4 lbs away from presurgery goal weight



Recommended Posts

On my 90-day medically supervised diet required by Medicare. Have 2nd weigh-in Feb 17. My goal weight before last weigh-in is 229. This AM my weight is 233 Will likely get below 229 a month early. Getting excited about having gastric sleeve surgery.

I will be 67 in March and have 5 comorbidities. My BMI is 45. My PCP told me in December I was now pre-diabetic. That made my decision for WLS immediately. Already have PCP approval and Psych Eval.

I drink one Premier Protein to replace a meal each day. Really like Caramel flavor and will likely continue this plan for several months after surgery. Just discovered Sam's Club has 12-pack for $17.79 which is huge savings. So immediately bought membership for $45 and ordered two 12-packs for store pickup tomorrow.

So if any of you have a Sam's Club nearby and drink Premeir Protein, check it out.

I'm almost 67 and had a sleeve 8 weeks ago. I'm down almost 45 lbs and very happy I had this done. We 're never too old for good health and better self-esteem.

If you drink coffee the Caramel and the Cafe Latte flavors are great additions as a Protein rich substitute for half and half or cream.

Just checked out Premier Protein online.. I really with I lived in the states right about now. We don't have much of a variety in Denmark and importing fees are ridiculous. 🤬

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
