Well my surgeon and dietician are fine with my diet so I'm not sure about to much proteinat one sitting. I tried the isopure and thought it was horrible. It had a real gritty after taste.

Not sure why you would need ear plugs but if you want them take them. You'll really just need your slippers and loose cloths as Denise pointed out. I was one that just wanted to go home after so I...

First thing in the morning I do my GNC Wheybolic extreme 60 shake. 60gm's of protein with 12 oz of protein milk right off the bat. So I satrt off with 72 gm's protein then the rest of the day is...

not taking a calcium?

I remember that day and it's a great feeling. Congrats!

well I can tell you this ice cream and pudding were definitely not on any of my diets pre or post diet...Just saying. You need to not just look to see if it's sugar free but also what's the sugar...

Really? More leaks in the US...okay please show the statistics that prove this.

Best of luck to you. I only say this. Do what's right for you. Your family obviously doesn't understand why you want to have the surgery or need to have the surgery. It's your body and health to...

Congratulations on not needing meds! You're well on your way to success. Just remember everything in moderation and you'll be fine. What I've done to lose all of my weight is staying away from the...

Your doctor didn't give you a post op diet? You should be on clear liquids for the first two weeks. Then full liquids for the next two weeks... I'm going to post my post op diet instructions for you....

We're glad to have you here. My journey has been great I'm down 125lbs I feel great and I think I look good. I'll be honest I've seen some bad advise on here so just make sure you check with your...

I have both and find myself only using the bullet. Easier to use and clean up is so much easier.

You won't need anything except your phone and change of underwear. The hospital has extra pillows and you won't need a heating pad. Good luck to you.

I used magnesium citrate. Worked like a charm.

Jenn I'm nine months out from my surgery feel free to friend me and message me any time and I'll be glad to help you out. Good luck to you.

hopefully the gas pain has started to subside. If not try laying on your left side. It's an old wives tale that my grandmother would tell me but it always seemed to work. Good luck to you!

When I was at your stage I would do GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60 shake. It's 60g of protein and taste really good. The chocolate and strawberry are my favorite. I still drink it in the mornings and it...

you should have taken something to clean you out two days prior to surgery. Really odd that your doctor didn't have you do it. I would certainly take something today.

As with Mich-D my surgeon no longer performs the band do to all the issues with it. I had the sleeve nine months ago and I am so happy that I did. I'm down 123 lbs and still losing. Best of luck to...

so I'm 9 months post op and I've been doing P90X and P90X3 and I'm down 125 lbs. I'm doing the lean workouts which is mostly cardio so I would suggest doing more cardio and less weights.

When I was on the liquid pre-op diet I went to the bathroom all the time. I didn't have gas before surgery and if you think the gas is bad now just wait until after you wake up from surgery because...

I feel great. I've been doing P90X3 as well as eating right.

Here's a couple of pics of me before and after.17643

You should still be on clear liquids only.

my bill I just received from my doctor and hospital. 72,954.80. My insurance covered 100% minus my out of pocket maximum which I already met. My portion of this $150. But I got lucky because I have...
