Who lives in Fresno California and has or or getting the sleeve???

Agreed^^ this pain is no joke. So ready for the positive side of surgery!!!!

They said I had to be on a low 800 calorie high protein diet before surgery. They said it could be solid or liquid. I started the diet on Monday 3/11 and I've only been drinking protein shakes for 4 days. Now I'm getting headaches from not eating. Any one else on this diet ? Does anyone know if it would be safe or okay to replace one of the shake meals for like fish or something else high in protein/ low In cals as long as it adds up to be under 800?

How many of you guys have friends or family who turned jealous cuz they're insecure that you might be skinnier than them and how did you deal with it? I have a friend's who's been a good friends for many years but she keeps giving me " back handed compliments".and I'm starting to see jealousy in some family members. =\

And watch your sodium intake, more sodium leads to water retention which leads to weight gain .

I did this pre-op 1200 calorie diet / 30 min workout a day and lost 30 lbs in 2 months and I've been .on a liquid high protein/ low cal diet for 4 days and I've already lost 5 pounds.

March 25th!

Yeah my friend is like at the most 15 pounds over weight and shes always complaining she's fat ( even though she's still Hella skinny) and now that my surgery is in 11 days she feels the need to compete with me. Like seriously I'm not doing this to compete with anyone or make anyone jealous. I'm just trying to have a healthy and happy life. She's been a close friend for 8 years but lately I've just been avoiding her. I've been on kaisers pre- op diet for 2 months and lost 35 lbs on my own and ever since I have she's been weird. Do you think its jealousy or insecurities?

Congrats. I get sleeved on the 25 th of march

Fresno ca (:

I am worried about the same thing!

Yes my surgery is march 25th too!
