Hey there! I don't start my pre-op diet until Sept 9. My insurance is the weirdest... If I lose 10% I don't qualify. Most you have to lose to qualify. Since I've already been approved, I should probably start trying to lose some before surgery just so I don't have to lose as much after.

I start my pre-op diet on August 27. I need to figure out what Protein supplements I want to buy, but haven't had time. My doctor recommends Bariatric Advantage.< /p>

I went threw all day.

I just bought an assortment of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand my psychiatric counsellor gave me samples and they were fine. The website I bought Dom had a sample basket you could buy so you could try em before you bought the bigger container

A sample pack sounds like the way to go. A couple of websites offer them. I also want to try the chicken Soup. Several people I've spoken with bad trouble with sweet drinks after surgery, so I want to be prepared. I also heard the unflavored one is good for afterwards becuse you can add it to any soft foods for added Protein. My next challenge is giving up caffeine. I kicked the soda habit cold turkey many months ago and I've temporarily given up coffee when I was pregnant twice. I'm down to a out two cups of 1/2 caff, 1/2 Decaf mix, but I like the taste of coffee. I'm hoping to get a Protein Shake that tastes like coffee without the caffeine. :-)

I just got my Unjury order that was fast! Unfortunately I am having a bout of atrial fib ( rapid irreg heart beat) for the third time in 10 days. I am so upset I have had this condition for 8 years and this the most episodes I have had in a long time. The cardiologist has suggested a change in my meds but that requires hospitalization and monitoring. What a horrible day I am having and it started out so well. I started getting my pre op testing today my EKG this afternoon was perfect and I got my chest X-ray now this sighhhhhhhhh

I've done most of my testing. Not sure how much is left. I got a EKG yesterday and a chest x-ray today, so I have proof that I have a heart. Of course, my Mom suggests I get my head examined. She's sure they won't find anything. Ha ha!

I've been reading lots of posts by everybody. I wish this was less stressful for everyone, but I must admit, it does help to know that so many of us deal with all the surgery stress + other stress. Helps me feel like I will make it out just fine on the other side... And so will you!
