Ohhhhh Lordy!!! Is my turn tomorrow. Overwhelmed this morning because my oldest daughter Dad was killed on September 11 and she's at the ceremony as we speak and she thinks I'm going to die too.

Has anybody found a Protein Shake that they really like? I've only tried carnations instant and it was pretty good but I wanted to try others. Thanks

hey jessica(uniqueladybug) thanks for updating i was just about to!

I finally converted to regular rhythm again after 48 hours of controlled rate fib. I posted a long dissertation on my blog about the situation. But the short version is I went into fib again thursday night just in time for my scheduled redo of my cardiac clearence. I went for the appt friday morning still in fib but with the new medicine I have a slower rate and am able to move around without the raging headache or dizziness. I was indeed in fib and the cardiologist and I had a long talk. He put some of my fears to rest: the main one being that my WLS would be postponed due to the fib and that he would not "clear" for surgery. He said as long as my rate is slow and I am as able as I was right then we were ok for the surgery. people live in constant fib and my bariatric team expects me to go into fib during or after surgery. I am to control my rate with another med and because i am on an anticoagulant (which I must stop 5 days before IVC placement) i will bridge the time from when I get the IVC filter(to prevent clots) til my WLS date about 3 days with lovenox (a shot to anticoagulate me). so we have a plan for any complications due to my heart crap TG i was so worried it would cause me to not be a september member!

Wishing you the best. We still have a while till the month ends to be September member.

      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.
