You're going to do great. Can't wait to hear how it goes!

@Lioness815 I'll be right there with you. Have to be at hospital for 10am to get things going. No nerves as of yet, we'll see what the morning brings. For sure had some stupid dreams last night about losing weight but other than the weight loss the rest of the dream was just bananas. Best of luck to you and hoping for a pain free speedy recovery for you.

Hey everyone - noob question here. I'm having trouble figuring out this bariatric pal forum. Is it not possible to reply directly to anyone? It seems that all replies simply get thrown into the bottom of this forum sequentially. How does anyone know I am talking to them directly? I see this issue both on Safari on my MacBook, as well as the Bariatric Pal app on my iPhone. Any advice any of you have in this regard would be much appreciated, as I really would like to interact a bit more with you all.

@Rick Z You can click on someones response and click the quote button that pops up. Or you can use the @ sign like I did with your name. The user will get a notification that someone quoted them or called them out.

New here doing Protein Shakes this week surgery is scheduled for July 18th. I am starving! Anyone else doing the Bariatric Advantage shakes.

[J San 1,071]

@pumpkinlocks Welcome and best of luck next week. Sorry to hear about the crappy time your having with the diet. Are the shakes all your allowed? Can you have pickles? They don't really fill you up like a meal but do satisfy the hunger for a bit. Also drink that Water, It will fill your belly and help with the hunger pains. Best of luck to you with the remainder of the diet.

I'm trying different ones, and I haven't cared for the Bariatric Advantage too much. The Premier Protein shakes are AMAZING.

[pumpkinlocks 37]

Thankyou for responding.... Only shakes until the 17th I have been trying herbal tea to see if that will help, just pee a lot lol.

Never tried Bariatric Advantage but did try Premier Protein. They were "OK" but the fake sugar after taste put me off a bit. I've been using Body Fortress, which they sell at Wallmart. Have had vanilla and chocolate and Peanut Butter and they taste pretty good even mixed with plain Water. 60g of Protein per scoop.
