WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
I got a surgery date!
Also has anyone ever used :
1. the liquid calcium called: Osteo Calm- Bone health support (calcium and magnesium) brand Natural Vitality - Peter Gilham.
2. Prolab advanced wehy protein - vanilla? Wondering if it is lactose free?
Wooo Hooooo!!!!!!!!! What are your fears? I am sure that one of us has had the exact same one and can share. I started at 292 and had made it to 275 when I met with the doctor for my pre op. He tells me he wants me to loose another 10 lbs at least THEN he will schedule my surgery 
. I don't know how but I lost 11 lbs in just over a week.
I havent tried the liquid calcium but would like to hear reviews.
I may be wrong (yeah it really has happened before
) but isn't whey a milk based protein?
Just when the Catipillar thought the world was over
....She became a Butterfly
300+ /260/ 140 Current BMI 22.4 /No Longer a #, just were my body is Happy
Highest Weight/ at surgery/ current /Goal
I've never used liquid calcium, I do Bariatric Advantage chewables and caplets from Walmart (equate Calcium Citrate+D).
I Have not used that specific protein but I believe that Muscle Milk makes a Lactose Free protein and there is a Soy protein out there. If you Google it you will find different choices!
Congrats again on your surgery date. :)

Of course - you are excited and nervous...
this is surgery....
however- if you follow the plan that your surgeon outlines for you especially EARLY OUT!! you should have MINIMAL problems.
it's when we try to eat things Not on the list that we get into trouble!
sip sip sip
then chew chew chew
I'm almost a year out and eating close to MY NEW NORMAL!
better choices (most of the time) and a LOT less food than before.
nerves are normal....
they make you ASK questions! try to get decent answers from your surgical team at the doctors office.... local support.... start attending NOW if you haven't already. My local support group has been a marvelous help.
Of course, we will always be here to cheer you!
Again CONGRATS!!!!
