/quote']

Oh honey... You have not even started loosing hair yet. It's ridiculous and annoying. It doesn't matter if you get all of your protein in or not... It's gonna go. Get and start taking bioten now and maybe it will not be as bad

Well pooh!! I have already lost a ton because of my thyroid. It makes me nervous as heck to think about loosing more. I have heard conflicting reviews on the bioten. Do you really thinks it helps?

On the Premier Protein you might check Amazon too you can get it as an add on item for I think takes a while to ship but I think it comes out a little cheaper if you buy ahead for later on... I have been getting samples of different things to try to find what I think will work for me haven't tried those yet.... I'm pre op and it looks like I'm gonna be on the list for late may/ early June

Lisa at Dr Kirks office told me to start taking it. I was already doing that so she was ok with it.

Hello all!

I live in okc. 27 F. heaviest weight 329 lbs' date=' surgery weight 282 lbs. Was sleeved this morning (10/23/12) with Dr. Broussard in Edmond. Love the entire program, surgeon, etc. So happy I did it & it's finally over with. Best decision I've made for myself-maybe ever. Good luck to all & I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Also...since we are all in OK area....I'd love to have a clothes trade or sell etc as we are all starting at different sizes. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks! Take care.

Hi Kimmy! Everything is great. I've lost about 32 pounds. Recovery was fairly easy. It's been 4 weeks now and I feel great. How are you doing?

Great job!! No, I haven't had mine yet. I'm still doing my 6 month supervised diet that's required by my insurance. I've had some of my testing done already...I do my sleep study Friday. I get more excited and more anxious every day:)

Good luck with everything, Kimmy. The sleep study is NOT fun, but tolerable. You will just go home and go to sleep. Your six months will be up before you know it. Hang in there..... :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
