Is this something like you're talking about?

Hey Marcy,

Yes I do have a suggestion for protein.  It's called the lil shot.  Its like 2 oz shot of fruit flavored protein shot.  Has 30 grams of protein per shot.  1 gram of sugar and I forget how many calories.  I am going to get one today they sell them at walmart they are 1.98 each.  I will let you know how they taste later today.

Hi Marcy,

I am 7 days post op and you are right, everyone must do some investigation.  10 years ago I went to a seminar and I did not like they way they did the surgery at the time, so I decided I would wait.  Then, as the analithcal person I am, I had to chart things, just medical stuff, then I decided I think today I will sign up for another seminar.  First I did back ground checks on the sureoons that people did recommend, wanted to search for sanctions, malpractice suits and deaths (during and after surgery).

I picked a surgeon who has been doing this for a very long time has many surgeries under his belt and never had a staple leak. I picked the correct doctor, he was very picky about everything, even when he came to the hospital to see me, he made sure everything was correct and in place. While I was there he did dress down a nurse for my name plate not being correct since I was just moved to that room.

I spoke with nutritionists and did research about the surgery and how much I would be restricted to eating, and if I was mentally ready for that.  *This was a yr prior to the surgery*  When I had to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks, I asked questions before I even had to do this, I actually asked at the seminar.  I asked why do I have to do this, what is the purpose and will this benefit me?
My question was answered with the following, 2 week liquid diet will help reduce the fat around the liver and soften as well, since the liver has to me moved out of the way to perform the surgery.  I was like wow.  My doctor is so great, that the office has set up an email box for all questions, I send in the morning, and receive a reply with in 5 min. I send i the afternoon, I receive a reply with in 5 min.  That is great contact with the surgeon, do not have to wait for a phone call.  So when I figured my surgery would be, I wanted to be on the liquid diet longer than 2 weeks, I wanted to reduce alot of fat around the liver and really have the liver soft.  I am so glad I did that. I lost alot of extra weight and that made me feel better.  I am so happy I had this surgery, I eat 1 TBSP of food, have my 60 grams of protein daily and have a total of 64oz of liquid.  It is easy to do once you get a plan going and exercise is even easier as well.  I have to wait until my 3 week post op visit before I jump back in the pool, looking forward to that.

This surgery has saved my life, well at least will add a few more good years to my life so I can feel great and look great.  If anyone asked me if I had to do it allover again would I?  YOU BET I would!!  After the surgery I had absolutly no pain at all, I was surprised.  When my doctor came to visit me the next day he says to me, "MY OR staff was braggin on you."  That made me feel good.  I had a positive attitude going in with a big smile and I told them I hope I can come out of surgery with a big smile and when I heard the nurse say to me in a soft voice, "Deb wake up, it's all over."  I sported a HUGE smile.  I wanted to get up and walk right then, I know walking would get me to recovery faster.  I had to wait til I got to my room and then 3 hrs later I was allowed to get up and walk.  I walked alot in the hospital.  The other patients there were saying, "Hey don't walk so fast, we can't keep up."  My energy level is so much more increased.  I use my treadmill in the morning and walk for 1 mile.  In the afternoon my husband and I take the dog for a walk and walk approx. another 2 miles.  I love it, I love my life even more after WLS. 

I hope you and everyone else who has the WLS has a perfect experience as I did.  I hope future people who are waiting for the WLS have a perfect wonderful expereince.

Take Care and good luck to you and everyone,

Deb
