it was ok

 I had my first protien shake tonight i was trying before i had to go on my liquid diet for my pre op diet. It was not bad i thought it was going to be nasty and it was just ok. Im still waiting on my approval letter i should now something by monday i hope. any advice anyone would like to give? Or tell something good that has happened to you after surgery?

Great idea, trying the protein drinks now.  Just remember, you taste buds may change a little after surgery... mine did.  Hope you hear from your insurance real soon; I know what a challenge it is waiting for them!!!

Good Luck

something good for me is being able to shop at a normal store now, not just catherines or the catalogs.

 Thank you every much i have only broght as much as i need for the pre op diet and after the surgery i will buy for what i have a taste for.

greetings

i can tell you that more than three years after surgery, i still drink a protein drink every day -- cause i genuinely like them!

so many good changes have taken place for me since my surgery, i would hardly know where to start! it's just a whole different life now. i feel like i can do ANYTHING! i can walk my dogs for miles, i can shop anywhere i want, i can fit into chairs/airplane seats/booths, i can run up and down stairs, i don't have be on the alert for evil teenagers yelling nasty comments at me. it's a wonderful life -- i only wish i'd have figured out how to accomplish this change before i hit the age of 50 -- so much time i wasted.

all the best to you!

I have had 2 years of good things that have happened to me since WLS, the newest one for me - I have realized that I  can now actually meet people that never knew I was obese, and it's up to me if I want to tell them. Sounds silly but it's an amazing thing in my book.

Try Unjury protein, I loved the chocolate! www.unjury.com
