OMG. I went to GNC yesterday looking for Isopure Water. Well, the guy basically told me it's gross and they don't have anything else in their store. So, he sent me to Vitamin World. I found a Protein water (70cal, 15 G protein) called proteinO2. The sales lady assured me it tastes good. I bought two bottles, one of each flavor they had. I opened the grape one a few minutes ago, and it is seriously the NASTIEST thing I have ever consumed! Stay far away from the protein waters!!!!

Hi Everyone,

I just got back from my post op 2 week appointment which is the first appointment I've had after surgery. I only lost 10 pounds but the doctor says that's good for my beginning body weight and not to worry it's different for everybody so I won't be worried I know it wasn't cheating so it is what it is I'm going to be happy with the 10 pound loss.concerning the blood pressure issues they took me off my blood pressure medicine today. My beginning blood pressure was 144 over 88 and today it was 118 over 62.they told me it could be the blood pressure that was making me a little weak or dizzy because I seem to be well hydrated. I will have to monitor my blood pressure daily as I have been doing for the last two weeks.

Peek, great job on losing the 10 pounds! That's excellent! Glad they took you off your blood pressure medicine. How does it feel to ALREADY have your blood pressure be more normal and not high?!

I had Isopure in Orange, purple bottle and the pineapple orange. Try are not too bad. I did not have a problem drinking them. They are expensive but worth the Protein. Give it a try if you don't like them GNC allowed you to return them

Thanks! I'll have to go back and give them a whirl.

On my scale, I was down 13.8 yesterday. I didnt have to do a pre-op diet, except for full liquids the day before, so I'm sure a lot of that was Water weight. We will see what my official loss is on Thursday when I go to my first post-op appointment!

Peek!! Congrats on the weight loss!!????

Everyone I am doing 100 percent better. I'm drinking Poweraide and it seemed to do the trick. I took my pressure earlier and it was in normal range it's located in an earlier post.

Congrats to everyone who has had their surgeries for everyone whose to come I want to motivate and encourage you. As you read our post you'll see that everyday is not great but everyday is a new day at a new way of living. It takes getting use to but I can assure you it is all worth it. Getting off of weight related medications makes it really worth it! The end result makes it all worth it.????

Okay just got my times...I have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 7:30 am and surgery should be between 9:30 and 10. I am sooooo nervous. I'm worried that since my BMI is over 50 I will have complications.... I've had many surgeries and have never been this nervous. Amazingly though, the one person in my life that I thought would be the least supportive has stepped up and has been amazing. I hate to ask but I have 2 requests...can I get some words of encouragement and maybe a funny one liner for a smile. Sorry that I'm rambling...nerves.

      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.
