My surgery is March 18th and I am supposed to start my liver shrink diet Saturday....I have been stocking up on Protein Shakes when I caught them on sale/coupons but I was planning on going shopping today/tomorrow for the rest of the food I need since I have had a hectic schedule but now we have like 4 inches of snow!!! Guess I will have to wing it with what I do have around the house!! Time to get creative!! Haha

Good luck, mine was a total liquid diet and I way over bought lol by day 3 I was hardly hungry and only doing 2 shakes and chicken broth (which helps with the headaches too)

I have the shakes and yogurt but only have grapes and carrots in the house for the kids lunches! Great tip on the chicken broth though I will have to remember that! I do a shake for Breakfast and lunch then small piece of fruit and 4 oz. of yogurt for 3 Snacks then dinner is 3 oz. piece of lean meat and steamed veggies. Plus non starchy veggies are unlimited! I am glad I am doing this rather than the liquid one pre op!

I live in Massachusetts.... You wouldn't believe the amount of snow if I told you. You can't see over the snow banks to turn a corner.

Problem here is we get a little sleet or snow and the city shuts down! Stores are out of milk and bread and people go nuts. We have had 5 snow days already this year and now another one and probably more tomorrow. If it's not too bad tomorrow I will venture out to the store

      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.
