Princess T 6 Posted February 19, 2015 I have never heard of unflavoured protien! I will check it out. I have ordered some juice type Isopure but its really hard to get a choice of flavours in England, all the nice flavours are in America! Oh no dont be nervous! It will be fine! I know its easy for me to say now but its not going to be anywhere near as scary as you are thinking it will be! I was expecting the absolute worst pain ever but for the first few days it feels like you have done too many sit ups and you've woken up with achy ribs feeling a bit bruised. Its wasnt like the type of pain I expected after an op. I wasnt sick at all but the hospital had anti sickness meds at the ready to sort that out if I did. I was on a drip for fluids for the first 24 hours so I didnt feel hungry or thirsty. The worst part is having to put up with the liquid diet. Mines for 4 weeks,then pureed food but some are on pureed after a week! When are you going in for yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered directly from their website but I see Amazon has it in stock again. http://smile.amazon.com/Musclegen-Research-Genepro-Genetic-Tri-Protein/dp/B00K6OSDYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424358840&sr=8-1&keywords=genepro+unflavored+Protein I started with a couple sample packs and that's how I knew I was ok with it. Hoping i can still handle it post-op. I am going in for surgery on Tuesday, March 3rd in Mexico. I think that's the part I'm most nervous about, and the day of travel home. I am going with a girlfriend who had the surgery two years ago and I feel like if she can do it, so can I. I'm a trooper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess T 6 Posted February 19, 2015 Awww thank you I will have a look and order some and see how I get on. Since protien has to be my new friend ???? . Everything else is soooo sweet now. And thats coming from a (former) chocoholic!. You will be fine travelling home. The pain I had was only there when I was moving around not sitting in one place. Wear loose trousers and maybe a sports bra without underwire. Just be excited instead of nervous! Its something thats going to make your life better remember so why worry when everything is going to go swimmingly! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you have your procedure & who was your surgeon? @@ronimom I had the surgery done in Tijuana with Dr.'s Cabrera and Camelo. I used Mexico Tourism Co. I had a great experience and would be happy to answer any questions you may have! I've had two girlfriends also go, I was the second of the three of us and everyone had a great experience.

_Kate_ 2,224 Posted June 30, 2015 @jdillon Don't bother with what others think and say, know deep inside it's what you need to do for yourself to be healthy. That's the biggest gift of love you can give yourself. Kindest wishes for a sucessful operation and the start of a life that YOU wish to lead, not others.

perk4756 259 Posted June 30, 2015 Agreed! Mine isn't as low as yours, but mine is 36.7 and have heard similar things from ppl. They don't understand, and I don't care! The person that is NY biggest supporter agrees with me, my husband, and that's all that matters to me. ☺ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
