HELLO ITS ME CAMI

Never heard of a surgeon charging a program fee. Seems terrible to me.

Also love sugar free pops.

Egg salad or tuna salad with low fat triscuit crackers help me. Also Premier Protein drinks from Costco chocolate is fabulous. Best of luck.

I also take Biotin 1000mcg it's Cherry flavored and disolves, tastes great. Start taking them now, you will notice a difference in your nails immediately.

I also try to have a cup of peppermint tea first thing in the morning. Works like a charm, best to all!

Optisource chewable get them on line or at your local Walgreens. They are chewable taste great and go down easily.

Thank you, good luck to all 12-12-12 sleevers.

Hello my surgery was also on 12-12-12. Best thing I ever did. Since the start I've lost a total of 44lbs. I've been sticking to the Dr. and nutritionalist recommedations like glue. I'm able to eat one egg, and the only real issue is with the 1% milk but mild always was a bit of an issue even before the surgery. I like my Premier Protein Chocloate shakes from costco and the Premier Protein Peanut Butter bars as well. My tastes have changes some but all in all I'm able to get my protein and liquid in with the help of sugar free popsicles. Currently I'm doing my treadmill 3 days a week 1 mile a day. Also, walk my dog daily so that helps as well. Keep in touch and best to you all on our new journey to healthy.

Great Job!!!

My first BM wasn't until 5 days out. Perfectly normal after surgery.

I'm a tea drinker so I order a decaf peppermint tea brewed and poured over ice. Delicious!!!

My sleeve was on 12-12-12 and yesterday was the first time I had problems eating. Today I've taken is slow but I thought it was odd too.

What helped me most was the cream of wheat I like it lumpy so I can chew it. Hope this helps!

Congrats on your success!!! My sleeve was done on 12-12-12 and so far I'm loving it and the positive changes in my life.

Wow I'm on liquids for 14 days after my surgery which was on 12-12-12. Tommorrow I get to stage 2 and i can add eggs, cottage cheese, beans, oatmeal and mashed potatoes. yipee. I also burp alot even on liquids only

BMI 40plus other conditions. I have arthritis and High Blood pressure.

Great Job!!!

Are you on the liquid diet, how many days out are you?

I had my surgery on 12-12-12 and I have Medicare. They approved according to my Dr. Good Luck!

ask you dr. to give you something for the nausea, Feel Better Soon,

in the hospital my nurse would crush my pill and add a sip of warm water to it. Then I could drink it down without any problem. At home I'm pretty much doing the same thing so far so good. Best to you!

My pre op diet was as follows:3 Premeir Protein Shakes (Costco) and one Lean Cuisine with 200 -230 calories per day. I was satisfied with this and lost one pound a day. Then clear liquids for two days prior to surgery. Good Luck with your sleeve. My surgery was on 12-12-12 and I'm doing great.

I had my surgery on Wednesday 12-12-12. First visit to the Dr. was great by the second visit I had gained 3 lbs. The Dr. would only do my surgery if I lost 10 lbs. prior so she knew I was committed to losing weight. So now I had to lose 13 lbs. Ugh.... The pre-op diet was 3 protein shakes and one Lean Cuisine meal that was between 200 - 230 calories. I lost 14 lbs in just 2 weeks, schudled my surgery had 2 days of clear liquid only and had a very successful surgery. Coulnd't be happier off my high blood pressure meds and have lost a total of 29 lbs. since this whole life style change started. You will be so much happier when you start the pre op diet you will feel wonderful. Best of Luck to you!!!!

went to my first meeting in October had my surgery on Wednesday December 12th. My thought is when it goes smoothly its The Lord. Best to you!!!
