I plan to ask for that during admission. I also told them in pre testing I don't do we'll coming out from surgery from those I've had in the past.

That's how I feel. Can't wait to see the 22nd and have some time off. Lol

All the best to the July 8th sleevers. Happy Sleeve Day to you!

Welcome Lisa! I too will have surgery on the 22nd of the month, I'm so excited. I found this site to be helpful.

You will knock it out of the park! All the best to you.

All the best to you. I am so excited for everyone being sleeved.

Slipping shorts, sweet!

Wonderful!

My doctor was very blunt. Love this guy. We reviewed my test results and he said I have a fatty liver, and in order to do the surgery and to be safe the 13 day day diet is to bring down the fat content fast. So I will have a 1000 calorie a day diet using slimfast, with the options to have SF Jello or unsweetened applesauce as Snacks.

I have test driven serveral brands of shakes. The GNC Lean 25, does not whey protein isolate as a main component. As for taste it was not bad, I needed it to be super cold. But everyones taste buds are different.

All the best to you. Keep us updated on your progress.

The stomach is able to expand again once healed. Not to be rude, if you think the "stretchy part being cut out" is a sales pitch", why did you have the surgery? I would think that you were shown or seen pictures of what was to be done to your insides. And understand what could happen to you if you did not use the new stomach properly.

I like Splenda.

Getting back on track is the key. All the best to you. Keep us posted.

Yesterday was my day, I was on point with my inner skinny girl. I found a dress that did not cling to all of my rolls, it just fell across the body. Not to brag but I looked good, I even rocked my 4 inch sandals! I received so many complements, all the while I as thinking, "Wait til ya see m 100 pounds lighter". To have been successful in keeping the 25 pounds I lost off and working successfully to have more off with weekly excerise classes has been a blessing. Mind you I have no desire to wear skinny girl jeans, but I am looking forward to adjusting my wardrobe. I striveto have a day like yesterday once a week, especially since my clothes are fitting better it should work. Continued success to everyone on this journey. Karen

Not understanding what the 5:2 diet is, but if it involves fasting how does it help with what is being taught by those of the sleeve to get your protein first? And that would be protein everyday right?

Also have your primary physican, write a letter on your behalf, if they can show how your health conditions have progressed over they years and can show that will help you long term. With a BMI of 44 you sound like a good candidate.

I have to get liquid Tylenol also. May pick that up tomorrow. I'm starting early. Want to have the hang of he diet before I get to work Monday.

I start tomorrow, I will do Slimfast for 13 days and Clear liquids the last day. I plan to have unsweetened applesauce in between as a snack..I have to be at a 1200 calorie a day diet the 13 days. SF Jello is allowed also.

You really look great!

Since we all go to a sleeve-anator, we come out of surgery sleeved, we'll now live a unsleevible life! And I plan to act like the true sleeve-arella I am! All that and I can't think of a name for my sleeve. LOL
