It has been kind of weird do not know how to say whether I am Happy about it yet kind oh worry and scare. I try to follow what I have been told to the T but it is kind of had to tell U the truth. Now is likeI have to learn a whole brand new life and I am all about that but I just still a little worry and scare of theunknown. I will be okay though after I learn more.

What your going through is normal and all of us has been where you are. I want you to watch this video and read the lyrics. This song is your life right now and it tells you what an amazing gift your going to have once this passes. You chose to save your life and you have come this far. You are now in charge not your weight so don't let it tell you anything different. Your going to make it and if needed I can give you my number and u can call me anytime. I'm here for you anytime day or night but first watch and read the lyrics of this song.

Sc_mama4 Thank You for Ur offer and the inspiring Song it really hit the spot emotionally. Jackie believe me I feel U. I am a very proactive person and do my research but for some reason I feel clueless when it comes to this. I have a dietician I have a 3 week plan post op but still it is kind of hard for me to keep up with a gallon of Water a day and 60 gm of protien. I have some protien shakes for bariatric patients that are 15 to 25 gram of Proteins. I do not want to make a mistake and risk my health. It is very scary but I am trying to keep up. I can not ruch the the water or anything I drink becuz it depends how u feel in the stomache and I have to sit up for everything. On the plus side since the surgery I have lost 12 lbs already. But I do not know whether that is actually a plus yet. It is more of the insecurity of everything. But like u sd just got to keep pluckn. It feels Great to have people to talk too Thank U SC_Mama4 .

My surgery was 3/27 but my Dr keeps us on a 2 week liquid diet (I should move to soft foods by the end of the week). One of the things that has really helped me to get my Protein in is Unjury protein products. You can order a sample pack that gives you about 10 packets fairly inexpensive. I like the chicken Soup flavor as a broth or the strawberry Sorbet with crystal light lemonade. Both give you 21 g of protein plus you're getting your liquids in at the same time. Personally, I started feeling so much better when I increased my protein levels (getting 60-70 g of protein every day) and it helps boost your energy too.

Iam doing a liquid diet for three weeks for protien I do chicken broth , Bariatrix fruit Protein Pro T 15 , and also Z-Pro 25 (this is a Protein Meal Replacement) it comes in chocolate and vanilla. Just talk to my Dietician becuz I was having problems getting it down but she told me to flavor it with tea or crystal lite u know. So I did and it is make it better on my stomach. Started walking with my Grand daughter feeling a little better. Let me know I can contact u .

      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.
