Well make sure the shakes have adequate nutrition! You can lose the weight but I am not going to lie, it takes work and a committment from you. It is so easy to keep the bad habits. Snacking, eating too many carbs etc. You really have to focus on your Protein and walk as much as possible. BUT you CAN absolutely do it if you want it. You will eat a lot less but if you snack and eat the wrong things then it will not work.

I use Premier Protein shakes. I know you can get them online but they only deliver to Canada and USA. You can try to order from Amazon but I am not sure if they have it. There are seveeral out there, you just want to make sure that they are low carb as well as full of the Daily Nutrition you need. I was told to drink 4 of those a day. ( I only drank 3 and took a chewable vitamin). I am not sure what you have available but I would check the label. Oh and make sure you drink LOTS of Water or you can get dehydrated.

      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.
