My Journey Has Officially Started!



Recommended Posts

:D :D :D So I officially began my WLS journey today! I met with my surgeon for my consultation and it couldn't have gone any better. I feel so comfortable with my surgeon and his team. My doc is also the surgeon who I saw last year for another consult. It was comforting to go into his office and being recognized right away. This is a smaller program, so it is very personal.

I was lucky enough to have found you guys here so I knew what I wanted to ask and was able to also follow what he said.He told me that he was impressed with the knowledge I already have about RNY.

I will be seeing the NUT on Monday and am in the process of scheduling the psych eval, EKG, and lab work. I don't have to have mammo or scope because he did the scope on me in May & I'm current on my mammo.

I'm so excited! I feel great relief knowing that I'm taking control of my health again. Last Wed. I stopped smoking. I am using an e-cig to help, but I don't rely on it. I'm going to do this for ME! I deserve it!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
