You may want to check with your hospital. I went for pre admission testing today and the nurse told me no polish

Hey Sabrine. Things are pretty good so far. Waiting for my ultrasound of lower extremities now. After that I'm done. I'm meeting up with some of ladies this evening that are having the sleeve here in the Chicago area. Kind of a support group. I'm looking forward to meeting them and discussing our journey.

At the hospital today for my pre admission testing. Pulmonary test, labs and a ultrasound or X-ray. Time is coming soon.

Good Luck! Talk to you when it's all over!

I'm trying to get to Red Lobster for lobster fest. Lol

I'm glad everything went well. Were you told to have protein during your clear liquid stage? The reason I am asking is because they don't have that listed on my post op clear liquid stage

It's called APRIL 21st Sleevers

It's called APRIL 21st Sleevers

I don't think of it as lying either. It's no ones business but our own. It should be our choice if we tell someone. The people that I chose to tell are very supportive and that's what I prefer. My pre op is a week. However this week is my last of a few things. Fried foods coffee since I don't care for it black. I've also been trying some Protein drinks out this week and using my Nutribullet. I figured that could be something useful in the soft food/full liquid stage.

MrsGloMartin there is April 21st Thread that's been started.

gixxergirl there is a April 21st Thread!

Stephanie I know how you feel. My friend had a lot of negativity when she had it done. Now some of those same people are asking her about the sleeve. I chose to keep my surgery to my self. Hubby my mom aunt and a few close friends are all who know. I plan to keep it that way for a while. This is for me and it's my life.

Hi I'm Eboni. I'm 41, married with 3 boys 14, 9, and a soon to 1 yr old on the 16th. I was thin growing up. I ate what I want and didn't start noticing weight until Senior yr in high school. Been on the down up roller coaster since then. A friend of mine was sleeved may of 2013. I was still unsure about it until I saw her results. I'm 275 I have no energy and this is just me. I've tried Everything so I'm doing the sleeve it's time to take control of my weight my health before it gets even more out of control. I have a 1 yr old to chase around. That I want to chase around. I'm excited and nervous, I know it will not be easy but nothing in life worth having ever is.

Hey Erin. April21st is my day as well. We can be sleeve buddies. Lol

April 21 is my day too!

BJs Pantry also have sample packs where you can get a variety of flavors instead of just one. You can choose or they will choose a variety for you. I got a sample pack of the powders. I think it's 10 different flavors.

My hubby is the same way. I have to put it out of his direct vision to keep him from drinking. Lol. I got some singles protein from the vitamin shoppe. I'm drinking Muscle Milk. Chocolate and vanilla they also have cookies and cream and cake batter. I will try those to see if I like

I'm April 21st as well! My preop starts April 14th. I'm starting to prep. Cutting things out....coffee fried foods. I've been juicing for breakfast. I'm also going to start trying protein shakes to see what I like. Time is flying by!

I figured you would have some type of pre op diet.

Good Luck Rosa! Can't to hear from you!
