Im on 2 weeks pre-op shakes and being sleeved this Friday any ideas how to change up the Protein shakes I can't stand the thought of 2 more weeks post-op of the same old thing:( Sent from my iPhone using VST

S- Day this Friday I can't believe it's almost here not loving the thought of protein drinks another 2 weeks BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS !! : "Nothing changes if nothing changes, and if I keep doing what I've always done, I'll keep getting what I've always got, and will keep feeling what I always felt."

I didn't I ate and had a food funeral for about a week prior to the liquids I'm on day 7 of 11 days of liquids I lost 5 lbs to tell you the truth I can't wait for surgery on Friday !! I'm sick of these shakes and have to do 2 weeks post-op with them:( HELP Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am having surgery next Friday all my life I have been an overeater I mean just eat because its there I'm just afraid that months or years down the road I will be doing this again . I am using the sleeve as a tool to a healthier life but of course there's always a bit of doubt anyone eating more than they thought ??? or is it impossible because of the restriction the sleeve makes .

Your right and thank you if you don't mind me asking how long ago were you sleeved and how much have you lost ? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Day 6 liquid pre-op diet sleeve scheduled June 21 and I really want to go out and get a Big Mac or something right now!! I haven't cheated at all and I won't but when I get hungry I'm thinking of all the food I won't have anymore. I know it's a good thing because they are bad for me and I'm determined to make it work and use it as a tool to a new me !! but I'm just sad that i feel like I'm going to miss out on food I'm being honest I loved my fast food and I am an overeater .

Being sleeved next Friday I had my gallbladder removed years ago and the worst part of it was the GAS pain I'm not looking forward to that again:( Sent from my iPhone using VST

My surgery is next Friday Im very determined to use my sleeve as a tool. It's not going to be easy. its going to take eating right and exercise , but to me the pros out weigh the cons. I want to get off most of my meds and have a healthier inside. I also want a healthy looking outside. I want to go shopping NOT at a plus size store and I want to fit into some cute clothes. Im 46 yrs. old and I told myself I would not be this size when I'm 50 ! Someone said this and it stuck in my head -- Be good to your sleeve and your sleeve will be good to you !
