Hey September members' date=' I was having trouble deciding how much time I should take off work. I work at Walmart as a cashier do u guys think 3 or 4 weeks would be enough?[/quote']

Hey Ramona, I would think being on your feet 3-6 weeks would be anticipated but see how it goes some feel great and are more able to get back to work. Can't wait til the 25 th to get this party started!

I have a quick question? Has anyone startes buying or using the Protein supplements(shakes)? I wanna start but I'm not sure what kind to get. My dr recommended a few different kinds but i wanna know what you guys think too.

Hi guys! Mine is scheduled for Sept 5th. A lil over 2weeks. Sooooooo excited!

[Uniqueladybug 80]

I've seen several people post that you tolerate things very different after surgery. I thought about stocking up on some now but my luck, I would buy what would make me sick. I hear powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is really good.

Thanks Jessica. I been hearing about that one a lot too. I heard some generic brands are good too. But i guess the perfectionist in me has to research everything to the ground. Hopefully the ones that i found dont make me sick.

Yeah! Our surgeries are on the same day. I go for my pre-op on August 29, but I have to start my liver shrinking diet August 27. Do you have to do a pre-op diet?

So I think we are a bit alike. I like to plan and plan and stock and plan lol so I bought my Optifast online and tried it out to jump start my low carb way of life. Their shakes ( I bought ready to use cartons an expensive way to go I think and it limits you use somewhat ) tasted just ok would not recommend them really. My psych counselor showed me a few and gave my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury samples those u liked and I bought some from their website. A few containers with 17 scoops in each. I would use the search tool here and try to get recommendations from people then buy small amounts and try them out. Oh yeah I bought the unflavored Protein powder from Unjury also is u can add it to things to up the Protein without changing the flavor.

We guys I am home out of the hospital on a new med for my a fib. Hopefully I will not have an episode before my RNY sept 25. I work in prw surgical testing so I am doing my pre ops here where I work and I sent the surgeon my ekgs the good and the bad ones ( sinus rhythm and afib) and my chest X-ray report. Lots of appointments next week.

I will need an IVC filter placed 2-4 days before my RNY to prevent clots meet with that doc next Tuesday. Anyone else been told they need one?
