Introduction

Hi my name is Linda and have been scheduled for sugery July 17 in Dallas.  I'm having the sleeve.  I am very excited about my decision, plus my husband is happy for me.

Right now my only concer is my mom.  I told her about my thoughts about the surgery a few weeks back and she was down right upset that i woud do such a thing.  (she is 84 and size 2)... she has always been thin... and thinks that well.. people like me.. just don't know how to diet.... anyway... I am going ahead with it without telling her.  You would think a 63 year old woman wouldn't care... but I do. 

I just hope nothing happens to me on the operation table, where she could say.... I TOLD YOU so...  :)

 anyway.... my surgery is a week away, but my doctor did not say anything about protein suppliments.  I  thought, since reading all your comments, I am going out tomorrow to find some good flavors.  Would like to lose a few pounds before surgery.  But what I noticed is that I can't get enough to eat.  I want to gorge myself.  I know that everything will change after next Saturday...

 sorry about talking your time.. but glad to find you.

Hi Linda,

Sorry your mom is giving you a hard time about the surgery, but you have to do what is good for you, so try not to let it stress you out too much (maybe that is part of the reason you want to eat so much lately?)

Try to find some samples of protein powders to try out before buying a big tub of it because sometimes they are down right gross and you will have wasted your $$ - some of them taste good too  :)  I am not sleeved yet, but I understand that your tasts change after surgery so you might be better off sticking to buying the samples for now - unfortunately, they're not available where I live!

Good luck!
Angie

Thank you Angie for your suggestion.

I wish there was a sample machine close to me too.  I have been on Protein shakes many years ago, and found Muscle Milk my favorite.  But Like you said, our taste change.

In fact my taste buds are almost non exsistant... so anything will be a good change.

Good luck to you too Angie.
