WOW..if you haven't tried it please do..good luck and lynn b patient and it will all work out. Dr. Curry is abosolutely wonderful

Sprinkles, Sorry to tell you but I am not a Chica. I am doing well though. I have my 1 week check up tomorrow. Hopefully onto puree I can't stand this liquid diet. My middle of the stomach inscension is the only that is really bothering me it is still sore to the touch.

Hello all, Sorry it has been awhile, but I am doing great up til today. Can't get far from the bathroom, maybe the smoothie I had. maybe too much dairy.

Need yes monday is it. I am doing well on the pre-op. I have lost 21 so far. I have cheated a little to..a bite here or there, but mostly high Protein low carb. I did have a craving for pizza tonight since I ordered some for my son. So I took a bite chewed it up and spit it out. It was amazing, craving gone, just the taste curbed it. Good luck to all. Sprinkles great to hear that you are doing well.

Hey it did work. Last time I tried that it didn't work. Probably operator error. Thanks again

ok..I will try that. thanks

September 24th is right around the corner getting a little anixious right. I am doing OK on the pre-op diet, a few little bumps and slips, but got right back on. I do miss eating real food. I have lost 19 lbs since the start, but I can't figure out how to get my ticker to move.

lynn and need a sleeve, Yes I am going to Dr. Curry. I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet. I get sleeved on 9/24. I don't mind the eggs. I put a little spray butter on them, the chocolate chip pancakes are ok. the chx noodle, chx and rice and beef and Pasta Soups are ok, but real bland. the carmel nut and carmel rice bars are ok, really surprised how small they are and u are only allowed 1 bar per day. The first night was the worst. I went cold turkey from caffeine and had a MASSIVE headache. other than that going well, jest getting use to eating so often is a different, but all part of the lifestyle change.

I am getting sleeved on 9/24 and just went thru my NUT. The nurse told us no Asprin based meds (advil, alleve, mortin, asprin) due to blood thinning affects for 4 months. Also no caffeine for 4-6 months due the dietric effect. Tylenol is OK, but probably should crush it she said until your are on reg food

Pinky i am in day 2 of pre-op. i messed up and went cold turkey off caffeine. WOW what a headache. Better this morning. Have felt a little hungry, but then i realize it's time to eat again. That's going to take getting use to, eating a little bit more often.

keldolbeth, thanks for the advise. Kadie sounds great we will be going thru it all at the same time. Good luck

zebrasprinkles, Like I said in posting before. I think of it as standing in line to get on a roller coaster you have never been on. You know it's going to be great but the anticipation and fear gets worse the closer you get. Afterwards you kinda laugh at yourself about being so silly. YOu only have a few more days for a lifetime of feeling and looking better. YOu can do this, you are not alone. Buckle down and stay the course everything will be fine.

congrats on the new sleevers. I will be joining you guys on Sept 24th. Monday 9/10 starts the pre-op diet. Kinda like waiting to go on the big roller coaster for the first time. Excited and anxious at the same time.

Yes he is very good, but it's not just him. In my opinion it's the whole set up that I like. The surgery center and everything is right there in one place. Kinda of a one stop shop. My surgery date is Sept. 24. When I met with him I was on the fence leaning more to the sleeve and he was the one that actually recommended the sleeve. They do have financing avail thru three or four different companies. Another thing I like is fact you can do the seminars and most ofthe paperwork on line.

sprinkles, yes married, no my wife is not sleeved. The Unjury is great. The most important thing if you haven't figured it out yet, when heating the Water and adding Protein don't get it over 130 degrees. It took a few experiments, but 1min and 7 seconds in my microwave and water is at 130. if it's too hot then it clumps up and is nasty. Need, as far as protein like I told sprinkles the unjury cheese sauce or the chocolate is good. Once you are on puree then I have been eating a lot of tuna or chicken salad, pureed meatballs with red sauce, they told me anything i could get into a blender and didn't have clumps or chunks. Skyline chili is good to go as is, with no Beans or Pasta though.
Good Luck
