I am taking Flintstones chewables and B12 that is liquid form. You will lose weight on the pre op diet. It sucks! And is hard. Definitely go to your favorite restaurants if you have any and eat your food too. It sucks not having any real food. We will have it eventually though and the liquids is only temporary. Thank god lol. You will get back on track soon enough and it's gonna be okay. I'm sorry all of that happened to you. It's great that you have a surgery date and something to look forward too! I'm here for support too. I definitely regretted it afterwards just because I wanted something to eat. Not even the pain. The pain wasn't bad for me at least. Food is just the best and it's hard when you get it taken away from you.

Another question. Are any of the appointments prior to surgery family friendly? My husband would like show his support and attend them with me.

I believe he can come to any of them. The nutrition class, a lady was with her mom. The 2nd class with Ivan, he talks to you one on one afterwards. The pre admission is just them taking blood n seeing what medicine your on n how healthy you are.

I'm pretty proud of myself. I got horrific news about 6:30 last night about the loss of a dear, sweet, wonderful person due to heroin. I don't know if you guys know this but I'm a social worker at a drug rehab in butler county. Anyway. I've been an emotional wreck but have not eaten since finding out. Normally I'd eat everything!! I'm still so devastated and a hot mess but at least I did not turn to food. I can't sleep either! But no food.

Sorry to hear about your loss. You still need to hydrate and get some Protein in. It's your job now.

Tssiemer, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It's no fun losing someone we get close too at work. Drugs are horrible and people don't realize how dangerous they really are. It's taking over the world. It's sad. I hope you will be okay.

Molly do you use anything in particular to help keep your drinks and Protein Shakes cold thought the day?

      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.
