Hi Auntvick and Brickhouse!!!! So happy to find some locals!!! How are you guys!?!? I am crazy anxious and filled with excitement at this point!!! So glad to have found some REAL LOCALS!!!

Sigma, I'm super anxious, nervous and excited! I think my biggest concern is the pain after surgery lol. I don't really listen to what others say there pain has been, because everyone is different. My high weight was 270, start weight 250, and current weight 233. My goal weight for doctors is 173, my personal goal weight is 160-165. My height is 5`7, yes a shorty lol. It's been an amazing experience so far and I've faced many challenges and realize there will be many more to come, but it will be well worth it. My family is not supportive, but my friends are. My friends have pretty much been my shoulder to cry on when I needed lol. But I'm doing it for me, so I can look and feel good about being me and not be on all these medicines for high blood pressure, cholesterol and the stupid CPAP machine. From the start the hardest thing for me was actually drinking a Protein Shake lol. I just couldn't find the right one. Then at Sam's Club I discovered one called Premier Protein, chocolate, love it! Have you had your Endoscopy yet? Had mine two days ago and still have a sore throat:/. Well, hope to hear from you soon! Btw, real name is Kyle

Yay to my new sleeve buddy!!! How are feeling about it? I'm a total mix of emotions...happy, excited, nervous and anxious as hell. Lol. Does your doc require preop diet? What was your start weight, current weight and what's your goal weight? So excited to have an October 9th sleeve buddy!!!

Congrats!!!I am October 9th as well!!! Sleeve buddies!!!! Yay!

My doctors program just requires a 24 hour surface free liquid diet prior to surgery. Although I have been preparing myself by replacing two meals with a Premier Protein (best ever) shake, with one normal meAl. Will be sleeved October 9th! Anyone else for October 9th?

Check out Premier Protein, I mentioned it in my support group and ppl have fell in love with it. I will be sleeved October 9th and I don't know what I would have done if I didn't find premier protein because I HATE all the other shakes.

Nope, if you shop there without a membership you end up paying fiver percent more. Still works out good either way lol. Also, premier protein IS sweet, but not chalky.

I am to be sleeved on October 9th. I attend support groups weekly. This topic was actually just mentioned on Thursday. Some people who have had the surgery already that were there said everything taste the same, others reported mild changes, and some gave examples of when they first got it done that for a week or two everything, for some even water tasted odd. Some said like sand, some said copper, and yes someone said soap. I wouldn't worry, but if u want that extra relief just call your doc to confirm. Best of luck and please send updates. Will be sleeved by doctor Singe at Albany Medical Center in Albany, NY on October 9th.

Albany, New York here. My journey started in June, just got my surgery date Wednesday and I will be sleeved October 9th! It's a rough journey, but has been and will continue to be well worth it!

It took me FOREVER to find the perfect protein shake. I HIGHLY recommend Premier Protein shakes. They are in packs of 12 and have 30 grams of protein. I can only find them at Sam's Club and with membership they are $18.88, without membership it's and extra 5 percent.
