Ok. I don't know how my comment got on someone else's. But I am still fairly new at this posting. Anyway. I too Just got approved. Today!!! February 18th is my day with dr Gersin in Charlotte NC

Hey there!!! Same day!! Pre-op is the 3rd (Monday) then I start my pre-op diet Tuesday. Good luck!!

That's awesome. Mine is at 7:30am, I am over the moon. My liquid diet starts Tuesday as well. And I have at least one appt scheduled for every day next week. This is really happening :). I want to scream it to the world

I am not home tonight but I'll look and tell u what it's called. Herbalife's is ok but expensive for the amt you get. I'll look in the morning and let you know what I can handle.

On Amazon the Bariatric Advantage unflavored has good reviews. I use their vanilla and just ordered chocolate and unflavored today.

Bariatric Advantage tears me up. It literally felt like I had food poisoning I was running to the bathroom so much. I think some ppl just can't tolerate some of it. It may have been the flavoring though so let us know once u get the unflavored in

Will do. I had diarrhea this AM but am also on antibiotics. Emailed my surgeon and he said take my next pill with a small greek yogurt. I did that and had my vanilla shake at dinner and am fine. Thank God! Because this morning wasn't fun. Lol.

Me too :) I wanted it to have it done around Christmas/New Year. Since that was not an option I had to push it back to Feb 11th.

In my third month of this process. Feb 14th will mark a full three months. At the last appointment I was down 25 pounds and was feeling like I could do this. Since then, not so much. I have not lost a single pound, not an ounce. WTH!!!!! I am sticking to the plan (NUT has me following Weight Watchers Points plan) weighing and measuring my foods, no longer eating out, eating healthy and have totally given up carbs). I am supposed to loose at least another 10 pounds before I can be scheduled for surgery and my weight loss has come to a screeching halt. And to top it off one of the the diet meds they have me on Phentermine and Topamax is making me itch like crazy (just my hands and feet) so I am living on benedryl and having to get off the diet meds to figure out which one I am having a reaction to. I am feeling very discouraged right now. :-( My doctor hasn't given me a surgery date yet so it's all up in the air. Feeling really bummed. Someone please tell me this is all gonna be worth it.
