Topic: RE: Your favorite protein shakes??
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain.
I am also preop. My doctor suggested I drink at least one protein shake or pudding everyday. I bought the sample packs from Unjury and some from BariatricEating.com. I especially like the strawberry sorbet from Unjury and the Caramel Latte from BE.

Hi Nancy,
Congratulations! You're doing exactly what you need to do to have your surgery. Look at what you've lost already in preparation for your surgery. You're going to do very well.
Way to go!

Hi Laurie,
Congratulations on your surgery date. You'll go through a roller coaster of emotions which are very normal and natural.
As far as advice I can share with you, a couple of things:
1. Follow the rules of your surgeon. Look at this as a lifestyle change. Be aware that weight regain is possible and change your habits. Find out why you turn to food and change that habit to a strategy that helps you cope with those triggers that make you turn to food for comfort.
2. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. We all lose at different rates. As long as you follow the rules and change your habits, you'll lose weight and most importantly keep it off.
3. Take photos of yourself monthly. I hated this one but now I treasure those photos. Take the photo in front of a door so you can see your body shrink compared to the reference of the door frame.
Congratulations and keep us posted!!

Topic: July 13th it is
This week I got my insurance approval and have my surgery date. It will be July 13th. I am 49 years old. My highest weight was 358. I was 324 when I started my approval journey last summer. My last appointment I was 284.
Now I just need to get through this next month without regaining anything.
