Sheri- I'm in indianapolis, IN! Getting very excited but nervous as well. My pre-op class is scheduled for Tuesday! And my fiancé and I are cleaning, organizing , and preparing like crazy (plus planning our wedding lol). Good luck to you and excited we are all going they this journey together!

*sleeved not sleeced lol

I just requested to join as well. I am being sleeced on July 1 and have about 200 to lose

Oh ok! Thanks! I remember hearing about it, I guess I was just confused what it was used for. I've started drinking protein shakes for breakfast...just to try different ones out. Though I'm afraid my tastes will change and I'll have to start all over again! BTW, if you ladies like peanut butter and haven't tried PB2 yet, you MUST! PB2 is a powdered for of peanut butter...and it only has 45 cals and 1.5g of fat!!! You can reconstitute it to make a PB but I'll be honest...haven't tried that yet cause it scares me a little. But blend it up in a chocolate protein drink? Delicious!!!

What is the Torani syrup?

Lol still doing well? I bet that cottage cheese was delicious!

Awesome!!!

Your story is AMAZING and very inspirational! Thank you for sharing. I go in to be sleeved in less than 2 weeks (July 1st) and am excited, nervous, all of the above . Congrats and good luck on your continued journey!

So I am waiting on a surgery date and I'd like to ask all of those that have had surgery this. Based on your recovery, how were you feeling about 2-2.5 months post-op? I think the earliest I can have my surgery will be mid-June and I am getting married Sept 1st an leaving for Ireland the next day! I'm not concerned about being able to eat cake or drink at the wedding...I just want to know if I will feel well? I have made the decision to have the surgery and since I've made the decision, I'm ready to plow ahead. If I don't have it pre-wedding, it won't be until late October. So I'm looking for opinions. My surgeon and the dietician as well a bariatrian I have been seeing all think I will be fine, but I want the opinions of people that have gone thru it. Again, I know I will be extremely limited on what I can eat an I've already talked to the dietician about taking Protein options to Ireland. But at 2-2.5 months, how did you feel?

I have a nutribullet. I don't have a problem with the size. Though I'm not eating protein shakes around the clock yet either

Starting to prepare as well . I don't have a strict pre-op diet but did have a headache from giving up caffeine over the weekend! I feel for those that are on a strict liquid diet! Good luck all my fellow July 1sters

Thank you for sharing your journey!!

I'm July 1st also! Only 2 more weeks! Good luck with your pre-op appt!!

Yes Prilosec is a PPI

Great job!! I'm at 350 and go in to be sleeved on July 1. You're very inspiring! Any advice or dos or donts you can pass along?

How are you feeling?

For my fellow early July sleevers...what are you doing to prepare? Are you buying anything?

So my nutrition class is scheduled but not until 6 days before my surgery. Anything I need to know ahead of time? I've purchased some protein samples to start trying...what else can I do to prepare? I'm anxious but really excited!!

Awesome! That was quick! Keep us updated as you feel up to it.

Glad you're doing well!!!

You too!!! Lets keep in touch and we can get thru all this together!

Thanks for the advice. I actually don't want to wait because I'd have to wait until late oct/early November (because of work). Plus my fiancé and I want to start a family and having to wait the 12-18 months, plus with being older, the extra 5 months means more. I honestly am not worried about eating certain foods. I'm more worries about energy levels. . I think I'm going to go for it! I know complications can happen...and I know I'm going to have to work hard to get my Protein in so I feel "good", but I'm determined and stubborn enough to make it happen lol. Plus I have my seamstress on standby

If the surgeon's office wasn't concerned enough to send you to ER, then I'd say they are sure. You are right...if they thought there was a slight chance of a clot, they would def err on the side of caution. Sorry I didn't mean to worry you more. I do think it was a good idea for you to call today just to check. Glad to hear they weren't super concerned! Hope everything goes well tomorrow and hope you start feeling better!
